As the human spaceflight plans at NASA transition away from the Shuttle program, there have been lots of goodbyes. And hellos. Recently, both the Space Shuttles Atlantis and Endeavor found new permanent homes in their post-flight lives. Atlantis is now at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center in Florida, and Endeavor will be found from now on at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
At each location, NASA held a welcome home/retirement party for the Shuttles. As we've talked about before , the Shuttle program did so much more than just take people into space (which, of course, is a very important job). It also delivered many unique and important telescopes and instruments into orbit – including the Chandra X-ray Observatory.

February 1951 Radio-Electronics
[Table of Contents]
Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics.
See articles from Radio-Electronics,
published 1930-1988. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.
If you are familiar
with aircraft electronic navigation systems, reading in this 1951
Radio−Electronics article's opening paragraph about how "Omnirange aircraft
navigation will make air travel safe, dependable, and predictable regardless of
visibility, and volume of air traffic," really makes you realize how far we have
come in the last seven decades. The network
VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) station revolutionized aviation by enabling
precision navigation using relatively simple, reliable, and inexpensive
equipment in the cockpit which enables pilots to fly from waypoint to waypoint
across the country. Eventually, five variations of VOR evolved with ranges going
from 25 nautical miles (~29 statute miles) up to 130 nm. The addition of TACAN
(TActiCal Air Navigation) provided slant distance information to or from the
VORTAC station. Since the introduction of full precision
(Global Positioning System), when the U.S. government unclassified the "P-code"
which intentionally denied commoners access to the high precision mode, GPS has
been replacing VOR/VORTAC as the dominant means of air navigation for both VFR(
Visual Flight Rules) and IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) operation. My couple
years of general aviation in the late 1970s involved a VOR and Direction Finding
receiver in a Piper Colt airplane. Dead reckoning with a good pair of eyes was
considered the primary mode of navigation for VFR trainees like me, with the
other systems being luxuries for secondary use or in emergency situations (like
when stupidly flying into a cloud). While recently flying as a passenger in a
friend's Cessna 172, the only navigation he used was GPS being displayed on an
iPad clipped to the control yoke. All the cockpit instrumentation data was
presented on the iPad as well, including radio communications where the air
traffic controller's trademark rapid, nearly garbled speech was neatly
translated into text.
We've come a long

Omnirange = Air-Safety Cover Feature
Omnirange aircraft navigation will make air travel safe, dependable, and predictable
regardless of visibility, and volume of air traffic. A major innovation in air navigation,
the omnirange will require about fifteen years and $1,500,000,000 for installation
throughout the country.
The Civil Aeronautics Administration and equipment manufacturers are cooperating
to carry out the recommendations of the Radio Technical Committee and the Air Navigation
Development Board for this program. The Air Navigation Board is headed by representatives
from the CAA and the Army, Navy, and Air Forces. The Radio Technical Committee for
Aeronautics includes delegates from manufacturers, air transport associations, airlines,
Enroute, the pilot can fly any desired track within range of the ground transmitters
strategically located throughout the United States. When approaching an airport
preparatory to landing, the aircraft aligns itself perfectly with the runways for
a v.h.f. localizer approach with the same equipment. The system uses the v.h.f.
communication receiver of the aircraft that also serves for two-way voice communication
with ground stations and other aircraft. The same receiver also receives voice signals
from the ground during a ground-controlled-approach landing operation.
The omnirange indicates direction because the v.h.f. receiver picks up signals
of a certain phase relationship for a given angle from the transmitter. A converter
unit transforms this phase relationship into an infinite number of courses with
respect to each ground station. The aircraft can use the omnirange no matter what
angle it bears and whatever its location. With the previous range systems on lower
frequencies, a plane could "fly the range" only along one of the four beams or legs
of a ground station. These are only 3 degrees wide. Instead of a total of 12 degrees
of range coverage in a total of 360 degrees, the omnirange covers 360 degrees for
every ground station.

The Ground Station
Fig. 1 illustrates a typical ground omnirange station spotted to have minimum
distortion or error due to the topography of the earth. A circular ground plane
is atop the antenna tower. A housing transparent to radio signals protects the antennas.
The transmitter with its automatic emergency power supply is located in the house
adjacent to the antenna tower.
The ground omnirange transmitter radiates two radio signals which add together
to form a single signal at the receiving point, normally on an aircraft.
One of the two signals radiated is nondirectional. The other is a rotating field
comprising two figure-eight directive patterns at right angles to each other and
derived from a single signal source over two pairs of antennas. A split capacitor
rotated by a motor driven at 1,800 r.p.m. varies the voltage fed to the antenna
pairs at a sinusoidal rate of 30 cycles per second. The two figure-eight radiation
patterns add together at each instant through a full 360 degrees to form a new figure-eight
pattern as shown in Fig. 2. The non-directional field pattern from an additional
antenna is superimposed on this rotating figure eight to produce the resultant pattern
shown in Fig. 3. The sum of the rotating and nondirectional fields result in a rotating
cardioid radiation pattern. Because this field rotates, the signal strength at any
receiving point varies at the rate of 30 cycles per second (corresponding to the
motor rotation of 1,800 r.p.m.). It is called the variable (v) voltage. The nondirectional
antenna transmits another signal containing a fixed modulation or tone of 30 cycles
which is called the referenced (R) voltage. The variable voltage is compared with
the reference voltage to provide a measure of the bearing of the airborne omni-receiver
(the aircraft itself) from the ground station with respect to magnetic north or
zero bearing. A different phase angle exists between the reference and the variable
voltage for every change in direction between the air-borne receiver and the ground
omni-range transmitter as shown in Fig. 4.
The Aircraft Installation
Fig. 5 shows the controls or instruments used by the pilot in an aircraft for
1. Remote control unit for selecting the correct frequency of a tunable or present
2. Course selector for the course that the pilot wishes to follow.
3. Cross-pointer meter or deviation indicator so pilot can determine what maneuvers
to make to stay on course.
4. To-from meter to indicate whether the station he is tuned to is toward or
from his location. He can work with a station behind as easily as with a station
ahead so long as the correct 180-degree side is used in laying out his course.
Besides these controls and instruments, the aircraft installation contains a
receiver, a converter unit, and power supplies. The receiver is a nine-tube AM superheterodyne
tunable from 108 to 135 mc.
Fig. 6 is a block diagram of the converter unit. It can function only on the
omnirange signals coming out of the v.h.f. receiver. This unit takes the complex
audio-frequency signal voltage from the receiver and converts it so that the bearing
of the receiving antenna (on the aircraft) can be determined with respect to the
transmitting antenna (at the ground omnirange station).
The a.f. signal consists of two independent components. One is the reference
channel signal. This is 9,960 cycles per second, frequency-modulated (changed in
frequency) at a 30-cycle-per-second rate to 480 cycles per second above and below
9,960. In practice, a round figure of 10 kilocycles is used in mentioning the 9,960-cycle
signal and it is referred to as the "10-kilocycle channel." After this signal passes
through a filter, a limiter provides a uniform signal by limiting the maximum values
which signals can attain. This is followed by a discriminator which converts changes
of frequency into changes in voltage. This derives the reference 30- cycle-per-second
voltage. Its phase is independent of the bearing of the transmitter.
The other one is 30 cycles per second (variable-channel signal) whose phase in
space at any given instant is a. function of the bearing from the transmitter. This
30-cycle variable amplitude modulation is in phase with 30-cycle frequency modulation
of the 10-kilocycle channel when the receiving antenna bears zero degrees from magnetic
north. At every other point around the ground transmitter, the two 30-cycle voltages
differ in phase by an amount up to 360 degrees, which can be read on the course
selector as a bearing to or from the omni-station.
In the block diagram (Fig. 6), the a.f. output signal from the receiver is filtered
to separate the 10-kc and 30-cycle components. A highpass filter passes the 10 kc
as indicated on the right side of the block diagram, while a lowpass filter passes
the 30 cycles as indicated on the left side of the same diagram.
On the 10-kc side, an additional 10-kc filter is provided after the discriminator
to eliminate residual 10 kc which might still be present at that point. It passes
through an audio-frequency amplifier and thence to another a.f. amplifier as well
as through a resistance-capacitance network to shift the phase approximately 90
electrical degrees to an audio amplifier. One amplifier goes through an a.f. transformer
to a watt-meter circuit comprising the cross-pointer meter while the other amplifier
goes through another a.f. transformer to a wattmeter circuit comprising the to-from
In the 30-cycle leg of Fig. 6, the out-put of the a.f, amplifier goes through
a lowpass filter and thence to a phase-splitting network which produces a 30-cycle
input to two a.f. amplifier tubes that are functioning 90 electrical degrees apart.
A circuit from each of the two tubes contains one primary of the course selector
(CUS SEL. PR. NO. 1 AND PR. No.2) while the secondary of the course selector (CUS
SEL. SEC) has a voltage induced in it whose phase depends on its angular setting
and whose magnitude is determined by the voltage at the input to the phase splitter.
In the PHASE-LOC (phase-localizer) switch position, the phase and amplitude of
the voltage applied to a tube are those required to give zero current in the cross-pointer
meter when the receiving antenna on the plane is in the center of the runway receiving
only reference voltage. On either side of on-course, a signal arrives through the
variable channel which is either in phase or 180 degrees out of phase with respect
to the reference voltage. The result is a motion of the needle to left or right
of center as the two signals are in or out of phase. The phase-localizer function,
designed for blind landing, is no longer in use.
Flying the Omnirange
U sing the equipment is simplicity itself. In the words of a very clearly written
CAA nontechnical booklet "Flying the Omnirange."
Let us suppose that the pilot decides to fly to a particular city. First, he
looks at a recent aeronautical chart, which shows the frequency and location of
each omnirange. He then selects an omnirange close to where he is going, and tunes
it in on the proper frequency. To be sure he has the correct range, he listens with
earphones to the identification, sent out either in Morse code or by voice recording.
Next. he turns his bearing selector until the vertical needle centers at the
bottom of the round dial. He glances at the to-from indicator to be sure the bearing
is to the omnirange. If it should be from, he merely turns the bearing selector
180 degrees, at which point the indication will become to.
All that he then has to do is to fly a course which will keep the vertical needle
centered. If it moves right, the pilot flies right to correct his course. If it
moves left, he turns the plane slightly left until the needle is centered.
That is all there is to it. If he keeps the needle centered, he will fly directly
over the omnirange. At that point. the to-from needle will flicker for a few seconds,
then change to a from indication. If the pilot desires to continue in the same direction,
he merely continues to keep the needle centered.
Nothing has been mentioned about correction for wind drift or correction for
magnetic variation because by using the omnirange there is no need for correction.
Keeping that vertical needle centered automatically "crabs" the plane into the wind
just the right amount to fly a straight-line course to the omnirange. Magnetic variation
is corrected in the omnirange itself - all its courses are in terms of the local
The omnirange program as described in this article is the first of three initial
phases of the postwar aviation navigational radio aid program. Many devices are
now in development and in production for early widespread adoption by major aircraft.
Simplified forms are being developed for private aircraft. The navigational computer,
also known as the R-Theta computer, uses two or more omnirange stations simultaneously
to provide constant and automatic fixes for an aircraft at all times. DME or distance-measuring
equipment operating on 1,000 megacycles is now under heavy initial production with
some $20,000,000 of equipment ordered for the ground stations. DME will show the
pilot the exact distance or number of miles he is to or from an omnirange, DME-equipped
To make simplified, light, low-cost equipment available, the CAA has sponsored
initial procurement contracts to absorb the development cost so that plane owners
can buy such equipment on the basis of production cost alone. In competitive bidding,
such a contract was awarded by CAA to the National Aeronautical Corp. of Ambler,
Pa., which has developed the equipment shown in Fig. 7. The components are:
1. Receiver using seven tubes and continuously tunable from 108 to 122 mc as
required for omni- and two-way radio reception. The weight is 2 pounds.
2. Transmitter for two-way voice communication. It weighs 22 ounces, has six
crystal-controlled channels, and an output of 3/4, watt.
Other manufacturers are also developing receiving equipment for putting the entire
system into one compact cabinet or panel for dash mounting. In the costlier and
larger systems, up to 280 crystal-controlled, automatically selected channels can
be selected for communication and navigation.
Whenever a ground omnirange station is so situated with respect to terrain conditions
that errors exceeding 3 degrees take place in aircraft, the CAA has made local constructional
changes or even moved the entire omnirange station to a more reliable location.
The need to do this has been minimized by extensive field tests with portable omni-range
ground stations in advance.

Some of Saturn’s smaller moons are integral with the planet’s rings. These moons create art on a canvas of the rings with gravity as their tool. Here Prometheus is seen sculpting the F ring while Daphnis (smaller than one pixel in this image) raises waves on the edges of the Keeler gap. The image scale is 11 km per pixel.
Prometheus (86 km across) is just above image center; Daphnis (8 km across) is in the Keeler gap just to the right of center and can be located by the waves it creates on the edges of the gap. Prometheus has been brightened to enhance their visibility in this picture. This visible light image looks toward the unlit side of the rings from below the ringplane.

If you are planned to monitor a big event, protest or even an individual purpose, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles can provide your team with the overview of the event in order to maintain the control. The monitoring systems application can provide a huge number of benefits to the management team to focus on public safety and civil security.
The following are a few of the benefits UAV offer for the security concerns:
1. Less noise — The noise of helicopters and planes is seriously disturbing people during the surveillance work. UAV is much comfortable and will not be noisy as helicopter and plane.
2. Easy to use — UAV is easy to use than what you expected. Security pros can usually learn to plan and implement missions in a matter of hours.
3. Real-time monitoring and coordination — The video from the drone can directly transfer to a large screen, so the surveillance operation team can immediately take action when happen any uncertainties.
4. Payload flexibility — Drone can use a conventional video camera or a thermal camera payload to detect suspects in darkness or dense vegetation in order to ensure the safety concerns.
On the other hand, surveillance drone application can also be used for traffic surveillance, sporting facilities, monitoring of natural disaster, police-related activities, anti-terror activities and etc. But all the activities of drone must be followed the laws and regulations, if not you might commit a crime if you break the rules.
Drones offer a new and unique way to capture the world around us.
Our drone services include:

Esta é uma história sobre algumas aventuras do Sr. Walter nos tempos da guerra em que completou missões perigosas. Alguma hora, traduziremos este texto para o português.
Mr Walter "Blaacky" Schwartz is a USA citizen. The young American man studied and graduated as a photographic engineer at the United States Army request and cost. He was trained and refined his skills to do it right: press the shutter at the perfect timing and capture the moment of the strike. Although Mr Schwartz preferred not to reveal what institution he received training, he carries the name of at least one very famous camera maker company in his diploma.
The first story is about a mission over the eye of a hurricane, at a very high altitude to be able take photos for a weather committee of scientists. At the time we talked, he reasoned about one elegant and simple definition for the purpose of narrow-angle lenses: it was to go in pursuit of further detail of the subject when it was not convenient to go closer, of course. Another group of men could never have passed as near a spiralling rotatory to death and return home with mission accomplished but those men in the crew.
On other occasions, Mr Walter entered volcanoes under mission assignment to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
One of the most admirable trace of character of Mr Walter was his courage in face of such dangerous situations. While he talked about those remembrances, we would not quiver his voice. His life stories are truly fascinating.
Another one of his military stories he could and was willing to share is as follows.
He was sent to one military missions aboard the Memphis Belle bomber craft. It was the first heavy bomber to return to the US after completing 25 successful missions during the Second World War in Europe. The Memphis Belle is an American icon, it represents sacrifice and what Americans will do to protect their freedom.
The mission started upon arrival of the crew members at the War Front, located somewhere in the coast range of England. The Air Front was composed of dozens of wings and for this mission, as many as 35 aircrafts would campaign together. The air front faced France and Germany, territories which were taken by the enemy at the Second World War. All crew members were gathered with the group commander at the target map room. It was where they were informed the whereabouts and objectives the commission was to carry out for the first time. All crew members synchronised their wrist watches, just before the little spare time they had before lift off. The spirits of them were high, expectant and hopeful. Many soldiers went to see the base priest for their prayers.
The aircraft he was sent to board was a B-17 heavy bomber craft, a B-17 made by Boeing and was propelled by four engines. The particular design made it possible for the aircraft sustain flight even when severely damaged. It had a big wing which could bear many holes..
It had a nearly frameless clear-view nose, which was transparent and bore the pilot stick panel, sharing the tight space alongside one head gunner. Most of the 10-men crew were gunners, positioned at specific angles to cover most attack angles. Each gunner had a radius range of 1,000 yards frontward and adding all gunner posts, they were protected almost 360 degrees. Others would take care of the bombs to be dropped. There was one chief bomb engineer at the wing formation who would decide the precise moment of bomb release, after which every other bomber group crew would release their bomb load in sequence. The air formation provided them even more protection at altitude of 25 thousand feet (7.6 kilometres approximately).
About a week and a half after the crew finished their
25th mission, they were visited by the King and Queen on
the 26th of May 1943.
That is thought the pilot, Robert Morgan, named the craft
Memphis Belle for his Memphis sweetheart, Margaret Polk.
There were other
markings, such as
Irene underneath the window of the
radio operator Hanson and the name
Virginia on the
right-hand side where the waist gunner position was. The very
well-known nose art was a drawing of 25 bombs, represneting 25
succesful missions, and some stars over the bombs, representing
when the Bell was a lead in the attack formation. There were some
swastikas around the aircraft around mid to late May that year.
the aircraft had it's 26th mission while still in
the 91st Bomb Group. The markings changed over time.
Mr Schwartz said his aircraft was not carrying bombs, his mission was to take photographs, footage of the mission execution.
Outside the Memphis Belle, many black specks were part of the scenario and were increasing. These were the result of detonation of anti-air missiles shot from ground territory. They were always apprehensive and concerned, or scared, because the flak was coming up, the blue black puff of seemingly innocent smoke is a bomb exploding. If that blew near to the wing, it would take the whole wing off. At that height, the enemy aim was very bad and most missiles would dischard before hitting the aircrafts, but many discharged close enough to the formation that many aircrafts had missing parts. Some of B-17 downed and others were out of sight into enemy territory. It was time to hold strong, keep to the Formation. The crew was plenty busy.
The American crew knew that if the German bombardiers ceased firing, enemy aircrafts would soon come firing from any side in the sky.
All anticipation culminated in the most important moment of the mission and their their sole purpose: drop the bombs and check whether they hit the targets. The targets were usually buildings and facilities that upon destroyal would warrant devastating political and economical impact.
Bombs dropped and the photograph plates were exposed. At that point, the first half of the mission had been done. It was the most important part but also the easiest, as they took the enemy by surprise upon arrival. The second part was most dangerous, the crew would try and return to the air base.
With the expertise of all men aboard, and some luck, they all landed well enough. Many of the return crew members who landed were badly injured, some dead and others intact. All of them, without exception, held strong to their honour and returned to America with glory. All survivor soldiers were received back with the utmost respect and love from their compatriots and friends. Those soldiers would be recognized for their impetuous spirits and firm minds. They would now return home and train new people, tell them what happened at the war front and how that was done.

Drone Detection technology that Detects, Locates, Identifies, and Tracks
Recently, the sUAS industry has experienced tremendous growth in the Commercial and Enterprise sectors. More organizations, agencies, corporations, and individuals are utilizing sUAS technology. Due to the growing industry, there is a growing concern for public safety and air traffic safety. As a result, DJI in partnership with FLYMOTION has released its first drone detection system: AeroScope.
AeroScope is a DJI drone detection system. The drone detection technology allows the user to track telemetry data for each aircraft within a radius of up to 50km. AeroScope will help personnel at locations such as government facilities, military facilities, stadiums, airports, ports, correctional facilities, energy facilities, power plants and other critical institutions to detect, locate, identify, and track all DJI UAV within the detection range. Once the user receives what DJI calls an “electronic license plate”, the proper authorities can respond appropriately.
There are three configurations available for AeroScope: a mobile unit, a single stationary unit, and a quad stationary unit. A single unit, whether mobile or stationary, has a range of approximately 5km – 20km. However, for institutions seeking the ultimate drone detection solution, a stationary quad AeroScope unit is available. This system boasts a range of detection of up to 50km, providing the user with unprecedented drone detection.
DJI technology that Detects, Locates, Identifies, and Tracks
AeroScope’s real-time monitoring brings unprecedented security and safety to your airspace with detection, location, identification and tracking capabilities. Law enforcement and other similar agencies are able to easily detect abnormal drone behaviors and respond accordingly.
By intercepting the data shared between the UAV and controller, the system is able to:
- Detect all DJI UAV within range
- Locate the UAV and pilot
- Identify speed and altitude of aircraft
- Track and plot the UAV’s flight path
FLYMOTION and AeroScope
We are proud to announce that DJI has selected FLYMOTION to be the Certified sales, installation and training provider for AeroScope.
FLYMOTION has been heavily involved with DJI in the testing and development of AeroScope. We have also had the opportunity to test its functionality in multiple real-world environments, most notably one of the world’s most televised New Year’s events and many more “confidential” operations. After deploying this technology in the field, we have no doubt that AeroScope is revolutionary to the UAS industry.
- Wide Range

On Florida’s Space Coast, we like to say rockets get out of here in a hurry. This GoPro “nightlapse” timelapse makes the launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 with Starlink satellites on April 28, 2021, appear to be REALLY fast. In retrospect, it would’ve been nice if the trees weren’t in the way, but the challenge of launch photography is knowing where the rocket is going to come up, especially if you’re shooting from a new location. Yes, you can sort of figure it out, but it’s still possible to be just a little bit off.
It was a really windy night, so the palm trees were blurred in my photos. The moon was just beyond full, so it showed up nicely in the fisheye photo.
In this picture, I played around with stacking just a few photos. That’s the streak shot here with the nice blue background and really short star trails.
Here’s the photo I shot with my 10.5mm fisheye lens. This is one long exposure – 257 seconds – featuring the launch on one side and the moon on the other. I cropped it a little to get the strong horizontal shape.

The NTSB has issued an update as part of their ongoing review of the American Airlines Flight 383 engine failure. The incident, which took place on October 28, 2016, at Chicago O’Hare International airport, happened during the take-off roll of the Boeing 767-300 (N345AN). Immediately after the incident, an emergency evacuation was conducted for the 161 passengers and 9 crewmembers onboard.
The NTSB’s initial findings, drawn from witness statements to airport personnel, video evidence, flight data recorder (FDR) data and GPS data, provide the following basic timeline for the incident:
Graphic courtesy of the NTSB
A stage 2 high-pressure turbine disk in the right engine fractured into at least 4 pieces (locations A, B, C and D on the graphic above). The piece found at location A was propelled through the inboard section of the right wing, over the fuselage and into a nearby UPS warehouse.
Recovered stage 2 HPT disk pieces, photo courtesy of the NTSB
The majority of the disk was recovered and sent to the NTSB laboratory in Washington DC for a more detailed examination. The NTSB has found that one of the fractures on the disk “exhibited features consistent with fatigue cracking initiating at an internal inclusion near the forward side of the hub’s inner bore.”
The NTSB says that the disk had 10,984 cycles, with a life limit of 15,000 cycles, and that a review of the engine maintenance records, manufacturing records, and associated processes are ongoing. In addition, the disk will undergo metallurgical examinations focused on “detailed characterization of the inclusion and the fracture surfaces.”
Additional debris from the engine and wing were found around the area marked “gouge in runway” on the above graphic.
NTSB Senior Air Safety Investigator Lorenda Ward is the Investigator-in-Charge, leading a team with expertise “in the areas of airworthiness, powerplants, structures, survival factors, maintenance records, flight recorders and metallurgy.”
In addition to the NTSB, the FAA, American Airlines, Allied Pilots Association, Boeing, General Electric Engines, the Transport Workers Union of America and the Association of Professional Flight Attendants are also parties to the investigation.
The official accident docket for the American Airlines Flight 383 engine failure with associated factual reports and other material related to the investigation will be opened at a later date, and the NTSB will release more information as warranted.

U.S. Air Force fighter jet crashes into sea off England's coast, search and rescue underway
LONDON - An American fighter jet crashed into the North Sea off the coast of England on Monday morning.
According to ABC News, an F-15C Eagle, from the U.S. Air Force's 48th Fighter Wing, was on a "routine training mission" with one pilot on board when it went down at approximately 4:30 a.m. ET, according to Col. Will Marshall, commander of the 48th Fighter Wing.
"The cause of the crash is unknown at this time," Marshall said in a video statement Monday. "Search and rescue efforts are currently underway, but the pilot of the aircraft is still missing. We will provide updates as they become available while prioritizing respect and consideration for the pilot's family."
The aircraft deployed earlier that morning from the U.K. Royal Air Force station near the village of Lakenheath in Suffolk, England. The base hosts U.S. Air Force units and personnel.
"We're extremely grateful for the timely response of our U.K. counterparts in support of these recovery efforts and remain hopeful that our Liberty Wing airman will be relocated and recovered," Marshall said.

Editor’s note: At publication time, the author was beginning the first leg of the Antarctic research journey detailed below. The traverse is expected to take 2–3 weeks.
Our polar regions are changing. Grounded ice is melting off of both Greenland and Antarctica, contributing directly to changes in mean sea level. Arctic sea ice is shrinking, altering the heat flux between ocean and atmosphere and driving extreme weather patterns.
Given the importance of understanding these changes and their impact on society, the National Aeronatics and Space Administration (NASA) recently launched a new tool to obtain the most precise measurements yet of ice elevation in the polar regions—down to the width of a pencil. Far above the quiet expanse of the world’s least travelled continent, some of the most advanced scientific instruments ever built are staring down to get a better look.
Measuring a centimeter from 500 kilometers away. NASA’s ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2) was successfully placed into orbit at 6:02 AM on September 15, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The early morning launch was a dazzling display, with the payload carried to space on the venerable Delta II rocket’s final flight.
Ice sheet scientists have measured changes in Greenland and Antarctica using various datasets, including some derived from NASA’s ICESat, GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment), and Operation IceBridge satellite and airborne missions. Each of these efforts represents different technologies, or suites of technologies, all providing polar measurements that tell a similar story: Land-based Ice sheets are losing mass around the coasts, and that ice is going into the ocean, raising sea levels. But a longer time series of data is needed to help scientists determine the rate of change—not just how much ice is going from land into the oceans, but also how quickly.
Focused on changes in the polar regions, ICESat-2 joins a fleet of NASA Earth science satellites making complementary measurements. A group of scientists throughout the United States is analyzing preliminary elevation data measured during the first three months ICESat-2 has been in orbit. The satellite will eventually collect extremely detailed data on elevations across the entire planet, but it has two specific measurement goals that focus on polar ice.
The first ice-specific goal is to measure sub-centimeter-scale changes in the height of ice sheets, which are continent-scale masses of glacial ice limited to the polar regions. This term only refers to Greenland and Antarctica, whose land-based glaciers together hold most of the freshwater on Earth. Combining our knowledge of the surface elevation change of these ice sheets with existing knowledge of the density structure of the glacial ice and the snow that caps it, glaciologist scan assess how changes in ice sheets contribute to mean sea level rise. Changes in sea level directly impact the large populations of people living along coasts—including, as reported in the recent National Climate Assessment, the coastal United States.
The second ice-specific goal is to measure the the floating sea ice pack. Sea ice is the frozen surface of oceans, usually limited to the polar regions. While land-based ice sheets are sourced from snow from our atmosphere, sea ice is frozen sea water that can also be capped by a layer of snow. The freeboard measurement, or measurement of the height of sea ice above the ocean surface, is calculated at the centimeter scale. Along with hydrostatic assumptions and knowledge of the density structure of the sea ice and snow that caps it, a more precise evaluation of the freeboard height will enable detailed assessment of overall changes in sea ice thickness. While changes in sea ice do not directly contribute to sea level rise, they do influence the heat and moisture exchange that occurs between the ocean and the atmosphere, especially in the Arctic. This in turn affects global weather patterns, which impacts the entire planet regardless of proximity to the coast.
Green beams on ice. To perform both of these measurement operations, ICESat-2 carries a single instrument called ATLAS (Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System). ATLAS fires six laser beams at 532-nanometer (i.e. green) wavelengths 10,000 times each second. Of the 20 trillion photons emitted with each pulse, only about a dozen reach the Earth’s surface and reflect back to the satellite’s receiver telescope.Each day, ICESat-2 stores 580 gigabits of data on the round-trip travel of those pulses. Combining this with the location of the satellite and the known pointing angle of the laser, the surface elevation can then be accurately gauged.
Travelling at 4.3 miles per second, the satellite will complete a full orbit in 94 minutes. To obtain the global coverage needed to make the crucial assessment in the polar regions, the satellite has 1,387 unique orbits that travel the Earth’s entire surface once every 91 days. After repeated orbits, ICESat-2 will enable detailed comparisons of elevation assessments and provide glaciologists a sense of seasonal and annual elevation change.
ICESat-2 is the sequel to the first ICESat satellite, which was operational between 2003 and 2009. For my post-doctoral research, I worked with ICESat data to investigate the grounding zone of the Antarctic ice sheet, where the grounded ice detaches from the underlying bedrock and goes afloat as it comes in contact with the southern ocean. These highly sensitive regions of the ice sheet act as a barometer for the overall state of the ice sheet.
Data from ICESat provides glaciologists with a phenomenal tool for ice sheet science, but ICESat-2 is a giant step forward based in part on its along-track data density. ICESat fired a laser shot once every football field and a half of the surface (about 170 m); ICESat-2 will fire a laser shot every two and a half footballs (about 70 cm). Further, ICESat was a single-beam instrument. ICESat-2 is a multibeam instrument providing greater data density.
Bridging the data gap. When data from both satellite missions are combined, ice-sheet researchers will be able to assess longer-term rates of ice sheet change. But there is a nine-year break between the operational period of ICESat (2003 to 2009) and the launch of ICESat-2. This interrupted the collection of data aimed at informing us not only about absolute ice sheet change, but also differences in the rates of change over time.
To bridge this gap between the ICESat and ICESat-2 missions, NASA initiated its largest ever airborne research campaign: Operation IceBridge. For nearly a decade, IceBridge has deployed at least twice each year, targeting dynamic regions of sea ice pack and ice sheets that have been identified as vulnerable by previous missions (including ICESat). The IceBridge instrument suite is flown at relatively low altitudes (about 1,500 feet above the surface) on various aircraft that have been modified for research capabilities. The instrument suite includes laser altimeters that provide information about the surface of the ice, similar to its satellite counterparts. But the IceBridge instrument suite also includes radars that provide information on the subsurface; this capability is currently not possible from a space platform.
The standard spring (Arctic focus) and fall (Antarctic focus) IceBridge airborne campaigns will continue for approximately a year into the ICESat-2 mission, to overlap with the new satellite and to provide contemporaneous data that can be used to affirm the ATLAS laser altimeter data. ICESat-2 has stringent mission goals and requirements with respect to elevation accuracy and precision. While airborne campaigns can collect lots of data for direct comparison with satellite data, airborne elevation data are generally less accurate and less precise than that of ground-based campaigns. To fully understand the accuracy of ICESat-2, both airborne and ground-based elevation data are essential for satellite data validation.
A road(less) trip across Antarctica. The ICESat-2 orbit covers almost all of the globe, reaching 88 degrees north and south of the Equator. This leaves a tiny disk at each pole where no readings can be collected by the laser. On the other hand, the orbits of ICESat-2 all converge along the 88th parallel, and consequently the data is extremely dense. This makes it a great place to assess how the satellite is performing.
To do that, I am currently leading a two-month field campaign in Antarctica with another NASA scientist, a mechanic, and an expedition mountaineer. We will collect ground-based GPS data with centimeter-level accuracy and precision (a typical car or phone has approximately meter-scale accuracy). This GPS data, which includes not only latitude and longitude but also precise elevation, will be used for direct comparison with the observations from the satellite.
The Antarctic ice sheet stretches across 14 million square kilometers. It can be difficult to cover enough ground on a scale adequate for satellite applications. The campaign is relatively large in scope, however, and will collect 300 km of data to validate ICESat-2’s results.
Referred to as the 88S Traverse, this Antarctic project is entering its second season. Last year I led the first traverse, and the data that we collected then was used to evaluate the satellite during its commissioning phase. This year the stakes are higher, as the ground-based data will be collected concurrently with data from the satellite and recent IceBridge flights that surveyed the 88S Traverse route. Tying these ground-based, airborne, and satellite observations together will provide NASA with the best assessments of how ICESat-2 is performing.
We start and end at the South Pole. To get there, you fly via commercial aircraft from the US to Christchurch, New Zealand, and then via military aircraft to finally arrive at South Pole Station. That station is in the center of the ice sheet, and therefore requires transport on aircraft equipped with skis. From the South Pole, the traverse route heads north 220 km to the 88 degrees South line of latitude. The 88S Traverse then traces the 88 degree line of latitude (the important stretch) for 300 km before turning south and heading 220 km back to the South Pole.
The traverse involves four people traveling in two large tracked vehicles (similar to the vehicles that groom ski areas), driving for about 14 days. The tracked vehicles drag 20-meter long sleds that carry all of the equipment required for both science and for “comfortable” living. This includes fuel for the vehicles, a generator to keep the vehicles warm at night, science cargo (such as spare GPS equipment), food, and camping equipment. The sleds are also designed to carry our sleeping and cooking tents fully set up, which cuts down on the time required to set camp every evening. Last season, the ambient temperature was about -20 degrees Celsius for most of the trip, and we fortunately did not experience any major wind events. While this may seem a bit cold for sleeping, I slept like a baby atop four foam pads (and inside a sleeping bag rated to -40 degrees Celsius, which was in turn inside a second down sleeping bag).
The traverse experience is just like a long road trip: You eat a lot of junk food, and you’d better like your travel companions! But unlike driving across the United States, we don’t have the luxury of roads or good maps. Instead, we drive entirely using GPS units, with a series of waypoints, or breadcrumbs, telling us where to go.
One delightful benefit: absolutely no commuter traffic.

A Chinese military reconnaissance plane flew into Korea's air defense identification zone without warning on Tuesday. It flew to an area about 55 km northwest of Ulleung Island before turning back, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff here.
The aircraft came within 33 km of Korean territorial waters. Several Chinese military aircraft have buzzed the Korean ADIZ in recent months, but mostly in areas where the two countries' zones overlap and never so close to Korean territorial waters.
"It seems China was attempting to spy on Korea and the U.S. in preparation for resumption of joint military drills," a government source here said. The Defense Ministry summoned three military attachés of the Chinese Embassy in Seoul to lodge a protest.
The military aircraft entered the zone from southwest of Ieo Island around 9:34 a.m., the JCS said.
It was an Y-9 intelligence gathering aircraft that is capable of monitoring electronic communications. Afterwards, it flew over the Korea Strait, zigzagging across the Korean and Japanese air defense identification zones.
Around 11 a.m., it turned north from waters southeast of Busan and flew back into the Korean zone about 74 km from the coastline and kept going north until it reached waters some 55 km northwest of Ulleung Island.
Korea scrambled around a dozen fighter planes to intercept it. When it came too close to Ulleung Island, the Korean military warned the Chinese aircraft and its home base to stop provocations.
The Korean fighter jets flew just a few hundred meters from the Chinese military aircraft to identify it with the naked eye. The Chinese military claimed it was a routine training flight. The aircraft turned back by the same route around 11:34 a.m. It finally left the zone around 2 p.m.
In the meantime, two Chinese fighter jets were on standby southwest of Ieo Island, according to the JCS. "We speculate that the Chinese military aircraft buzzed the KADIZ to gather intelligence that can have effects on our military operations," a JCS spokesman said.
Air defense identification zones are not territorial airspace but require incoming planes to identify themselves to the country that claims them.

The program aims at producing a technology demonstrator aircraft to explore the various challenges which the radical design entails. The proposed aircraft would be a purely flying wing (an aircraft with no other auxiliary surfaces such as tails, canards or a fuselage) where the wing is swept with one side of the aircraft forward, and one backwards in an asymmetric fashion. The program entails two phases. Phase I will explore the theory and result in a conceptual design, while Phase II will result in the design, manufacture and flight test of an aircraft. The outcome of the program will result in a dataset that can then be used when considering future military aircraft designs.
Flight of the Switchblade is scheduled for 2020 and will cruise with its 61-meter long oblique wing perpendicular... Read More

The project will develop satellite observation methods for waves in ice and other ice properties in the MIZ such as ice concentration, ice types, ice thickness, ice drift and ice edge configuration. Existing and new satellite observing systems, especially SAR, optical and altimeter data, will be utilized for retrieval of waves and ice properties in the MIZ. The project will be exploited operationally using data from future GMES satellites such as Sentinel-1.

When our new friend Jack found this out he organised a day out for us at the airport. What a day. The big kids and I left the marina early and walked to the Classic Flyers Museum. The kids and I spent the morning there and then Jack picked up Liz and Benjamin - after a considerable detour to pick up a car seat for Benjamin - and we enjoyed lunch together at the museum. The CEO of the museum, Andrew, then gave us a private tour of some of the normally closed to the public flyable exhibits including a very rare Messerschmitt Me108.
We then walked down the flight line to Jack's place of employment, Solo Wings, where we had a chance to see their interesting collection of light aircraft including a gyrocopter and a Pipistrel Alpha Trainer. It was really interesting to talk to their Chief Flying Instructor, David, on the advances in light sport aircraft. We later walked over to where the real work happens, the engineering side of the business, to meet the very interesting owner of Solo Wings (who is also a sailor). A brief visit by that point as it was closing time but he patiently answered my many questions and they seem to have done well implementing an integrated logistics and engineering software solution.
Finally, we were in for a really big treat. Jack had set up a visit with the owner of the Aviator Experience. Colin, who is also ex-Airforce, has put together an amazing simulator experience using real seats and physical controls and VR headsets. The flight models are very realistic and many different types of aircraft can be simulated. Although the platform itself is not full motion, there are devices in the seat to give some physical cues. I got to fly a Harrier and a Mirage 2000, Johnathan got to fly L-39 Albatross and Victoria got to fly a Spitfire over Normandy. I could have stayed there for hours ... A great set up and we wish Colin well as he sets up his business. Totally recommend if you are around Tauranga.
Thanks Jack for an amazing day out.

An experimental NASA K9 rover robot recently showed it could carry out tasks similar to those that robots now exploring Mars are doing, but it could complete those jobs more than 10 times faster. During a demonstration in the outdoor 'Marscape' test yard at NASA Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley, operators informed the K9 robot which rocks were interesting. With no further human guidance, the K9 rover - using artificial intelligence -- went to the 'targets' and examined them with a microscopic camera. A control staff of only five researchers was required to conduct the rover demonstration.

Indigo flight makes emergency landing in MumbaiChristian Fernsby ▼ | January 7, 2020
An IndiGo flight yesterday evening declared mayday and landed in Mumbai with full emergency status.
Air incident IndiGo Airbus
Topics: Indigo flight emergency landing Mumbai
Mayday is defined as a distress call made by the pilot to the local air traffic control (ATC) declaring that there is imminent danger to life.
The flight that took off from Bengaluru 50 minutes after its scheduled time of 6.15 pm, was scheduled to land in Mumbai at 8.20 pm.
However, the pilot declared mayday at 8.14 pm when the aircraft was 40Nm or 75km south of Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA).
The pilot later lowered the call and requested the ATC for priority landing. ■

Flight Debuts in the Free Market
Since its inception, the aviation sector has contributed significantly to the global economy. It is seen as an economic cornerstone, particularly when a nation makes investments and streamlines it. Since aviation uses the air to link many locations throughout the world, it mostly deals with international events and tours in contrast to other economic sectors.
Therefore, major worldwide events serve as turning points in aviation history (Havel, 2009). In this essay, the function of aviation between 1975 and 1989 is discussed. The study examines some of the significant global events that occurred during this time in order to do this.
Events in Aviation
Events and mishaps have contributed to the history of flying. In contrast to other accidents, aviation accidents frequently end in fatalities and are caused by human mistake, weather-related issues, and technical issues. Seven people on board a Cessna 150H were killed when an American Air Force Convair T-29D crashed with it on January 9, 1975. (Brady, 2000). The River James received the debris.
After a few days, the military and villagers combined their efforts to rescue the crew’s remains and the debris. Later studies showed that a combination of variables, including a human error and the weather, contributed to the crash (Sparks, 2011). Later, safety measures were created to stop accidents and instances linked to them. Radars were created, among other things, to stop airplane collisions.
The Tupolev Tu-16K11-16 crashed and exploded in Egypt on September 1, 1975, killing numerous crew members. The incident was regarded as one of the country’s Air Force’s longest-lasting emergencies.
While working on the LGM-25C Titan II in Damascus in September 1981, a repairman dropped a socket wrench, which the aircraft rolled and hit the fuel tank. Later, the fuel gas burst, inflicting several injuries. However, no evidence of radioactive contamination was found.
The Civil Aeronautics administrative reforms of 1978 had an impact on the aviation sector as well. Lynn Helms was chosen by President Reagan to lead the FAA after the board was dissolved. The world’s attention was drawn to the 13,000 traffic controllers’ strike in August 1978 because aviation services
Due to the cancellation of all scheduled flights, there was a significant hiccup. There were limitations on flying, and only urgent operations were given clearance. After a period of time, during which the safety of the aircraft was assured, planes were permitted to take to the skies.
Technology development has also changed how aviation services are provided globally. This was based on airplane navigation, which was modified in 1982 with the advent of the global positioning system. This technology has advanced significantly and is currently used extensively in the aviation sector (Moll, 2008).
However, computers have also been used to boost productivity and consolidate the aviation infrastructure into smaller, more manageable facilities.
Despite the widespread use of aviation in society, it is important to note that during the 1970s and 1980s, public interest in the sector began to wane. Because of public outcry over industry noise, certain airports near Santa Monica, California, were forced to close (Moll, 2008). The long-existing corporate planes were banned as a result of this mentality.
It is clear from the description of some of the major moments in the aviation industry’s history that occurred between 1975 and 1989 that these moments had a big impact on the sector. The fact that the majority of these events contributed to the industry’s transformation into what it is now is quite significant.Recommended1 recommendationPublished in Aviation News

According to Dr. Martino, Anthony J., a NASA scientist working on ICESat-2, Chinese ATLAS satellites are more likely to have fired green lasers over Hawaii.
From Hawaii’s highest summit, mysterious green laser beams were noticed late last month. The burst of laser beams was initially attributed by experts to a NASA spacecraft, but this week it was discovered that evidence pointed to a Chinese satellite.
Initially tweeting on January 30, space experts at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) stated that the Subaru-Asahi Star Camera “captured green laser lights over Maunakea, Hawaii, in a cloudy sky. The lights are thought to be from a remote-sensing altimeter satellite ICESAT-2/43613.”
However, a week later, on February 6, NAOJ corrected their statement on YouTube, stating that the “most likely candidate” for the source of the laser beams was a “Chinese Daqi-1/AEMS satellite” rather than a US spacecraft.
“According to Dr. Martino, Anthony J., a NASA scientist working on ICESat-2 ATLAS, it is not by their instrument but by others,” a correction note on the YouTube video explains.
“His colleagues, Dr. Alvaro Ivanoff et al., did a simulation of the trajectory of satellites that have a similar instrument and found a most likely candidate as the ACDL instrument by the Chinese Daqi-1/AEMS satellite.
“We really appreciate their efforts in the identification of the light. We are sorry about our confusion related to this event and its potential impact on the ICESat-2 team.”
Even though the Daqi-1 satellite is purported to be an atmospheric environment monitoring spacecraft, there are many worries about space base and even high-altitude surveillance equipment monitoring the US and allies in the wake of the spy balloon incident last week.

An artificial satellite is a satellite engineered and produced by humans; that is, a man-made body orbiting a larger (not man-made) body in space. Typically, the term "satellite" is used to refer to the multitude of powered but unmanned objects in orbit around the Earth, though the term can equally apply to spacecraft in orbit or artificial satellites in orbit around other planets.
Artificial satellites have discovered many uses in the modern era, including but not limited to: telecommunications, espionage, research, and navigation. These also range in shape and size from microsats, which are by definition less than one meter in diameter (including Sputnik, the first satellite ever launched), to large communications satellites which can be some twenty meters or more in diameter. Typically, however, satellites are classified by weight instead of size, due to the particular constraints of launching objects into various Earth orbits.

EROS satellites wind up 2008 imaging season
13 Ноября 2008
В СМИ (до 2012)
ScanEx’s October archive has been replenished with new data, acquired from the Israeli EROS series satellites operated by ImageSat Int.
Space images of 1.9 m resolution for the towns of Tyrnyauz, Timashevsk (Rostov Region), Kaspiysky (Republic of Kalmykia), Zheleznogorsk-Ilimsky (Irkutsk Region), Romodanovo (Mordovia), Elan (Volgograd Region), Skovorodino (Amur Region), Neftekamsk (Bashkiria) have been acquired from EROS A.
EROS B added more 0.7 m resolution images to the Center’s archive covering seven Russian populated areas: Irkutsk, Ekaterinburg, Kamyshin (Volgograd Region), Darun, Krasnokamensk, Nerchinsk and Pervomaisky (Chita Region). In October, EROS B satellite, enabling to do single pass stereo imaging, delivered images of Ukrainian towns as well: Lvov (central and western parts) and Odessa (southern district).
EROS satellites are closing their 2008 imaging season. EROS B had captured highly detailed images of over 30 Russian and Ukrainian towns from March to November. About 60 large populated areas were covered by EROS A within the same time interval, acquiring space data of Minsk (Belarus), Odessa, Lvov, Kiev, Donetsk (Ukraine), Baku (Azerbaijan), Riga (Latvia), Tallin (Estonia), Vilnius (Lithuania) in addition to Russian inhabited areas.
EROS B satellite is still the only sub-meter resolution program directly downlinking images to a network of ground receiving station in Russia, thus achieving quickest possible execution of customer orders.
One may find EROS satellites images in the catalog of www.kosmosnimki.ru geoportal. New imaging of the Russian and CIS areas of interest can be ordered via the ScanEx’s sales department. Order requests are accepted by telephone +7 (495) 739-7385 or by e-mail: [email protected].

Ariane 5 is moved to the launch zone for this week’s heavy-lift Arianespace mission
Arianespace has delivered another Ariane 5 to the launch zone at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, positioning this workhorse heavy-lift vehicle for liftoff tomorrow with a dual-satellite payload of ABS-2 and Athena-Fidus.
Riding atop its mobile launch table under cloudy skies and light rain, Ariane 5 was transferred to the ELA-3 launch zone from the Spaceport’s Final Assembly Building – where payload integration was performed last week. With the rollout now completed, the final countdown will begin for a February 6 liftoff at the start of a 2-hr., 5-min. launch window opening at 5:30 p.m. local time in French Guiana.
For this 72nd flight of an Ariane 5 to date, the payload lift performance is approximately 10,210 kg. – which includes a combined total of some 9,410 kg. for ABS-2 and Athena-Fidus, plus the launch vehicle’s dual-passenger dispenser system and satellite integration hardware.
ABS-2 – which was produced by SSL (Space Systems/Loral) for global satellite operator ABS – is riding in the upper position of Ariane 5’s payload “stack,” to be released first in the flight sequence at 27 minutes following liftoff. It has a total mass of approximately 6,330 kg., and will provide optimized telecommunications, direct-to-home (DTH) broadcasting, multimedia, and data transmission services for Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
The Athena-Fidus advanced relay platform has a liftoff mass of over 3,000 kg., and it will be deployed from Ariane 5’s lower passenger position 32 minutes into the flight – completing the mission. Thales Alenia Space built the spacecraft on behalf of the French CNES and Italian ASI space agencies, as well as the French DGA and Italian Segredifesa defense ministry organizations. Athena-Fidus is designed to deliver telecommunications services to both armed forces and homeland security units in France and Italy.

Probable Impacts of Space Operations on Air Force Civil Engineeringby John W. Mogge, Jr., Air Force Engineering and Services, Cent, United States,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Engineering, Construction, and Operations in Space II
Abstract: Consider the bridge from today's space programs and systems to tomorrow's space reality. Current space policy is revoluntionary in nature. Selected space related programs such as transportation systems, space control, space weapons and power have potential to effect change. Revolutionary characteristics are present in many of these programs and activities. Support concepts, specifically space logistics, engineering and space facilities, relate to these space programs and have evolutionary and revolutionary potential. Future considerations include an approach for civil engineers to develop their space support missions. The approach has four basic tenets: visualization of space as the basis of global power, focusing attention on the linkages between space policy and technology, acceptance of a bias for action in space, and the normalization of space functions in civil engineering mission areas.

The U.S. military’s mysterious mini-shuttle is off on another top-secret sojourn today after launching Tuesday aboard a powerful Atlas V rocket.
Mounted nose-up on the 19-story United Launch Alliance rocket, the unmanned X-37B spacecraft blasted off as scheduled at 1:03 p.m. from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The exact nature of the ongoing X-37B mission is classified. A public information blackout was put in place 17 minutes and 34 seconds after launch.
Officials with the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, which operates a two-ship X-37B fleet, say the spacecraft are technology demonstrators. But others have speculated the mini-shuttles could be anything from satellite killers to a testbed for satellite sensors or even a space bomber.
Brian Weeden, technical adviser to Secure World Foundation, which promotes peaceful uses of outer space, said the primary mission might be to test advanced radar, hyperspectral or infrared sensors.
“Now it is possible that the X-37B could be using whatever sensors it carries to try to collect intelligence on other satellites,” said Weeden, a former Air Force officer with experience in space and ballistic missile operations.
“But it could be that the X-37B is testing out new sensors, or more advanced sensors than just visible, optical sensors,” he said.
The public information blackout probably will remain in place until the spacecraft is ready for an autonomous atmospheric re-entry and landing. The landing date is now classified, and likely TBD.
The first two X-37B flights culminated at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. But Air Force officials say the ongoing mission might conclude with a landing on the three-mile shuttle runway at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
The Air Force also is thinking about consolidating X-37B launch, landing and turn-around operations on Florida’s Space Coast.
Still no official word on that, but two former shuttle hangars are available for spacecraft processing operations.
The hangars would be more than adequate for the 29-foot-long, solar-powered mini-shuttles, which are equipped with two wings, two tailfins and a payload bay the size of a pick-up truck bed.
The launch Tuesday was the 10th and last this year for United Launch Alliance, a joint venture partnership of Boeing and Lockheed Martin that merges the Atlas V and Delta IV rocket families.
Eight of those launches took place at Cape Canaveral; two at Vandenberg.
Next up for ULA: the planned Jan. 29 launch of an Atlas V rocket with a NASA Tracking and Data Relay System (TDRS) satellite.
The spacecraft enable ground controllers to maintain near constant contact with crews aboard the International Space Station.

Hill AFB to gain 200 jobs, all F-22 maintenance operations
Washington • The U.S. Air Force plans to move all F-22 maintenance operations to Ogden's Hill Air Force Base, potentially creating about 200 long-term jobs in Utah and offering savings of up to $41 million a year to the military.
The Air Force says that merging the jet's repair work, now split between Palmdale, Calif., and Hill's Air Logistics Center in Ogden, would be more efficient and could save $747 million over the lifetime of the F-22 fleet.
"This is one where it made financial sense, as well as structural sense, to have it centered at Hill," said Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, a member of the House Armed Services Committee who represents the area.
"It's a big plus for Hill, and it's good news with all the negative stuff coming from the Department of Defense right now," Bishop added, referring to furloughs of civilian workers due to automatic budget cuts known as sequestration.
Hill already employs 266 workers in sustaining the F-22 fleet and has long pushed for consolidating functions there.
Bishop says that the Lockheed Martin facility in Palmdale will be able to take in other programs, so it's not like Utah won and California lost.
However, the congressman noted that when another round of base closures gets started, the expanded operations at Hill could further prove its essential role to the Defense Department.
"It makes us more viable," Bishop said.

Ukraine: Russian hypersonic missile hits ammunition depot
The confirmation came after Russian defence ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov claimed that the “Kinzhal” — literally, “dagger” — missiles had been used to destroy a subterranean Ukrainian weapons depot on Friday. He told AFP: “The Kinzhal aviation missile system with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles destroyed a large underground warehouse containing missiles and aviation ammunition in the village of Deliatyn in the Ivano-Frankivsk region.” And on Sunday, Russia added that they had also used the hypersonic missiles to destroy a fuel depot near the city of Mykolaiv.
As of yesterday, Ukrainian officials had confirmed the destruction of the weapons depot, although they were unable to provide any more details on the nature of the attack.
The Pentagon, meanwhile, remained initially tight-lipped on whether Kinzhal missiles were used — asking instead why Russia would resort to using weapons designed for long-distance targeting on Ukraine, a neighbour in close proximity.
However, last night saw President Biden relent and provide confirmation, with the speculation that Putin’s forces were resorting to using the advanced missiles because they were having both targeting and supply problems with more conventional precision weapons.
According to ABC News, President Biden told reporters at the Business Roundtable’s CEO Quarterly Meeting in Washington, DC, that Kinzhal missiles were “the only thing that they can get through with absolute certainty”.
He added: “It doesn’t make that much difference, except it’s almost impossible to stop it. There’s a reason they’re using it.”
According to the Arms Control Association, while the US is also developing hypersonic missiles, they are unlikely to have an equivalent system ready until next year at the earliest.
President Biden yesterday confirmed reports that Putin had used hypersonic missiles against Ukraine
Russian defence ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said Kinzhal missiles were used on Friday
First publicly unveiled by Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 1, 2018, the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal air-launched hypersonic missile system — which he called “the ideal weapon” — is said to have a maximum operating range of 1,800 miles.
Prior to the missile’s release, its carrying aircraft accelerates to its maximum possible speed, which in the case of the MiG-31K fighter jet is 1,864 miles per hour.
After disconnecting from the aircraft, the missile fires up its solid-propellant-driven engine and accelerates to some 10–12 times the speed of sound — around 7,670–9,200 mph.
Objects that travel faster than the speed of sound are called “supersonic”, while those that reach in excess of five times the speed of sound are “hypersonic”.
READ MORE: Putin hits Ukraine military targets with hypersonic ‘dagger’ missiles
The MiG-31K fighter jet is reported to be intended as the primary carrier of the Kinzhal missiles
It is believed that the Kinzhal was developed from Russia’s ground-based Iskander-M missile system
At such speeds, the physical properties of the airflow around the object in question begin to change significantly while heat generated as a result of friction and air resistance mandates greater thermal shielding — and this is a big part of what makes hypersonic flight challenging from an engineering perspective.
However, according to TASS, a state-owned Russian news agency, “The Kinzhal missile is capable of manoeuvring at this speed and remaining actually invulnerable to the air defence and anti-ballistic missile systems existing today.”
The sheer speed of such hypersonic missiles is also what makes them better able to penetrate heavily shielded targets — such as, for example, the underground weapons depot that Russia reportedly destroyed this weekend.
It is believed that the Kinzhal was developed by building on the aero-ballistic missile of Russia’s ground-based Iskander-M tactical missile system, which has an operational range of around 311 miles.

Analysts said the introduction of the hypersonic weapons is likely to do little to change the war
Each Kh-47M2 customarily carries a payload of around 1,000 pounds of a high-explosive warhead — however, they can also be armed with a similarly-sized nuclear weapon that explodes with the force of 100,000–500,000 tonnes’ worth of trinitrotoluene (TNT).
According to TASS, Kinzhal missiles have been in deployment as part of “experimental combat duty” since at least December 2017.
In July the following year, for example, a squadron of MiG-31K fighter jets carrying the hypersonic armaments is said to have performed joint tactical flight drills with Tu-22M3 long-range bombers over Russia’s Southern Military District.
While the MiG-31K fighter jet is reported to be intended as the primary carrier of the Kinzhal missiles, it is understood that several can also be loaded into Tu-22M3 bombers.
It is believed that the last week represents the first time that the Kinzhal missile system has been used against Ukraine — and, in fact, outside of Russia itself and in an actual combat situation.
Russian analyst Pavel Felgenhauer told the Guardian that the introduction of the hypersonic weapons to the battlefield in Ukraine is likely to do little to change the situation on the ground.
However, he added, it may give a “certain psychological and propaganda effect” — while simultaneously creating the impression that, perhaps, Russian forces were running out of other weapons.
These sentiments were echoed by Belgian defence expert Joseph Henrontin, who mused on Twitter that Russia may be running low on or having difficulty locally deploying Iskander missiles, or perhaps that Putin was flexing his proverbial muscles by utilising a missile that is known to also be able to carry nuclear warheads.

Thales has been selected by Airbus Helicopters to provide the Kuwait forces with flight and mission training solutions for the pilots and crews of its Caracal helicopters.
Thales will participate in flight and tactical mission training for the pilots and crews of the Caracal helicopters operated by the Kuwait Air Force and National Guard.
Thales will supply three simulators: one Reality H FFMS simulator and two flight procedures and tactical training stations.
Thanks to the interoperability of the two simulator types, the Kuwait forces will be able to network the three systems to perform collective training exercises and prepare their crews for complex missions such as combat search and rescue.
The Kuwait forces has signed a contract for the purchase of 30 multirole Caracal H225M helicopters (24 for the Kuwait Air Force and 6 for the Kuwait National Guard) in order to carry out combat search and rescue duties, transport and ground support missions. To meet the pilots and crews’ hands-on training needs, Thales will supply a Reality H Full Flight Mission Simulator (FFMS) as well as two trainer stations for flight procedures and tactical training.
Thanks to the Reality H Full Flight Mission Simulator, pilots will receive training - in a realistic tactical visual environment - in normal navigation procedures, instrument flight, how to handle failures and emergency procedures, which cannot be easily accomplished on real helicopters. The communication systems, weapons and self-protection systems, as well as the in-flight refueling function, are identical to those of the real helicopter, to ensure pilots are trained as in real-life conditions.
Installed on the ground, the training stations will provide initial training in flight procedures for new pilots, and tactical training for captains and crews. Thanks to the interoperability capacity, the two training stations and the Full Flight Mission Simulator can be networked for collective training exercises and to prepare the crews for complex missions.
This contract also covers the maintenance of the simulators in operational conditions for at least three years.
Thales’ high-fidelity Reality H™ helicopter Full Flight Simulator (FFS) is the most realistic and immersive training systems for maximum training values and mission-readiness for helicopter crews. Thanks to its innovative modeling technologies, Reality H™ benefits from the highest standards of certification, and allows to reach operational efficiency whatever the type of mission (Search and Rescue, Oil & Gas, fire operations, civil security or EMS, etc.).
Thales Reality H features:
- The unique HexalineTM all-electric motion system, which provides the most realistic motion cues to trainees while requiring less power and maintenance
- Large field of view visual display (240°x80°), the globally-recognized ThalesView® Image Generation System
- Computer Generated Forces (CGF) for the intelligent management of virtual animations
- Efficient and user-friendly Instructor Operating System (IOS), including flexible scenario creation tool
- Sound generation system
- Remote IOS control (tablet)
The Reality H FFS has also been approved for training with Night Vision Goggles.
The Thales FFS delivers the best realism and training values, allowing to simulate complex civil mission’s scenarios. The Reality HTM provides a completely immersive training environment that mimics real operational conditions to support helicopter operators’ key priorities of safety and mission success.

Voyager 1 and 2 launched in 1977 a few weeks apart, taking advantage of a 176-year planetary alignment to take a grand tour of all four giant outer planets – Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter. The spacecraft missions have continued decades after those final planet flybys, eventually entering interstellar space.
Voyager 1 is more than 15.1 billion miles from Earth, and in mid-November, the spacecraft began sending back nonsense computer code instead of science data.
"It looked like it was just sending back what was the equivalent of just a single tone, you could think about, like a dial tone," Voyager Program scientist Linda Spilker said. "It had gone from sending back useful information, all those ones and zeros turning into data, to now just sort of being stuck sort of in a repetitive loop of ones and zeros and no longer basically communicating with us."
NASA engineers have honed in on one of three computers on the spacecraft, known as the Flight Data System (FDS), as the cause behind the communication problem. The FDS is returning unusable data from the telemetry modulation unit (TMU).
"Its role is to basically collect all of the data from the science instruments and the spacecraft, package them all neatly up and send them back to the Earth," Spilker said of the FDS.
These two systems work in tandem to get science and engineering data back to Earth from 15 billion miles away.
Troubleshooting an issue with a spacecraft traveling through interstellar space is complicated. It takes about 22.5 hours for a message from Earth to reach the spacecraft and another 22.5 hours for a response back to Earth. The Voyagers were also constructed before the digital age.
Spilker said this combination makes the problem-solving effort multifaceted. Circuit diagrams for the FDS computer are posted in a room at JPL covered with sticky notes as engineers search through paper notes and contact retired Voyager engineers.
A NASA image of one of the Voyager space probes. Voyager 1 and its identical sister craft Voyager 2 were launched in 1977 to study the outer Solar System and eventually interstellar space.
About once a week, Spilker said a team of engineers "sit down and think about what we can try next." After carefully creating and checking the plan, a command or a "poke" is sent to Voyager in hopes of fixing the corrupted section of the computer. Then, they wait two days to find out if it worked.
"The waiting in between is hard. That's for sure," Spilker said.
On Wednesday, NASA shared hopeful news that the Voyager team saw different activity on one section of the FDS but still not in the correct format. However, an engineer with NASA's Deep Space Network – a network of radio antennas to communicate with Voyagers and other spacecraft – was able to decode the signal and discovered a readout of the entire FDS memory.
This could be the breadcrumb Voyager's engineering team needs to get the spacecraft to speak the correct language again.
"The FDS memory includes its code, or instructions for what to do, as well as variables, or values used in the code that can change based on commands or the spacecraft’s status. It also contains science or engineering data for downlink," NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory wrote in a blog post. "The team will compare this readout to the one that came down before the issue arose and look for discrepancies in the code and the variables to potentially find the source of the ongoing issue."
This isn’t the first scare for either spacecraft. Another issue with garbled data for Voyager 1 in 2022 was fixed over several months. In 1981, the team experienced a similar communication issue to the current problem.
Last year, an incorrect command sent Voyager 2 pointing away from Earth, unable to send back data. Teams were able to send a patch and reorient the spacecraft.
Spilker and the rest of the Voyager team are used to bumps on this long road. However, it's worth it because the twin interstellar explorers are still collecting valuable data.
Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause 11 years ago, and what it continues to send back is reshaping what scientists know about the interstellar medium. Eventually, future spacecraft missions traveling even farther from the Sun's influence will benefit from lessons learned from the Voyager missions.
"It's just really an amazing story to think that two spacecraft are still operating after 46 years and having basically flown through the outer solar system … the entire heliosphere, across the heliopause, now on out into interstellar space," Spilker said.
With the latest clue in this case, Voyager engineers are devising their next plan of action to help the spacecraft start sending back data from 15 billion miles from Earth.

Despite all these setbacks, we can observe that Gabriel Nderitu has already started working on what is termed an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
Gabriel Nderitu is a Kenyan researcher who has manufactured about 11 small aircraft. On October 2, 2013 he tried to fly one of his remote-controlled aircraft, as well as a manually controlled one. Unfortunately, none of the planes took off.
Regarding the remote-controlled aircraft, the positive side of the test is that the plane did accelerate. In other words, from the remote control, the inventor did give speed to the plane that then crashed on two poles. In 2012, however, the remote-controlled aircraft did actually take off but crashed on a tree.

The C919 large passenger plane, designed by Chinese researchers, has successfully conducted flight tests in low temperature conditions in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, in northern China, announced by local authorities.
The tests conducted to determine whether the performance of the system and aircraft equipment would be appropriate at very low temperatures were carried out in Hulunbuir, where the lowest test temperature was minus 20 degrees Celsius for 40 days.
The reason why Hulunbuir was chosen for the trial flights was the average temperature of minus 25 degrees in the winter of this city, known for its cold weather. The C919, China's first indigenously designed long-line aircraft, has an autonomous flight range of 158 thousand 174 to 4 thousand 75 kilometers with a capacity of 5 to 555 passengers. The plane, which came off the production line in 2015, successfully made its first flight in 2017. The aircraft will be put into service this year after obtaining a flight license to be issued by aviation authorities.

Got on a 18 seater at Auckland flying to the top end of the north island....pilot said "there's some storms around, we'll have an extra 25 minutes flight time"....It was caning down as we got on the plane and it was like you could feel the extra force of the rain as the plane took off....it was rough the whole way in every direction, up ,down, sideways....I checked the time figuring we must have been nearly there, and sure enough it was about 5 minutes short of the ETA, "we're just over the KeriKeri airport now" .....I look out the window and see the strip lights as we go into a bank......then everything went weightless for maybe four or five seconds followed by what felt like 2 or maybe 3 g.....everyone on board was very very quiet. We caught a cab out to the airport the next morning to collect a hire car...the guy at the counter said "when did you come in?" ......"On the nine o'clock flight last night"......he said , almost under his breath without looking at us..."I heard it was an interesting flight ".......momec3 wrote:Did a landing at Melb on Qantas about a month back. Landing from the south and I was watching the buses on the Tulla freeway beside me and could see the faces on the people in the buses.
The plane then hangs the tail down real low and I thought this is odd, obviously trying to scrub off speed like a bird landing
Then it drops suddenly and what seemed like a long way considering our altitude. Similtaniously the pilot points the nose in the air and hits the gas and heads nearly straight up. Could of heard a pin drop and everyone was holding their breath. Then the pilot comes on and says we suffered wind shear.
We eventually landed after a third attempt and the pilot shook ever passengers hand as we got off.
Landed at Berlin on Ryan Air once, we bounced a really ,really long way after hitting heavier than I've ever felt....as we got off I said to the hostie" did we land or did we crash?" they didn't even respond, I think they were just as freaked as us .

Researchers have tested a small prototype of a nuclear-reactor engine design that could one day power deep-space exploration probes.
The proposed design is based on a Stirling engine – an engine first invented in the 19th century that uses hot pressurized gas to push a piston. It would use a 50-pound nuclear uranium battery to generate heat that is then carried to eight Stirling engines to produce about 500 watts of power.
Scientists at NASA’s Glenn Research Center and Los Alamos National Laboratory have tested a pared-down prototype of this design using a small nuclear source and a single Stirling engine that produced about 24 watts of energy. Most deep-space probes require about 600 to 700 watts of power, so it will still be a while before this early test produces something capable of powering a spacecraft. This is the first test of a nuclear reactor system to power a spacecraft conducted in the U.S. since 1965.
Nuclear engines are important because they make possible exploration of the entire solar system. Beyond Mars, sunlight is so weak that solar panels would have to be football-field-sized in order to eke out enough power to run a spacecraft and transmit data back to Earth.

I know we've all been stuck inside for a while but can we please check the chaos at the door when we're flying? Thanks.
A passenger onboard a flight that had just landed in Miami did not want to wait for everyone to orderly exit the plane. While the aircraft was still taxiing to the gate, he used the emergency exit to climb out on to the wing.
Officials say that he told police "he wasn't feeling well."
Needless to say, he was detained and taken to the hospital.

New Delhi: The US always felt India had no reason to pursue a missile programme with a range beyond 5,500 km because it would be enough to target China and anything more than that would be useless, according to a declassified 1990 CIA document.
The US assessment is borne out by India not yet deciding to go ahead with a missile beyond 5,000-km range of Agni V that was test fired recently even as reports suggest that a version of Agni V with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Warheads (MIRV) is being developed.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the partially declassified top secret intelligence assessment dated June 1, 1990, on the “Ballistic Missiles in India and Pakistan” said: “We see little benefit to India of developing ICBM-class (more than 5,500 km range) missile. A missile with considerable less range would be able to strike any target in China.”
Any Indian ballistic missile with beyond 6,000 km range would be able to reach parts of Europe — a target India never considered in its strategic defence programmes.
Most of the report has not been declassified.
Talking about Pakistan`s ballistic missiles, the report says: “Both Hatf (I-II) are flawed by the lack of a guidance system and, hence, have very poor accuracy… Pakistan is attempting to obtain Scud missiles technology from North Korea and is developing LD – a probably longer range system.”
“Pakistani officials have also been in contact with representatives of the European consortium that supervised the development of the 750-1,000 km range Condor II in Argentina. Production of the Condor II or another missile with a range longer than the Hatf II is likely in Pakistan by the mid-to-late 1990s.”
The report clearly shows the US did not make any serious effort in restricting Pakistan from violating the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). Pakistan went on to develop Shaheen III with range beyond 2,500 km.
India, on June 27, 2016, became 35th full member of the MTCR — an informal and voluntary partnership among 35 countries, which prevent proliferation of missile technology over more than 300 km.

I read Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” but I don’t remember ever actually seeing the picture.
The photo above was taken by Voyager 1 in 1990 as it sailed away from Earth, more than 4 billion miles in the distance. Having completed it primary mission, Voyager at that time was on its way out of the Solar System, on a trajectory of approximately 32 degrees above the plane of the Solar System. Ground Control issued a command for the distant space craft to turn around and, looking back, take photos of each of the planets it had visited. From Voyager’s vast distance, the Earth was captured as a infinitesimal point of light (between the two white tick marks), actually smaller than a single pixel of the photo.

Luna 25 crashes: Russian space agency announced on Sunday that an initial analysis of the moon lander indicates that a difference between the planned and actual propulsion maneuver caused the spacecraft to move into an unintended orbit. This ultimately led to the spacecraft colliding with the moon’s surface and being lost.
Russia’s ambitious lunar mission, the Luna-25, has ended in failure as the spacecraft spun out of control and ultimately crashed into the surface of the Moon. This marks a disappointing end to Russia’s first moon mission in nearly half a century, as the country’s state space corporation, Roskosmos, announced the tragic incident.
The lunar south pole is a highly coveted target among space-faring nations, including the US and China. India’s Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is orbiting the moon and will likely attempt a landing near the pole this week.
As per ISRO, Chandrayaan-3 is set to land on the moon on August 23, 2023, around 18:04 Hrs. IST.

If you’re new to the aviation industry, especially as an aircraft maintenance technician (AMT), you’re bound to hear a lot of new acronyms. While you may already know some of them, one you might not is FOD. FOD is a constant struggle for both airports and the AMTs that work at them. So, what is FOD and what can we do about it?
What is FOD?
FOD is one of the biggest reasons for airplane repairs. Additionally, there are actually two things FOD can stand for. The first one is foreign object debris. Foreign object debris can include any object or item that ends up anywhere it shouldn’t be and therefore it could cause damage to equipment or individuals. FOD of this type can be almost anything. Common foreign object debris can include but is not limited to:
- Employee ID badges
- Screws, nuts, bolts
- Cell Phones
- Birds and other wildlife
- Volcanic ash cloud
- Hail or snow
- Rags or towels
- Broken pavement
- Soda cans
When any of these objects causes damage to the engine or other parts of the aircraft, then it is considered the other type of FOD: foreign object damage. Best case scenario, the damage is only a dent to the exterior of the plane. Worst case scenario, the object ends up in the engine causing it to malfunction mid-flight. Not only can debris cause damage to aircraft, but jet engines also create a blast that throws debris everywhere upon take off. This could create a dangerous situation to personnel on the ground who could potentially be hit by stone, tools, tire fragments, etc.
The term “FOD” is mainly used in the aviation and aerospace industries. However, it can be used in any industry where quality and safety are a concern.
How to detect FOD
There are many ways to detect foreign object debris. When it comes to checking for larger pieces of FOD, visual inspections are done of the work areas, runways, and anywhere else the plane may be. Newer types of detection include using cameras, infrared technology, and radar to scan the area for debris. These systems can also help detect wildlife.
However, visual inspections and these technologies aren’t always the best choice when detecting smaller objects. To detect smaller debris, sweepers are used. They can quickly and easily sweep runways and hangars. Although not all foreign object debris is magnetic, magnet bars can also be used in the detection of debris. The FAA
How to prevent FOD
Although there are so many ways to detect FOD, what if it was preventable in the first place? One way to help prevent FOD is to make a checklist for every time you perform maintenance on an aircraft. A checklist will help put you in the habit of checking for various types of FOD throughout your workday.
Before starting a job, visually check your work area or the hangar itself for any debris or objects that shouldn’t be there. While you work, keep all tools in a localized area or on a mat. Every so often, take a moment to visually assess your tool area, making sure nothing is missing. After you complete the job, assess your tool area again. It is also a good idea to perform a walk around of the entire area around your workspace.
Unfortunately, FOD isn’t always preventable. One of the most well-known FOD incidents was the “Miracle on the Hudson” in 2009. Shortly after take-off out of LaGuardia Airport, US Airways Flight 1549 was struck by a flock of birds. The airplane lost all engine power and was forced to make an emergency landing in the Hudson River. Luckily, all 155 people on board were able to be rescued safely with only a few serious injuries.
Whether preventable or not, FOD has always been and will continue to be something the aviation industry struggles with. If you’d like to learn more about what it’s like to be an AMT performing repairs from FOD and regular maintenance on aircraft, contact NCI today!

You should check your European flights over the next few days if they involve the Norwegian or SAS in Copenhagen.
Norwegian pilots are after collective bargaining agreement across all pilot bases in Europe and SAS Copenhagen cabin crew is protesting moving some of them to work at a lower pay to a subsidiary airline that SAS acquired last year.
Here’s an excerpt from Reuters about the Norwegian strike:
The strike will initially involve 70 pilots, but could be sharply escalated to 650 pilots on a short notice if there is no deal reached over a collective agreement and work conditions, it added on its website.
Norwegian NTB news agency reported that the strike could be escalated from Wednesday.
“Norwegian’s goal is to operate all flights on Saturday and Sunday as planned, as only a limited number of pilots are on strike this weekend,” the airline said in a statement.
It said it was ready to involve pilots currently working in administrative roles and pilots from its subsidiaries to make sure that only a limited number of passengers is affected.
Here’s an excerpt from ABC News about the SAS Copenhagen cabin crew strike:
Scandinavian Airlines says some 30 flights out of Copenhagen have been canceled after members of a Danish cabin crew union walked out to protest the carrier’s plan to move 147 employees to a domestic airline that SAS acquired last year.
Group spokeswoman Trine Kromann-Mikkelsen says the strike was “illegal,” adding SAS canceled 60 flights Friday when the walkout started.
Kromann-Mikkelsen could not immediately confirm that dozens of SAS-operated flights to Copenhagen also were canceled Saturday.
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the Norwegian Air Shuttle that tries to open a subsidiary in Dublin that would allow it to operate transatlantic flights using cabin & cockpit crew based in Bangkok (read lower pay).
SAS is trying to move part of it cabin crew to its subsidiary that has lower pay and where SAS bargaining agreements wouldn’t apply.
Remember that both airlines are required to rebook you on other airlines and provide care in case of disruptions due to these strike per EC 261/2004 legislation.

The launch of the European Robotic Arm to the International Space Station (ISS) is imminent. Last Monday ERA, developed and built in the Netherlands, was presented to the Dutch media. Around forty people attended the corona proof event at ESA's ESTEC technical centre in Noordwijk, including outgoing State Secretary Mona Keijzer and astronaut André Kuipers. NSO director Harm van de Wetering is happy that the launch is now actually going to happen: 'ERA is a fantastic piece of Dutch high-tech that so many people have worked on with pride. It is extremely important and pleasant that we can now also disseminate this widely'.
According to outgoing State Secretary Mona Keijzer of Economic Affairs, the launch - now scheduled for 21 July - is a milestone for both European and Dutch space industry. The ISS is an extension of our science. It is also an icon of innovation and international cooperation. There is still a lot to learn and discover, which is why we continue to invest in space worldwide, in a European context and therefore also in the Netherlands.
Keijzer addressed in particular the hundreds of people who have contributed to the project over the past 25 years: 'I want to pay you a big compliment for your patience, your perseverance and your cooperation. I am proud of such a strong chain of engineers, developers, policy makers and other indispensable professionals.
Astronaut André Kuipers already took an ERA model into space during his first space flight in 2004. He is pleased that the robotic arm will now actually be attached to the space station. My colleagues Thomas Pesquet, Matthias Maurer and Samantha Cristoforetti will be the first European astronauts to carry out important tasks with the robotic arm. I am sure that ERA will be a great success for them and for all astronauts on board.
Pesquet will check ERA technically, shortly after the launch. Maurer will do the official commissioning and Cristoforetti will use ERA to attach an airlock for scientific experiments to Nauka. The robotic arm will then inspect the exterior of the Russian part of the space station and move scientific experiments from the inside to the outside and back again, without astronauts having to perform a risky spacewalk.
'We are very pleased that ESA astronauts will be working with this largely Dutch robotic arm in the near future,' said Philippe Schoonejans, who is in charge of the ERA project at ESA. We don't just want to deliver the robot arm, we want to use it to gain knowledge and experience in the field of robotics. After all, we will need this during future trips to the moon and Mars.
Sytze Kampen, ERA project manager at the main contractor Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands, explained the challenges ERA faces in space, especially in terms of safety. It is an arm full of safety measures. But thanks to a lot of automation it can accomplish very complex missions with relatively simple commands.
State Secretary Keijzer experienced how this works in the Telerobotics & Haptics laboratory, where ERA components are set up for training purposes. Using the specially developed operating system, she gave a command, after which the 'wrist' of the robot arm started to turn. In a similar way, astronauts will work with the arm from the space station.
Keijzer was clearly enthusiastic about the ERA mission, which is important for the Netherlands: 'In about two weeks, the time will finally come to launch from Bajkonur in Kazakhstan. I cannot wait. I have every confidence and wishes you all much success with this, well, mindblowing mission.

Virgin Galactic, billionaire Richard Branson’s space travel venture, plans to order five more spaceships and aims to turn a profit in five years from its commercial launch in 2010, an official told Reuters on Thursday.
Prospective space travellers have so far placed deposits totalling more than $31-million for tickets that cost $200 000 each and would give them five minutes in space, said Alex Tai, the firm’s group director.
“In the short term, we have firm orders for five spaceships and options for seven ... We believe there is a very strong market,” Tai said in an interview at the Singapore Airshow.
About 80 000 people from 120 countries have shown interest in these commercial space flights that are likely to start in 2010.
Seriously interested travellers are asked to deposit at least $20 000, according to Virgin Galactic’s website.
“It’s silly to divide the $200 000 by that five minutes.
He declined to give the cost of each craft or the maker, though some parts will come from Pratt & Whitney, the jet engine unit of United Technologies.
Asked when the company would become profitable, Tai said: “I imagine it will be inside the first five years.”
Virgin’s SpaceShipTwo, unveiled last month and to be tested later this year, will be able to carry eight people into sub-orbital space. Virgin aims to start with one flight a week before ramping it up to 14 flights a week, Tai said.
For $200 000, Virgin will prepare space travellers over three days for their two-hour flight beyond Earth’s atmosphere that will culminate in five minutes in space. The three-day programme will include simulating a zero-gravity environment, showing travellers what it means to accelerate and decelerate quickly, as well as what the Earth looks like from space, Tai said.
The spaceship will initially be launched from Mojave, California, but will eventually take off from a space port in New Mexico.
Virgin Galactic is one of several high-profile contenders in the new commercial space race.
Others include Astrium, the space arm of European aerospace firm Eads, Blue Origin, started by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), created by PayPal founder Elon Musk, and Bigelow Aerospace, a venture aimed at creating space hotels, started by hotelier Robert Bigelow.
The leader in the budding sector is Virginia-based Space Adventures, which started the space tourism phenomenon in 2001 when it put US businessman Dennis Tito on a Russian Soyuz craft for a reported $20-million. - Reuters

In an audio recording released by the Door County Sheriff's Department, 80-year-old Helen Collins sounds calm as she performs an emergency landing of a small plane after her husband dies at the controls.
STURGEON BAY, WISCONSIN, UNITED STATES (APRIL 2, 2012) (DOOR COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HANDOUT) - An 80-year-old woman with very little flight experience maintained her composure as she took over flight controls after her pilot husband's fatal collapse, landing their twin-engine plane as it was running out of gas on Monday (April 2).
In an audio recording released by the Door County Sheriff's Department, Helen Collins calmly discussed the runway location and her low fuel level before her attempt to land the plane.
"You better get me in it pretty soon. I don't know how long I'm going to have gas," Collins said.
Helen Collins and her husband, John, were both taken to the hospital. He was pronounced dead, while she was held for observation, local officials in Wisconsin said.
The couple had flown their twin-engine Cessna from Georgia to their home in Sturgeon Bay, in northeast Wisconsin, before the pilot was stricken.
Helen Collins took the controls and radioed the airport and was told to circle while a local pilot was called for help. The pilot, Robert Vuksanovic, took off in his own plane to guide her down.
After two failed passes, Collins radioed that one of her engines was sputtering and losing power as her gas supply dwindled. She landed hard on the third try, collapsing the nose gear, but skidding to a stop with the plane intact.

Quadruple Saturn Moon Transit Snapped by Hubble
Saturn's comparatively paper-thin rings are tilted edge on to Earth every 15 years. Because the orbits of Saturn's major satellites are in the ring plane, too, this alignment gives astronomers a rare opportunity to capture a truly spectacular parade of celestial bodies crossing the face of Saturn. Leading the parade is Saturn's giant moon Titan - larger than the planet Mercury. The frigid moon's thick nitrogen atmosphere is tinted orange with the smoggy byproducts of sunlight interacting with methane and nitrogen. Several of the much smaller icy moons that are closer in to the planet line up along the upper edge of the rings. Hubble's exquisite sharpness also reveals Saturn's banded cloud structure.

Flights of Inspiration
Flying is something we can't do naturally, although I'm sure most of us wish we could. Here are a few people who have made a difference in history when it comes to getting us airborne. The first flight, the longest flight and the longest solo trip are all significant events in the history of aviation.
Wright Brothers - First Flight
In 1878, flight was only a dream. Airplanes and helicopters hadn't been invented yet but seven year-old Orville Wright and his 11 year-old brother Wilbur had a dream. They began building and testing a machine that could fly people. They were the first to understand flight. On December 17, 1903 Orville piloted the first flight. It lasted only 12 seconds - but it worked! They managed four flights that day and the final one lasted 57 seconds. On December 17th, the Wright brothers became the first people to fly a machine, heavier than a hot air balloon, under the complete controls of a pilot.
John and Arthur - Longest Flight
John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown were the first people to fly in an aircraft, non-stop, across the Atlantic Ocean. On June 14, 1919, both British fliers climbed into Vickers Vimy (the plane) and took off from Lester's field in Newfoundland - John was the pilot and Arthur was the navigator. They landed in Clifden, Ireland 16 hours and 27 minutes later. When they returned to London, they were greeted like heroes. They were given Lord Northcliffe's Daily Mail prize (10,000 pounds or about $14,286 US) by Winston Churchill, who was Britain's Secretary of State at the time. A few days later, John and Arthur were knighted at Buckingham Palace by King George V for their achievement.
Amelia Earheart - Solo, Female Flight
In 1928 (when she was 31,) Amelia became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic - except she was only a passenger. Four years later, she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. She also set a record by doing it in only 13.5 hours. She made the first flight from Hawaii to California alone only a few years later. In 1937, Amelia and navigator Fred Noonan, made an attempt to fly around the world. They had gone two-thirds of the way around when they disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. To this day, no one knows what happened to them.

JHE42B_S Finder 5V Super Loud Buzzer Tracker 110dB Built-in Battery for Flight Controller RC drone.
Don't be that guy to end up going home with just your goggles and controller!!
- Item name: JHE42B_S Finder
- Size: 18*17*15MM
- Weight: 4.3 g
- Built-in battery: 75mah
- Working time: 1 hour
The buzzer has two modes of operation:
1. It is compatible with the functions of the traditional active buzzer and synchronised with the flight control.
2. When the flight control is normally connected, if the main battery in the flight is powered off, it can still automatically emit 110 dB of drip sound after 30 seconds of power failure, and the LED will emit white light, and the sound is louder than the general buzzer. Much bigger.
How to turn off the buzzer:
Press and hold the release button for more than 2 seconds, the JHE42B_S Finder turns off the sound.
The JHE42B_S Finder is compatible with all BF and CF flight controls. Just connect to the buzzer interface of the flight controller and it will work. When the flight control wiring is correct, the multi-rotor aircraft is powered on, and the flight control power supply will automatically charge the JHE42B_S Finder (the red LED will light to indicate that charging is in progress, Red LED off means charging is saturated; red light flashing means flight controller is powered off, wait 30 seconds waiting time).
- 1 x JHE42B_S Finder
- 1 x 3PIN JST Cable
We also sell a Matek and JHE20B buzzer.

Tracking across the flat, dust-covered Amazonis Planitia in 2012, the core of this whirling dust devil is about 140 meters in diameter. Lofting dust into the thin martian atmosphere, its plume reaches about 20 kilometers above the surface.
Common to this region of Mars, dust devils occur as the surface is heated by the Sun, generating warm, rising air currents that begin to rotate. Tangential wind speeds of up to 110 kilometers per hour are reported for dust devils in other HiRISE images.

Privacy, comfort and luxury are not words readily associated with budget airlines. But Ryanair hopes to change all that with its new corporate jet hire service, which offers customised aircraft for private charter.
The recently-launched scheme involves revamped Boeing 737-700 jets, which seat 60 passengers in reclining, leather, 48-inch business-class seats. There’s also a range of fine-dining catering facilities on offer.
The planes can be hired by the hour, with rates described as “competitive” by the airline.
“More than 25 million business travellers fly with Ryanair every year, choosing our low fares, unbeatable on-time performance, and Europe’s largest route network, along with the benefits of our Business Plus service,” said spokesman Robin Kiely. “Now, business and group travellers can also enjoy the benefits of Ryanair’s corporate jet service, as we offer a customised Boeing 737-700 for private charter.”

SpaceX To Launch From NASA Complex 39A On Feb. 18 To Resupply The ISS [Video]
SpaceX is all go for a launch scheduled on February 18, its 10th resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
The announcement was made by SpaceX via Twitter, citing that the launch will be made from the NASA's historic LC-39A Kennedy Space Center, a first for SpaceX to launch from the site. The launch pad hosted many famous mission launches, including the Apollo 11, since it was built in the 1960s. The launch pad was leased by SpaceX from NASA since 2014, according to Space.com.
— SpaceX (@SpaceX) February 8, 2017
The liftoff of a Falcon 9 rocket along with an unmanned Dragon capsule carrying ISS supplies is expected just before 10 a.m. ET. The Dragon capsule will be filled with tons of supplies and equipment for the ISS that include a new instrument that will study the ozone layer from the ISS's point-of-view. SpaceX has reportedly retrofitted the pad to suit its Falcon 9 and future Falcon Heavy rockets.
The Dragon capsule will also carry with it an experiment to be monitored in a sealed environment, MRSA, a superbug. The experiment aims to investigate how the bacterium grows and mutates in a zero gravity environment.
It will also carry in its payload another experiment to grow and study antibody crystals, and a tech demonstration called "three-eyed" Raven aiming to gather data to be used in future autonomous rendezvous missions involving satellites and spacecraft. Additionally, it will also bring Earth-monitoring equipment, to sense lightning and gasses in Earth's stratosphere.
Meanwhile, seemingly back on track, SpaceX plans to make launches, sending up a rocket every two to three weeks starting later this month, according to Slash Gear. SpaceX has been tapped to shuttle astronauts to the ISS beginning late 2018.
Ahead of which, SpaceX will test the company's planned space taxi after it redesigns the turbopump in its rockets, addressing the cracking issue that has placed serious concern for NASA and the U.S. Air Force. The video below is of a similar launch by SpaceX to the ISS on Jul. 18, 2016.

The unit 3 (short: A3 rocket) was a German test rocket , with the help of which important components for the planned unit 4 were to be tested. She was 6.74 meters long, had a diameter of 0.68 meters and had a takeoff weight of 900 kilograms. Its engine , which was operated with alcohol and liquid oxygen conveyed by compressed gas , developed a thrust of 15 kN .
On December 4th, 6th, 8th and 11th 1937 take-off attempts were made with the A3 on the Greifswalder Oie , all of which failed because the shape used did not permit stable flight.
Since a model for testing various components was required for the development of the A4 rocket, another test rocket with the same engine was developed with the unit 5 .

A recent evaluation of a distantly dangerous asteroid brings excellent news: it is even much less of a menace than astronomers had feared.
The probabilities of an asteroid dubbed 1950 DA crashing into Earth have been all the time tiny and lengthy sooner or later: As of 2015, scientists had calculated that the thing had a 1 in 8,000 likelihood of impacting Earth within the 12 months 2880. However a brand new evaluation launched on Tuesday (March 29) knocks the asteroid out of the highest spot of NASA’s listing of recognized asteroids which can be most probably hazardous to Earth.
“1950 DA mustn’t be of any concern,” Davide Farnocchia, a navigation engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, informed House.com in an e-mail. “Reasonably, I would say that it’s encouraging that we are able to establish the distant chance of an impression for this object greater than 800 years prematurely.”
Associated: If an asteroid actually threatened the Earth, what would a planetary protection mission appear to be?
The house rock is 0.8 miles extensive (1.3 kilometers), and scientists have a reasonably good concept of its form, due to observations by the the now-defunct Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Modeling beforehand recommended the asteroid is extra rubble than rock, which might defuse any doable impression.
Fortuitously, the brand new evaluation says the asteroid poses even much less danger than beforehand believed. “The likelihood of impression is tiny, 1 in 30,000,” Farnocchia wrote of the asteroid, a considerable enchancment from the earlier odds. “However even within the most unlikely case that 1950 DA have been on an impression trajectory, the doable impression is in 2880 and that gives loads of time for mitigation,” he added.
NASA’s mandate consists of searching for out and monitoring asteroids like 1950 DA via companion telescopes and house observations, coordinated via the company’s Planetary Protection Coordination Workplace. There are not any impending threats to fret about now, however NASA periodically revisits outdated assessments to verify they’re correct.
In January, the company upgraded its Sentry system for inspecting asteroid danger. Among the many notable modifications have been higher predictions for the Yarkovsky impact, or alterations to an asteroid’s path in house as a consequence of heating from the solar.
The impact has a very sturdy affect on the orbit of 1950 DA, and for years, NASA had been calculating asteroid trajectories utilizing a 2002 program known as Sentry that could not issue within the Yarkovsky impact.
As an alternative, Farnocchia and his colleagues must simulate numerous eventualities in what he known as “a considerably brute pressure strategy.” Then, the scientists needed to analyze the outcomes on to establish doable impacts and possibilities.
So when scientists bought new observations of 1950 DA, they did not trouble re-running the impression dangers.
Nonetheless, the brand new system, known as Sentry-II, can account for the Yarkovsky impact, permitting it to routinely calculate impression dangers with out all the additional work, so 1950 DA bought its first new evaluation since 2015. The brand new evaluation with Sentry-II solely took a number of hours, and was processed routinely, and will likely be repeated extra frequently.
The decrease danger evaluation moved 2015 DA to second place on NASA’s watch-list. Now within the high spot goes to Bennu, the asteroid that NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission sampled in October 2020. The spacecraft will ship its samples to 2023, giving scientists an in depth have a look at the rock and, not coincidentally, serving to them assess whether or not the asteroid poses any menace for a window opening within the 12 months 2178.

FILE – In this file photo taken on Wednesday, September 30, 2020, a Boeing 737 Max jet piloted Steve Dickson of the Federal Aviation Administration prepares to land after a Seattle test flight at Boeing Field. Boeing announced Thursday, April 13 2023 that the production and delivery of an 'important number' of its Boeing 737 Max aircraft could be delayed due to questions regarding a supplier's fuselage work.
Boeing's production problems have caused a setback, and airlines will not be able to accommodate the large number of passengers expected this summer.
David Calhoun, CEO of Boeing, said on Tuesday that inspections and repair work related to non-approved fuselage components will prevent the company delivering dozens 737 Max jetliners in time for summer. He said that the inspections and repairs related to unapproved fuselage parts will prevent the company from delivering dozens of 737 Max jetliners to airlines in time for the summer season.
Calhoun stated during Boeing's annual shareholders meeting that the delays in delivery will take away 9,000 seats this summer from airline schedules.
The CEO did not give the number used to calculate the delivery date, but based on the typical number of seats in a Max mid-size plane, it is expected that 50 planes will be late.
Last year, Boeing was unable to deliver larger 787 planes due to production problems, and some airlines canceled flights and routes.
Boeing wants to increase production of Max planes, which were halted at the end of 2019 following two crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia in which 346 people died. The production rate has not yet recovered to its pre-crash levels.
Boeing revealed last week that Spirit AeroSystems, a subcontractor, used a "non-standard process" on fittings at the point where the tail attaches to the fuselage for most Max jets manufactured since 2019. Boeing stated that this issue could lead to delays in the production and delivery of a "significant number" of Max jets.
Calhoun reiterated the company's position, that the fittings don't pose a safety concern for planes carrying passengers. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not given airlines any orders to modify these jets.
Boeing announced that preliminary results indicated that its shareholders had elected the 13 board members nominated by the company. The company lost $5 billion in the last year, and almost $22 billion since 2019.
Shareholders wanted to know when the company would resume a dividend that was suspended at the beginning of 2020. Calhoun, along with Chairman Lawrence Kellner, said that they wanted to invest more in the company and reduce debts before returning money to shareholders.
Boeing shares rose 1.6% Tuesday and Spirit AeroSystems shares climbed 7.8%.
Boeing, based in Arlington, Virginia is expected to release its first-quarter results on April 26.

Piper Cherokee 6_edited
BIG PICTURE APPRAISAL
When you decide to entrust us with your airplane we will not just send you a random appraisal that we hope we can sell your aircraft for. We physically go out to the aircraft, personally inspect it, take notes, look at the logs, and take professional pictures. This "big picture appraisal" in conjunction with industry comps allows us to paint a realistic picture of what we can bring to the market today. It allows us to take into consideration the love and pride of ownership the airplane represents, and gives us the ability to talk about your airplane as if it were our own.
Once we have had an opportunity to make our "big picture appraisal", we put that appraisal down in writing. We'll have a one-on-one session where we explain it in detail, answer questions or concerns, and ensure that you are happy with the number before we ever present it for sale. This makes for certain that you are content with the quality of our appraisal and gives a piece of mind that numbers are not being changed in the background to allow for extra dollars into the pockets of those allowing the dream of ownership to change hands.
At this point we are ready to advertise your aircraft worldwide with our standard 120 day listing agreement.

Those brave enough to enter the black void of space over these past few decades are nothing short of pioneers, unknowingly developing a path for corporate exploitation of space. NASA itself, along with the Soviet Space Program, can also be seen as the first entrepreneurs for what is becoming a lucrative business venture for men like Elon Musk, David Thompson, and Jeff Bezos. These men are all CEOs and founders of private space companies with aims to explore and exploit outer space.
Since the start of the shuttle era, public support for NASA has been slowly waning. Many Americans are curious as to what the return investment is for their tax dollars spent on exploring space, and have been given what they believe are sub-par answers to their questions. Elon Musk, along with his company: SpaceX, have always been looking for the profit to be had from what space has to offer. SpaceX, being private, does not run on tax dollars, and thus the average American is not affected by what the company fails or excels at.
Musk is the CEO and founder of SpaceX, a private space company that has been aiming to build reusable rockets that can carry supplies and men to the International Space Station as well as decrease the cost and increase the reliability of space travel. Musk himself is the CEO and founder of Tesla Motors, the founder of PayPal, and is the chairman of SolarCity, all being recent start-up companies that have seen consistent success over the past ten years. Musk one day seeks to colonize Mars and has worked with NASA in the past to make the dream a reality.
Some people support sending people to explore Mars further, but others feel that it is a waste of time and resources.
“Human exploration is not needed,” Dr. Shawn Weatherford, Assistant Professor of Physics, said; “The public might be more supportive of NASA if they just conducted basic research.” Weatherford makes a bold statement concerning publicly funded space exploration. NASA was responsible for landing men on the moon and is determined to continue tackling the dark unknown head on by building and launching more probes, but some people think NASA is being stretched too thin. The US government has not been funding the institution like it has in the past, but NASA is proposing massive undertakings that could potentially stretch their employees and budget to the limits. Should this be a sign that NASA should step back and allow private companies to conceive and execute large, expensive ventures? Why should the public be concerned with something they cannot take advantage of?
The answer lies in the simple truth that we have just one planet, Earth, which we can call home. Climate change is more than an assumption, or some sort of pseudo-science to get people to buy solar panels. The consumption of fossil fuels is pumping more and more carbon into the air, which is already causing catastrophic effects on our oceans and atmosphere. The time is now for the people of Earth to save the planet, or find another planet to live on. Many scientists already agree that the damage that has been done cannot be reversed or halted. The obvious thing to do would be to further fund innovations in space technology to hopefully have the power to colonize another world to ensure the survival of the human race, whether that be done publicly or privately.
Both public and private institutions have their purpose, and for more than 20 years have worked side by side to achieve their goals. NASA’s ambitions may not be the same as private companies, but they both want to innovate and make space travel feasible and cheap. They also want to explore the unknown, and further expand our knowledge about the universe. The bottom line is that we need NASA just as much as we need private companies. Whether NASA should be used for basic research or massive projects, we still need NASA to do what they have always done; explore and understand the cosmos for humankind.

The block 25 F-16c tail number was 84-1261, which was attached to the 17th FS/17 Amu. This aircraft was crewed by Sgts James Roach, Barry Griffin and me, Keith Baker. IN 1988 the 17th gave up the wing jet to the 33rd and 84-1261 had a standard flash put on it

Sorry can't remember tail number but I was on the ramp when this pic was taken. I probably worked on this tail at some point. The pic was commemorating the arrival of the Block 25.

2A6X6 - Aircraft Electrical and Environmental Systems Specialist
Every plane in the Air Force has miles of wire, thousands of sensors and hundreds of dials, switches and indicators. As an Aircraft Electrical and Environmental Systems specialist, you'll know what each one of them does and, more importantly, how to repair them if they malfunction. Precision and attention to detail are key because not only do successful missions rely on safe and effective aircraft, so do the lives of pilots and crew.
|ASVAB Required||E – 61 and M - 41|
|CCAF Earned||Aviation Maintenance Technology|
|Civilian marketability||Very good|
Aircraft Electrical and Environmental (E&E) Systems Specialist are specialists used to maintain all the aircraft systems listed above. E&E works on a variety of systems, more than other maintenance specialty. If one of these systems break, you're responsible to fix it.
Electrical systems consist of power production (generators) and distribution, warning and caution, flight controls, cargo ramp and door positioning, lighting, and NESA (defogging/deicing) windows.
Environmental systems are bleed air (hot air from engines) control, air conditioning, liquid cooling, pressurization, and oxygen systems.
What an average day is like
An average day depends on the aircraft on base, the shop given in your orders, and your shift.
Each aircraft in the Air Force has a personality of its own. Typically fighters (F-15's and F-16's) that pull more G forces break more than heavies (C-130, C-17, C-5) that are flown more kindly. Generally expect more work and longer shifts on fighters than other aircraft.
E & E is assigned to either on-equipment or off-equipment maintenance. On-equipment maintenance, usually called 'flightline' or aircraft maintenance (AMXS), consists of work that includes anything physically on the aircraft, such as generators, bleed air valves, and external lighting. Off-equipment maintenance, typically called backshop or MXS) works on aircraft component such as relay matrixes and liquid oxygen bottles. They also maintain gaseous and liquid oxygen servicing cart components. AMXS typically has more work than MXS.
Shifts are dependent on your base. Some bases have two 12 hour and others have three 8 hour shifts. Each shift is responsible for launching and recovering aircraft. There is usually a launch truck, a truck containing various specialists, that drives around during launches incase something breaks before take-off. When landing, pilots typically report the aircraft's condition before landing stating if anything is broken. If that system belongs to E & E, congratulations, you now have work.
Like all maintenance, there's a fair share of tobacco, alcohol, and parties. E&E troops are nicknamed sparkchasers and are known as the brainiacs/nerds of the flightline. This is usually by people who have no experience with basic electrical principles and stare in wonder of a digital multimeter.
After BMT graduation you'll PCS on a 6-8 hour bus ride north to the 364 TRS at Sheppard AFB, TX. 364 TRS also has Hydraulic System Specialist, POL (Fuels), and Telecommunication. E&E tech school length is 93 academic days, roughly a little more than 5 months. Tech school will teach you basic, generic versions of the systems outlined above. The dorms are brand new and close to the main BX, Commissary, defac, and school house where classes will be. Do NOT brain dump your tech school, it will be essential for your CDCs.
Career Development Courses (CDCs)
There are 5 volumes of CDC’s, with open book tests at the end of each and an End of Course test after all 5 have been completed. A 65% or greater is needed on the End of Course.
Aviation Maintenance Technology. After tech school, your CCAF degree can be completed with 8 CLEPS/DANTES.
Engine run school is a TDY (temporary travel) available after you have some experience, as well as the constant opportunities to become an instructor for on-base training or in AETC (Air Education and Training Command) back at Sheppard AFB.
Ability to do schoolwork
Depends on everything outlined above: aircraft, shop, and shifts.
Requires a secret clearance, which is just a background check. If you can get to MEPS, you're probably good to go. No lie detectors or waterboard confessions needed.
Since there isn't a shred (aircraft specific job) for this AFSC, you're able to go to any base with aircraft. E&E does not work on F-22's, F-35's, or drones.
Deployments happen often and typically last between 4-6 months. Your deployment location depends on your base and global events.
Since E&E touches every system aside from hydraulics, engines, and communications/navigation, it is easy to get an Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) license once those systems are learned. This license is required to work on aircraft outside of the Air Force. The Air Force COOL program currently pays for this exam cost, which can be thousands of dollars.

WASHINGTON: A new Trump Administration policy on space cybersecurity does not mandate any regulatory changes but does put pressure on commercial operators eyeing 5G communications to beef up their satellite networks against jamming and spoofing.
“It should be a wakeup call for those who haven’t really considered space cyber matters in detail,” said one industry expert heavily involved in government-industry consultations in crafting Space Policy Directive-5 (SPD-5), released by the White House on Friday.
DoD is rushing to integrate 5G communications at bases and to figure out how to exploit the coming space-based Internet for future all-domain operations. And while the Pentagon already requires that all contracted satellite operators encrypt their data links to ground stations using NSA-approved methods, it is eyeing how to expand its access to bandwidth by relying on commercial providers.
For example, SpaceX’s Starlink satellites is playing a big role the Air Force’s “on-ramp” demonstrations of its evolving Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), the second of which was held last week.
“There are occasionally discussions of things that you can do relative to the Internet — direct connection from the Internet to a spacecraft is one of those practices and probably seems unwise. Because something is technically possible doesn’t mean that we should do it,” one senior administration official told reporters in a late Friday background briefing on SPD-5.
He added that “space is not separate from” the Internet, and that growing cybersecurity threats and the growing importance of space to critical infrastructure — with GPS in particular ever more integrated into many economic sectors — mean more prudence is necessary.
“We can do a better job of what things we do going on into the future. And we can try to be careful with the things that are out there now,” he said.
As Breaking D readers know, many in the traditional space community have been worried about the scramble by newer space operators — including SpaceX, as well as others such as OneWeb and Amazon — to catch the 5G wave and integrate their satellite operations into the Internet of Things (IoT). But not only the newbies are pursing 5G networking, since IoT connectivity is expected to explode over the next few years and satcom providers want to stay competitive vice their terrestrial wireless competition.
SPD-5 shines a focus on what is known as “positive control” of spacecraft and systems — meaning that they have ways to ensure that hackers do not take over their satellites. This is particularly important for those operators who are relying heavily on autonomous operational capabilities, where a person may not be monitoring satellite functions and movements 24/7.
“Space system owners and operators should develop and implement cybersecurity plans for their space systems that incorporate capabilities to ensure operators or automated control center systems can retain or recover positive control of space vehicles. These plans should also ensure the ability to verify the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of critical functions and the missions, services, and data they enable and provide,” the policy says.
SPD-5’s does not fill regulatory gaps left by Department of Commerce and the Federal Communications Commission in recent rule revisions on remote sensing and communications satellites that worry many in industry. Nonetheless, it has been welcomed as top-level support for public-private efforts to ensure better satellite cybersecurity.
“I applaud the Presidential-level focus and leadership recognizing the importance of establishing and promulgating risk- based space cybersecurity principles aligned to address the expected threats to the unique operational environment of space,” Andrew D’Uva, president of Providence Access Company and US industry chair of the Space Force/National Security Agency’s Commercial Space INFOSEC Working Group (CSIWG), told me in an email today.
“Rather than imposing specific requirements, SPD-5 affords all government stakeholders a policy framework to implement prudent practices to enhance resilience, including specific efforts to work with the commercial space sector overall and promote information sharing. That’s an improvement from the status quo,” he said.
Neither does it weaken current national security rules for cybersecurity, D’Uva stressed.
“For critical environments, e.g., commercial satellite communications support of national security space missions, well-established, more stringent requirements and collaboration mechanisms will continue to apply – SPD-5 doesn’t relax those essential protections one bit,” he said.
Another senior administration official on Friday said that one of the key tools for expanding public-private space cybersecurity efforts is the Critical infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council (CIPAC). This, he explained, is “a mechanism to facilitate interaction between government entities and representatives from the critical infrastructure communities.”
There are 16 sectors deemed “critical infrastructure” by the USG, and a number include space-related industries. Various government agencies interact via the partnership with those sectors on cybersecurity, including DoD, Commerce, NASA, the Department of Homeland Security and NASA, the official said.
The officials said that the Space Information and Analysis Sharing Center (Space-ISAC), an industry-led group that works with government agencies, is another important vector for implementation of SPD-5. As I reported in December, the National Security Council has made supporting the Space-ISAC a key priority.
“The release of SPD 5 is clearly aligned, apparently deliberately so, with the Space ISAC mission of collaboration and engagement among industry and government to avoid onerous regulations yet achieve cyber security for critical space systems. Space ISAC is ideally situated to be the convening entity that will help the space industry execute on the vision set forth in the SPD for industry wide collaboration to avoid directive regulations, and to enable the industry to continue to innovate,” Edward Swallow, senior vice president Civil Systems Group at The Aerospace Corporation and member of the Space ISAC Board, said in an email today.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
High-altitude balloons are unmanned balloons, usually filled with helium or hydrogen, that are released into the stratosphere, generally attaining between 60,000 to 120,000 feet (11 to 23 mi; 18 to 37 km). During 2002, a balloon named BU60-1 attained 53.0 km (32.9 mi; 173,900 ft).
The most common type of high altitude balloons are weather balloons. Other purposes include use as a platform for experiments in the upper atmosphere. Modern balloons generally contain electronic equipment such as radio transmitters, cameras, or satellite navigation systems, such as GPS receivers.
These balloons are launched into what is termed "near space"—- the area of Earth's atmosphere where there is very little air, but where the remaining amount generates too much drag for satellites to remain in orbit.
In France during 1783, the first public experiment with hydrogen-filled balloons involved Jacques Charles, a French professor of Physics and the Robert brothers, renowned constructors of physics instruments. Charles provided large quantities of hydrogen, which had only been produced in small quantities previously, by mixing 540 kg (1,190 lb) of iron and 270 kg (600 lb) of sulfuric acid. The balloon called Charlière took 5 days to fill and was launched from Champ de Mars in Paris where 300,000 people gathered to watch the spectacle. The balloon was launched and rose through the clouds. The expansion of the gas caused the balloon to tear and descended 45 minutes later 20 km (12 mi) away from Paris.

2020 set to be an action-packed year with missions to Mars, the Moon and new players in space travel
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) will put their technological capabilities to test in July 2020, looking for answers on Mars' past life, even as countries hope to extensively map out the Moon's far side
After an action-packed 2019, space research in 2020 is expected to reach newer heights. We can hope to hear a lot from Mars this year, with China and the UAE hoping to touch down on the Red Planet, for the first time ever.
Missions to the Moon, the Sun and asteroids can help scientists unlock mysteries about the solar system and the origins of life. Here is a line up of important space missions to watch out for in 2020:
The year of Mars
In 2020, Mars will make its closest approach to Earth — an event that occurs once every two years. Countries such as the US, EU, China, and UAE are leaving no stone unturned to make the most of it. To that end, they will send their robots to the Red Planet, with some of them hunting for ancient life.
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) will put their technological capabilities to test in July 2020. The Mission — dubbed Mars 2020 — will inform scientists whether Mars hosted life in its heydays: a time when it had lakes and rivers dotting the surface before it transformed into the dry, freezing desert that it is today.
Once it lands in 2021, the robot or rover will search for fossil records of microbes on Mars' Jezero Crater, which was once home to a 36-million-years old river delta.
The crater hosts minerals — carbonates and hydrated silica — that could record signs of past life. On Earth, these minerals have been shown to be ideal for preserving ancient life.
There is more. The Mars 2020 rover, which is expected to land on the red planet in 2021, will be the first mission to return home with Mars' rock samples. Costing $7billion, both space agencies hope to bring back just half a kilogram of rocks to Earth — a feat that will take more than a decade to achieve.
The mission has a lot to accomplish, from testing a method for producing oxygen from the Martian atmosphere and identifying subsurface water to improving landing techniques, and characterizing weather, dust, and other potential environmental conditions — that could affect future astronauts living and working on Mars, says NASA.
NASA's Mars 2020 rover will not be the only robot looking for answers on Mars' past life. We can expect to see the ExoMars 2020 rover — a collaboration between ESA and the Russian space agency, Roscosmos — blasting off Earth in 2020.
ExoMars' robot rover will be carried by a Russian rocket from Baikonur. The mission has a landing site too. Known as Oxia Planum, the site is just north of Mars' equator, according to the Guardian.
Scientists chose to study Oxia Planum because they suspect that the region was home to an ancient lake — its clay-bearing rocks may hold records of ancient life. Also, the region's terrain may pose lesser challenges to the mission than other sites.
The rover comes equipped with a sophisticated lab. As it roams Mars' soils, it will collect samples with a drill and analyze them using its next-generation instruments.
Earlier, the mission's fate appeared to be on shaky grounds, as the complex parachute system that was supposed to help the rover land on Mars failed during recent tests on Earth.
Parachutes are essential in helping slow down the spacecraft from 21,000km/h at the top of the planet's thin atmosphere, to virtually nothing six minutes later, when it touches down on the Martian soil, says the Guardian.
Recently, Europe's Mars lander passed the parachute test conducted in Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.
The ExoMars 2020 is scheduled to launch sometime between July 26 and August 11, 2020.

Gone are the days when the US and Russia were the only space powers. Both these countries have successfully landed spacecraft on Mars. This is about to change in 2020, with China and the UAE entering the picture.
China is on track to launch its Mars mission, Zhang Kejian, the head of the China National Space Administration, said in a press conference.
In November 2019, China cleared its hovering-and-obstacle avoidance test. The test was meant to check how the lander navigates on a site littered with small mounds of rocks — conditions that the lander is expected to face on Mars' uneven terrain.
The Chinese agency has also announced that the Mars probe will be launched by China's powerful Long March 5 rocket.
The journey through space will take about seven months, while landing will take seven minutes, said Zhang Rongqiao, chief architect of the Mars exploration program.
The Arab world is also expected to make a mark on the Red Planet.
In 2020, UAE's Hope Mars Mission will leave for Mars in the Japanese H-IIA rocket and is expected to enter the Martian atmosphere in 2021, the same year that the UAE celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Hope's probe will use its infrared and ultraviolet eyes to inspect Martian climate, recording changes occurring every day and through seasonal cycles.
It also hopes to find a connection between the planet's ancient climate and its current one, and how it has evolved over the years. Studying Mars' climate can also inform scientists how Earth might respond to climate change threats in the future.
Additionally, it will also analyze how the planet lost its oxygen and hydrogen reserves.
"For the UAE, this is the Arab world's version of President John F. Kennedy’s moon shot — a galvanizing vision for the future that can engage and excite a new generation of Emirati and Arab youth," says UAE Ambassador to the US Yousef Al Otaiba during the Embassy's National Day celebration in 2015.
The thirst for Moon's water
In 2019, China became the first country to explore the Moon's far side or the South Pole. This year, countries are hoping to extensively map out the Moon's far side.
This region holds promise, especially after scientists found evidence of water ice, a resource that can help future astronauts set up base on the Moon and create fuel.
Scientists have also found variable amounts of ilmenite and related oxide minerals, silicate minerals and iron material with grain sizes under 100 nanometres — all of which will prove useful for future construction on the moon. They suspect that these valuables may be hiding in the craters, shielded from sunlight.
But there is a catch. To extract these valuables, scientists will still have to learn about them: from figuring out their form and whether they are buried deep in the craters to finding out whether they exist freely or are attached to something.
NASA is gearing up for its Lunar Flashlight mission, scheduled for 2020. NASA's Lunar Flashlight mission will be a cheaper one, thanks to CubeSats — miniature satellites that weigh a few tens of kilograms. The satellite will use lasers to see what is inside of the craters.
In 2020, NASA will also test their preparedness for their 2024 Moon Mission. Called Artemis 1, the mission will test the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, both of which will be deployed to take the first woman and the next man to the Moon in 2024.
During the 2020 test flight, two dummies will board the spacecraft. One of them will don a vest — StemRad — designed to protect future astronauts from the harsh space radiation, while the other will travel unprotected. This is to check the efficiency of StemRad vests, made of plastics that are normally used to make toys: polypropylene.
China, on the other hand, has plans to pick up two kilograms of samples from the near side of the moon, on a site close to Mons Rümker, a volcanic formation situated in the Oceanus Procellarum region. To this end, we can expect to see China launching its Chang'e 5 lunar sample return mission in late 2020.
A rendezvous with the Sun's poles
Last year, NASA's Parker solar probe touched the sun, becoming the first object from the Earth to do so. It also traced the origins of slow solar winds.
In 2020, NASA and ESA have something else in store. Their solar orbiter, scheduled for launch in February 2020, will have a far wider reach than the Parker probe: the Sun's poles.
While providing the first images of the Sun's poles, the mission will also study the Sun and how it can affect the space environment throughout the solar system.
The orbiter will take three years to reach the Sun. Once there, it will orbit the sun coming as close to 26 million miles away from the star every five months — even closer than Mercury.
Steps to counter threats from Near-Earth objects
Miniature satellites, CubeSats will be deployed to study Near-Earth Objects. NASA's Near Earth Asteroid Scout will study objects that can potentially pose threats to Earth. In 2013, a 20-meter meteor exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia, damaging thousands of buildings and injuring more than 1,500 people.
Scientists believe it is crucial to study the properties of these objects, as it may help them devise ways to stop such a collision, says NASA.
Scheduled for launch in 2020, the mission will take pictures and observe the position of asteroids in space, its shape, and other properties. Additionally, scientists study these objects to search for clues to the origins of life.
NASA is also studying a near-Earth asteroid named Bennu. In late 2018, NASA's OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft arrived at the roughly spherical asteroid.
It has found a landing site too. It is expected to land on the asteroid in August 2020 and collect samples from the asteroid. OSIRIS-REx will return home with these samples in 2023.
In December 2020, we can expect to hear from Hayabusa 2, a spacecraft sent on a sample return mission to asteroid Ryugu. After successfully collecting asteroid samples from Ryugu, the spacecraft left for Earth in November last year.
If it all goes well, scientists will be able to study the samples once Hayabusa 2 crashes into the Woomera Prohibited Area, located in the outback desert of South Australia.
The age of internet from space
SpaceX, the aerospace company founded by Elon Musk, is all set to provide high-speed, low-latency internet, but not through undersea cables, but through satellites in space.
In 2019, SpaceX had already launched 120 Starlink satellites and they will be joined by 1,400 more satellites in 2020. The company has big plans: after obtaining permission to send 12,000 Starlink satellites, the company now hopes to send 42,000 of them.
Another private company called OneWeb, which sent six such satellites last year, will have three launches in 2020, sending 30 satellites in each of them.

SpaceX successfully launched a Dragon spacecraft on a cargo mission for NASA to International Space Station (ISS).
- This is SpaceX’s fifth launch of year. The launch was rescheduled earlier due to some electrical problem on ISS.
- It was launched on a ‘Falcon 9’ rocket, from Cape Canaveral in Florida. It is being used for first time.
- Rocket on boards an un-crewed Cargo Dragon spacecraft.
The Dragon spacecraft
- It is scheduled to reach ISS on May 6.
- It carries 2,500 kilograms of research, supplies and hardware for astronauts living and working on ISS as part of the CRS-17 mission (17th resupply mission).
- It will remain at ISS for about four weeks before coming back to Earth with more than 1,900 kg of research and return cargo.
- It has flown before on other Missions namely, CRS-12 mission in August 2017
About The International Space Station (ISS)
- It is basically an orbiting laboratory where its crew members conduct experiments in fields of biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology,etc.
- It is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit (LEO).
- Launched into orbit for first time in 1998, it is now largest human-made body in LEO.

NASA has announced that SpaceX will fly its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) planetary-defence mission. The total launch cost for NASA is estimated to be about $69 million.
Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is a planned space probe that will demonstrate the kinetic effects of crashing an impactor spacecraft into an asteroid moon for planetary defense purposes. The mission is intended to test whether a spacecraft impact could successfully deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth.
DART Planetary-Defense Mission
- DART planetary-defence mission will be will launched by the Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in June 2021.
- The spacecraft will slam into “Didymoon,” the 540-foot-wide (165 meters) satellite of the near-Earth asteroid Didymos which is located at about 4 million miles from Eart in October 2022.
- Scientists will observe the impact with telescopes and measure the change in the Didymoon’s orbit around the asteroid.
- Scientists hope to move it by just a fraction of a per cent off its path, which is enough to deflect any future asteroids off course since Didymos poses no threat to Earth.
DART won’t be the first spacecraft to wallop an asteroid. Earlier this month, Japan’s Hayabusa2 probe smashed a copper cannonball into the space rock Ryugu, to unearth pristine subsurface material for study.

DST is seeking expressions of interest from the Australian aerodynamics community to co-invest in new low speed and transonic wind tunnels that will meet the future requirements of Defence as well as Australian academia and industry. This proposal is aligned with the formation of a National Wind Tunnel Consortium and recent discussion regarding the potential acquisition of a former Boeing high-speed (supersonic) wind tunnel.
Defence’s new Science & Technology Strategy aims to establish high-quality defence S&T precincts across Australia to foster closer relationships with industry and academia. A cornerstone of Defence’s experimental capability continues to be its existing low-speed and transonic wind tunnels which support the ADF, Australian Universities and Industry.
However, both the low-speed and transonic wind tunnels are nearing the end of their service life. Investment in new tunnels is critical and a key to this strategy will be partnering with Australian industry and academia to ensure that these new facilities can meet the future demands of a broad stakeholder group, and to maintain an essential sovereign aerodynamic test capability in Australia.
The future Defence requirement for access to high-quality experimental test facilities is projected to expand across the Air, Land, and Maritime domains. Significant and enduring programs of work (out to 2050) have been identified that include:
- Fixed-wing air-vehicles [low speed and transonic wind tunnel testing]
- Vertical lift systems [low speed tunnel testing]
- Under-water vehicles – particular submarines [low speed tunnel testing]
- Surface vessels [low speed tunnel testing]
- Weapons systems – including the integration, safe carriage (internal / external) and release of weapons from air-vehicles (both manned / unmanned) [both low speed and transonic wind tunnel testing]
- Land-based combat systems [low speed wind tunnel testing]
Defence seeks industry interest in co-investing and partnering in the development of wind tunnels that deliver cutting-edge advances in experimental aerodynamics. This is an opportunity to combine research expertise and efforts to drive innovation in Australia, as well as supporting employment in the university sector and promoting pathways into Defence-related careers.
For further information: Defence Innovation Network (DIN) – https://defenceinnovationnetwork.com/calling-for-eois-from-the-australian-aerodynamics-community/
Expressions of interest can be sent to Bruce Woodyatt at DST: at [email protected]

Israel’s Beresheet spacecraft, launch in February as a secondary payload aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, braked into orbit across the moon four April, one week earlier than a deliberate touchdown try 11 April on Mare Serenitatis.
Beresheet – Genesis – is the primary non-superpower, privately-funded spacecraft to try a moon touchdown. If profitable, Israel, by way of the non-profit SpaceIL and spacecraft builder Israel Aerospace Industries, will develop into solely the fourth nation to ship an operational spacecraft to the floor of the moon.
“After six weeks in space, we have succeeded in overcoming another critical stage by entering the moon’s gravity,” Ido Anteby, SpaceIL CEO, mentioned in a press release. “We still have a long way until the lunar landing, but I‘m convinced our team will … land the first Israeli spacecraft on the moon, making us all proud.”
Launched Feb. 21, Beresheet was launched right into a extremely elliptical Earth orbit. The spacecraft’s most important engine then was used to incrementally increase the excessive level of the orbit till it intersected the moon’s.
To get into lunar orbit on four April, the engine fired for about six minutes, slowing the craft by about 1,000 kph (620 mph) and permitting it to be captured by the moon’s gravity. After further firings to circularise the orbit at an altitude of about 200 kilometres (124 miles), Beresheet will try a touchdown on 11 April.
Modestly outfitted with a magnetometer to measure magnetic discipline power and a high-resolution digital camera system, Beresheet is primarily meant to spur curiosity in STEM careers amongst college students throughout Israel and all over the world.
“The lunar capture is an historic event in and of itself, but it also joins Israel in a seven-nation club that has entered the moon’s orbit,” mentioned Morris Kahn, chairman of SpaceIL. “A week from today we’ll make more history by landing on the moon, joining three super powers who have done so. Today I am proud to be an Israeli.”

High-flying young people have been awarded for their fundraising efforts for a charity which supports former and serving military personnel.
Four cadets from 2326 (Clay Cross) Squadron RAF Air Cadets and the squadron commander, Flight Lieutenant Wayne Oldham, were invited as guests of the Erewash branch of the Royal Air Force’s Association (known as RAFA) for the charity’s annual awards ceremony.
Over the past year the squadron, like many others across the UK , has been busy raising funds for RAFA, which provides support for serving and former members of the Royal Air Force.
In front of members of the Erewash branch, guests and local dignitaries, the cadets of 2326 and Flight Lieutenant Oldham were presented with awards for their support and fundraising efforts.
Cadet Chloe Edson, 16, was presented with a framed certificate for collecting more than £79 and Flt Lt Wayne Oldham was presented with the Arthur Thorp Memorial Cup.
The Arthur Thorp memorial cup is named after Pilot Officer Arthur Thorp, a pilot of Halifax Bombers within Bomber Command during World War 2.
After completing a number of successful operational missions, his aircraft sustained serious damage after being attacked by a German night fighter and crashed near Detmold, Germany.
He remained with his aircraft after six of the crew bailed out to safety, in an effort to land the stricken aircraft and save his trapped tail gunner, sadly this was not to be the case.
The memorial cup is awarded to the RAF Air Cadet Squadron who raises the most money for the charity in all the squadrons in Derbyshire, so this is a great achievement and recognition for the Squadron.
Flt Lt Oldham commented: “I am really proud of the cadets and the efforts they have made this year and my thanks to the Erewash branch of RAFA for recognising this in such a great way.
“We look forward to continuing to support them in 2016.”

Explore the over one million square feet resembling a hot air balloon, an actual Apollo Lunar Module, and 75 other air and spacecraft in the Cradle of Aviation Museum and discover Long Island's role in aviation and why LI is called the Cradle of Aviation.
Humans have been dreaming of flying since the beginning of recorded history. Experimentalists, including Long Islanders, solved some of the most basic design issues of an aircraft’s shape, its propulsion system, and its control system over the past four decades. During your visit to the Cradle of Aviation Museum, you will find one of the best collections of aerospace history.
The JetBlue Sky Theater Planetarium gives you the chance to experience cutting-edge technology at its best. The system, which is in all-digital format, will carry you to journeys you've never imagined. Enjoy 70mm films in the Leroy & Rose Grumman Dome Theater, the highest quality of film in the world —10 times the original size of a film. The Cradle of Aviation Museum offers a multitude of exhibits that are sure to motivate you.
The “Golden Age” of Flight – those two decades represented the advent of true aviation. Technology made enormous progress that allowed it to move from a dangerous activity to a profitable business. The Long Island manufacturing industry contributed greatly to aviation in this exciting time and became a major player in the local economy. Garden City, Long Island was home to many historic flights by dedicated pioneers of the sky, but the biggest event by far of the era was Charles Lindbergh's epic flight that revolutionized and popularized aviation. The Long Island aviation world became an international center during this colorful era.
Long Island played a key role in the production of military aircraft during World War II. These warplanes were of superior quality and produced in huge numbers for the military in the United States and foreign countries, and in all theatres of operations. In large numbers, women and minorities were included in the production of this monumental work, and the local residents provided the manpower necessary for its production.

Of drone’s many usages nowadays, an important application is in sporting competitions, with the gadget flying high through the clouds to provide aerial photography and security inspection.
That’s how drones are put to work in the run-up to the 2023 Wuhan Marathon, due to be held in the central Chinese city on April 16.
Members of Clouded Leopard, a non-governmental group of volunteer rescuers, enlisted to offer their services by flying drones along the marathon route to weed out security hazards.
Tu Sijia, a drone operator on the team, known for short as the “Leopards,” told local media in the Hubei Provincial capital that the drone had flown the length of the running route many times over at multiple angles and heights.
This involved operating the gizmo outdoors under a scorching sun in Wuhan. Temperatures in recent days rose to as high as about 25 degrees Celsius.
The mercury is expected to reach a high of 29 degrees and a low of 19 degrees on the 16th, the very day of the marathon, according to meteorologists.
“All the hard work done for the sporting extravaganza is worth our while,” said Tu.
Since its founding in 2009, Clouded Leopard has been among the first professional citizen emergency rescue groups in China to adopt high-tech gadgets like drone, thermal imagers and others and deploy drones during search-and-rescue missions in disaster-stricken areas.
The team now even owns more than 20 drone-related patents. Its members even combined the ground control station for unmanned aerial vehicles and satellite communication systems in a command car that proved instrumental in past operations.
The “Leopards” even once dropped life buoys from a multirotor into the water during rescue operations.
Drone has an unrivalled benefit in bringing relief to disaster-ravaged areas, Xiang Dong, the founder and leader of the “Leopards,” said in a 2020 interview.
To illustrate, he explained that in the case of a raging fire, thick billows of ash and smoke will impair visibility, preventing rescuers or firefighters from identifying the burning areas.
But a drone carrying high-tech gear can fly high enough to get a clear picture showing the extent of the damage.
It even can predict wind direction and generate 3D simulated images that are conducive to putting out the blaze or helping trapped firefighters find their way out to safety.

Robotic field geologists will bring more samples from space!
We are living in an exciting period of time: samples from asteroids, the Moon, Mars, and hopefully comets are or will be returned to laboratories on Earth within the next one or two decades. These new materials will give us unpreceded views of the origin of the solar system and of processes that led to the establishment of life on Earth and maybe elsewhere. Geochemists will be key players in addressing scientific questions since they will be at the forefront of the sample analysis.
The golden age of Moon exploration in the seventies saw the return to Earth of about 400 kg of lunar rocks and dust thanks to the Apollo and Luna missions five decades ago. Hundreds of international laboratories analyzed, with increasing sensitivity and precision, the first samples returned by humankind from another celestial body. We learned not only how the Moon and inner planets formed and evolved, but also about the composition of the Sun and the nature and flux of extraterrestrial material over 4.5 Ga. Geoscientists invented and developed methods to measure the abundance and isotope compositions of rocks with unpreceded precision, and revolutionized geochemistry. This magical period was unfortunately followed by a disinterest in sample return missions. For several decades, the only ET samples available to our community were those delivered naturally by meteoritic falls, randomly sampling asteroids and, as we learned later, planet Mars.
In the 2000s, two geochemistry-led missions returned exceptional ET material from the Sun and from the outer solar system, respectively. The NASA Genesis mission, which sampled solar ions, permitted the resolution of two of the most pressing issues in cosmochemistry, the origin of mass-independent isotope fractionation of oxygen, and the origin of extremely large variations of nitrogen isotopes among solar system reservoirs. The NASA Stardust mission returned a few cometary grains. Although the grains were highly degraded during capture, their analysis shed light on processes of solar system formation and on the link between the inner and outer regions of the solar system.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has been paving the way to novel sample return missions. In 2010, the Hayabusa (“falcon” in Japanese) mission returned ~100 micrograms of small grains sampled from the asteroid (25143) Itokawa, despite several technical problems that endangered the whole mission. Fortunately, tremendous progresses in analytical geochemistry allowed scientists to analyze key abundances and isotopic ratios in micron-sized bits of rocks. They established a genetic link between the sampled asteroid and a class of well characterized meteorites.
Building on this success and learning from technical issues, JAXA designed a follow-up mission, Hayabusa2, aimed at sampling a volatile-rich asteroid called (162173) Ryugu. This primitive material is thought to represent pieces of solar system forming material and is particularly of interest because it may contain primitive organics rich in life-building elements such as, H, C, N and possibly amino-acids. The mission took off in 2014 and reached its target asteroid in 2018. There the spacecraft sampled pebbles and dust at two locations. The second location was particularly exciting because it was near the newly formed crater that had been artificially created by a small carry-on impactor onboard Hayabusa2. The samples obtained during the second landing operation may contain fresh sub-surface impact ejecta.
The spacecraft left the asteroid in November 2019 and returned its precious cargo to Earth, where the sample return capsule landed in Woomera, Australia, on December 6, 2020. This was really a science-fiction-like mission with a tremendous number of novel developments that all worked perfectly well. The capsule retrieval operation was carried out complying strictly to Australian COVID-19 regulations. The ambient gas from the capsule was retrieved on-site and the sample capsule was sent to the JAXA facility in Tokyo, where scientists discovered with delight that ~5 grams of Ryugu material had been recovered, which is about 50 times the expected nominal mass. Such a mass may appear limited to most geoscientists, but the limiting factor for present-day analyzers is the Avogadro number, that is, the number of sampled atoms. This mass will permit tens of labs worldwide to uncover the origin of matter in the inner solar system.
For its part, NASA designed a mission to sample another primitive, volatile-rich asteroid named (101955) Bennu. The OSIRIS-REx mission was launched in 2016 and reached its target after two years. It patiently mapped this new world before sampling its surface on October 20, 2020. Here also the feast was total: the spacecraft collected about 1 kg of material, more than ten times the mission requirement (60 g). The sample collector head was so full that for a while it could not close its lid and the crew had to rapidly transfer the samples to its return cache. Its Earth landing will take place on September 24, 2023, providing another treat for the geochemistry community.
The European Space Agency (ESA) did not design a sample return mission of its own, preferring in-situ analysis such as the Rosetta mission that successfully analysed the composition of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. However, ESA is now working with NASA to return samples from Mars in 2031. The project is highly risky as it requires 4 successive missions with no room for failure of any of them. A rover is already ready to sample a suite of cores on Mars in a supposedly ancient fluviatile basin and look for traces of water and hopefully life! Because Martian samples could potentially host past or present forms of life, their analysis will be complicated by the requirement to isolate them from the terrestrial biosphere as long as they are not proven to be safe.
Further sample return missions are underway: The Chinese Space Agency (CNSA) has a grand space exploration vision that includes sampling the Moon, Mars and asteroids. On December 16, 2020, it successfully returned lunar samples from the youngest volcanic area of our satellite. Several projects aim to return samples from a comet and therefore increase the analytical precision by orders of magnitude with respect to that of Rosetta (which was already a scientific gift). JAXA also has a plan to bring back samples from one of the Martian moons, Phobos, by the end of 2020s (MMX: Martian Moons eXploration).
Geochemist colleagues, be ready for the feast, we are going to receive samples during the next decade that will change our vision of how our world was built!

HOUSTON, Texas -- For a few hours on a cloudy Saturday, April 17, titans walked among mere mortals at Space Center Houston.
Fifty-one years to the day of their historic splashdown, Apollo 13 NASA astronauts Jim Lovell and Fred Haise greeted a bronze statue celebrating their momentous return to Earth after almost six harrowing days and near catastrophe.
The two surviving astronauts (the third, Jack Swigert, died in 1982 at age 51 of cancer), were joined by Apollo 13 flight directors Gene Kranz, Gerry Griffin, and Milton Windler. (Another flight director, Glynn Lunney, passed away on March 19.)
