By Oscar Michel, Masters in Journalism, DCU Sony released the first 4k footage shot from the International Space Station (ISS) with the a7s II full -frame mirrorless camera. Amazing footage has been shot in 4k (QFHD 3840X2160) from outer space. The International Space Station orbits approx. 400 kilometers (249 miles) above the Earth at a speed of roughly 8 km/sec. (5 miles/sec.), and completes one orbit of the earth in approx. 90 minutes (16 orbits/day) recording a variety of 4K videos and still images from outer space. “By capturing exceptional, immersive images from outer space of something such as a large-scale disaster on the ground, you can grasp aspects of the situation that are unseen from the ground, such as damage and the scope of impact. We can also explore environmental changes by taking continuous pictures of a specific place, like a fixed-point observation. This could be looking at color change in the sea by taking pictures of a submarine volcano or watching the movement of drift ice. By recognizing these kinds of changes of the Earth, we can contribute to an understanding of global environmental issues, and we also believe that transmitting images invisible from the ground will lead to an increased interest in space development” said Jaxa engineer Toshitami Ikeda. The ?7S II has been selected as the camera for the new exterior platform on the ISS’s Japanese Experiment Module known as “KIBO”. As a result of various tests conducted by JAXA, it was confirmed that the ?7S II possesses the durability and reliability to withstand the unique and unforgiving environment of outer space, including high vacuum, cosmic radiation, and abrupt temperature fluctuations. The H-II Transfer Vehicle, KOUNOTORI, a Japanese cargo transfer spacecraft serving the International Space Station, was launched from Japan’s largest rocket-launch complex, the Tanegashima Space Center, on December 9, 2016, carrying one of Sony’s revolutionary ?7S II cameras on board. This gives us on the ground the opportunity to see images captured from space in 4K or full HD video resolution, as well as 12 megapixels still pictures. A 51,200 ISO was essential to get good footage of earth at night. The a7s has enormous light-gathering pixels in its full-frame 12.2-megapixel sensor. “Phenomena such as Aurora or meteors, or the earth seen at night from space, are a little different from when seen on the ground, so the high sensitivity capture that the A7S II offers is perfect for night shooting,” said Ikeda . “Using our previous system, we couldn’t even consider shooting at night, which comes around every 45 minutes.”

The two AgustaWestland AW189 super medium twin engine helicopters operated by Bel Air of Denmark have exceeded 6000 flight hours as of January, setting a new milestone while demonstrating exceptional availability and mission effectiveness performing long range offshore transport missions in the North Sea. This outstanding result was possible through the strong cooperation between the operator and Leonardo’s customer support team. This achievement confirms Bel Air as world fleet leader for the AW189 model in a demanding operational environment. Bel Air has more recently reached even greater levels of capability upon installing the Limited Icing Protection System (LIPS) onto its two AW189s. LIPS permits flight within a known and defined envelope of icing conditions provided that the capability to descend into a known band of positive temperature is available throughout the intended route. A unique feature in the super medium category, LIPS allows operations in more severe weather conditions when other competing types are confined in the hangars. Bel Air has also opted for the 8.6 tonne Maximum Gross Weight upgrade to give its customers greater levels of payload. An existing AW139 operator and the official Leonardo Service Centre for the AW139 and the AW189 in Denmark, Bel Air is benefitting from the unique operational, training, support and management advantages of the family of new generation helicopters, thanks to the introduction of the AW189 model into their fleet. This all-new approach to effective, flexible and efficient fleet management is helping Bel Air as it expands its capabilities in support of safe operations for the North Sea oil and gas industry, as well as carrying out offshore wind turbine support and ad hoc helicopter services. With agreements for over 150 units, including orders and options, and over 30 helicopters delivered to customers worldwide for offshore transport, SAR and transport duties, the AW189 is the outright market leader in its class. The AW189 is unique in having a 50 minute ‘run-dry’ capable main gear box, exceeding current certification standards and offering unmatched safety and reliability for long range offshore operations. A Full Ice Protection System (FIPS) is also available on demand, allowing the aircraft to operate in full icing conditions. - Dickson sworn in as new FAA Administrator - Bell Announces 200th Bell 505 Jet Ranger X Delivery - Pratt & Whitney to Open New Engine Overhaul Centre in Brazil - Life Flight Network Achieves NAAMTA Medical Transport Accreditation - WAI Receives Grant from the ISTAT Foundation - Cornwall Air Ambulance appoints first Vice President - Kopter enters the Brazilian market - Leonardo confirms solid presence in the Brazilian VIP market at - Elbit to supply components for CV-22 Color Helmet Mounted Display System - East Anglia Air Ambulance to extend Norwich head office - Forecast International Publishes White Paper on Global Outlook for Helicopters - German NH90s get upgrade with Rohde & Schwarz radios - Airbus now accepting nominations for sixth annual ‘Innovation in Safety Award’ - Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Shortlisted for Third Sector Awards - Thames Valley Air Ambulance partners with what3words app - STARS announces winners of $4.1M Saskatchewan Lottery - Genesys Aerosystems Equipped Leonardo TH-119 Achieves IFR Certification - Boeing opens V-22 production facility - Helicentre Announces Bristow CPL(H) Scholarship - Keynote Speakers Announced for CHC Safety & Quality Summit

"Flying Over" Top 5 Page for this destination Flights to Santorini Tip by sandysmith Flights to Santorini, Santorini Island: 15 reviews and 20 photos We had a direct flight from Manchester, England to Santorini with XL, taking just under 4 hours. Santorini has a small airport located near Monolithos, not from from the end of Kamari beach where the planes fly over to land. Space is limited in the departure lounges, there is an outdoor lounge upstairs where you can view the planes landing and taking off. There is a small tax free/duty free shop and a couple of bars for snacks and drinks. Several times we found no running water in he toilets so a pack of wet ones might be handy. With the flight we flew over so many of the nearby islands and had great views with our day time flight. Managed a couple of shots as we approached looking down onto Fira and even our own village Katerados - we could even make out the hotel on it!

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine has called for more global participation in efforts to deflect asteroids that could collide with Earth. Bridenstine spoke to the 2019 Planetary Defense Conference in Washington, D.C., on Monday morning in an event that was streamed live online. The conference was organized by the International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety. “We have to use our systems our capabilities to ultimately get more data and we have to do it faster,” Bridenstine said. “We need more partners from all over the world.” The conference featured world experts on what is known about potentially hazardous asteroids and comets and how rockets or spacecraft might alter a collision course with Earth. Bridenstine said asteroid redirection is “not about movies” and not about Hollywood, but it is about “protecting the only planet we know.” “One of the reasons we have to take this seriously is the giggle factor,” he said. NASA already has an asteroid deflection test mission — Double Asteroid Redirection Test — scheduled for launch from California in 2021 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The DART spacecraft is designed to collide with a small moon of the asteroid Didymos in 2022, with a mission cost of $69 million. Members of the International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety are tracking an asteroid, 99942 Apophis, which will pass by Earth on April 13, 2029, closer than where weather satellites orbit. According to the association, It will be bright enough to be visible with an unaided eye for several hours around the closest approach. Named after the ancient Egyptian spirit of evil, darkness and destruction, it is estimated to be about 1,115 feet in diameter. “If it were to hit, it would cause major damage to our planet and likely to our civilization as well. Fortunately, Apophis will not hit Earth in 2029, but the closeness of its approach will provide an excellent opportunity to study and perhaps send a spacecraft to this potentially hazardous Asteroid,” said a news release from the international association. Bridenstine said he was glad the association was publicizing the Apophis event, so that the public and leaders in Congress appreciate the opportunity it represents to study a near-earth object or NEO. He said the European Space Agency is a leader in the effort, and Russia is very aware of the issue because of large meteor events there in 1908 and in 2013. The latter event, the Chelyabinsk meteor, exploded in the sky over Russia, sending out heat and shock waves that blew out windows, injured hundreds of people and set off alarms over a large area. That meteor was 66 feet across. Larger asteroids or meteors could destroy an entire state or entire European country, Bridenstine said. NASA’s Launch Services Program at Kennedy Space Center in Florida will manage the SpaceX launch service for DART. The DART Project office is located at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, and is managed by the Planetary Missions Program Office at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office in Washington. Gaia survey reveals three new asteroids The ongoing Gaia survey has turned up a trio of new asteroids in the solar system. The Gaia mission is an effort by astronomers to compile the largest and most precise 3D space catalog in history. Most of the space telescope’s targets are faraway stars, but the observatory can also pick up objects closer to Earth, including asteroids. The majority of the asteroids spotted by Gaia are already known, but astronomers found three new asteroids among the observations released by Gaia late last year. The three new asteroids were confirmed by observations made using the Haute-Provence Observatory in France. The three space rocks are all main-belt asteroids, but the tilt of their orbits are slightly askew, setting them apart from their neighbors. “The population of such high-inclination asteroids is not as well studied as those with less tilted orbits, since most surveys tend to focus on the plane where the majority of asteroids reside,” the European Space Agency reported. “But Gaia can readily observe them as it scans the entire sky from its vantage point in space, so it is possible that the satellite will find more such objects in the future and contribute new information to study their properties.” An online alert system that scans Gaia data for potential discoveries and idiosyncrasies keeps astronomers all over the world abreast of noteworthy findings. After being sent an alert, scientists can deploy other observatories for followup imaging. “Once an asteroid detected by Gaia has been identified also in ground-based observations, the scientists in charge of the alert system analyze the data to determine the object’s orbit,” according to ESA. “In case the ground observations match the orbit based on Gaia’s data, they provide the information to the Minor Planet Center, which is the official worldwide organization collecting observational data for small solar system bodies like asteroids and comets.” Though all of the asteroids identified so far by Gaia have been inhabitants of the main asteroid belt, it’s possible the space observatory could spot near Earth objects. Space agencies around the world are working hard to more effectively identify and track the trajectories of potentially hazardous space rocks. This week, federal agencies in the United States, as well as several international partners, are participating in an asteroid impact exercise at the 2019 Planetary Defense Conference. As part of the tabletop exercise, participants responded to a fictional near-Earth object impact scenario.

BEFORE you book your summer holiday, you should check the flight times if you want to avoid being delayed. Experts have explained that you should never fly after midday – unless you want to risk your flight being late. Former pilot Kathleen Bangs told Forbes: “The early bird gets airborne, statistically, with less delays and fewer cancellations. “The later it gets in the day, the more likely your flight is to be delayed or cancelled. “As the day wears on, airlines have less options for passengers which is why if you really need to be on time, taking the morning flight is often your best bet.” Recent data from Flightaware, which tracked flights across the US in July 2021, found 85 per cent to 90 per cent of flights were on time in the morning – compared to just 65 per cent to 70 per cent in the afternoon. They also analysed flights during the week of Thanksgiving over the past 10 years, which found flights departing after 5pm had the most delays, with 50 per cent more than flights departing at midday. Adit Damodaran, economist at Hopper, agreed, adding: “Later segment flights, which are those relying on crew and potentially the plane itself from a prior segment, are more susceptible to be delayed.

He explained: "If you show up for the early flight and there's some sort of problem, the airline can move you to the later one. "But if you show up for the later flight, they can't move you to the early one unless you've brought a time machine with you." A flight attendant also said that flying earlier will mean not only nicer crew, but much cleaner planes. She told NBC News: "Early morning flights are the best – they’re almost always on time. "We want to get home or get to our destinations just as much as you do. We’re happier if the flight takes off on time." Source: Read Full Article

A large group of Clara Brownell 6th graders joined Pendleton High School students and Ukiah students at the PHS Auditorium on the morning of Monday, October 21st to hear about NASA and space. Jim McBarron, who worked for 39 years as a NASA engineer, is visiting Oregon as part of an educational initiative for rural Oregon students. McBarron described to the student audience that during college, he worked part time with the Wright Patterson Air Force Base aeromedical laboratory, which provided student test subjects to determine human endurance characteristics during and after exposure to extreme environmental conditions. He started working for NASA in 1961 and during his career worked on various aspects of missions including Apollo 9, 11 and 13. Projects included evaluating spacesuits and crew equipment, testing equipment and modifying it when necessary. When asked by students what an exciting moment in his career was, McBarron said “being in zero gravity was the most fun!” The JPL Museum in Stayton, Oregon, helped bring this presentation to the area. James Loftus, who founded the museum in honor of his father, also spoke at the assembly and showed a spacesuit glove, boot and more equipment used by astronauts. Loftus worked with Lon Thornburg, transitional network facilitator at the InterMountain ESD. Thornburg, who works with students with disabilities to transition to post-high school opportunities, said that Loftus is committed to ensuring that programs like this include students with special needs and who are on IEPs (Individual Education Plans). Thornbug said Loftus knows that many NASA engineers came from farm country or rural areas and some had ADHD or Autism Spectrum disorder. “Many of these kids were square pegs trying to fit into round holes, in other words different-thinking students. James (Loftus) wants to reach out to rural Oregon to find these needles in a haystack,” Thornburg said. After the morning presentation, the Ukiah and Umatilla groups traveled to the Pendleton UAS Range for a tour of the facility to learn about the work being done there. This program was made possible by Space Center Houston, EOU Go Stem Hub, JPL Museum, CHI St. Anthony Hospital, Oregon Grain Growers Distillery, NASA Alumni League JSC Chapter, Pendleton UAS Range, IMESD CTE program, City of Pendleton and Umatilla County.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) received its first ‘acceptance’ Rafale combat aircraft from Dassault Aviation in France on Thursday, as per ANI. Deputy Air Force Chief Air Marshal VR Chaudhary also flew in the aircraft for around one hour, the news agency said. The aircraft has been delivered as per schedule. Earlier, Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa was supposed to receive them. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will receive the first Indian Rafale combat aircraft during his visit to France on October 8. Rafale is manufactured by the French manufacturing company, Dassault Aviation. The Indian Air Force Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa was expected to receive the aircraft from France on September 19-20. Now, Singh will travel to France along with Defence Secretary Ajay Kumar and other senior government officials. According to government sources, October 8 was chosen as the induction date because both Dussehra and Air Force Day are celebrated on that day. Simultaneously, an Air Force team would visit France and sign documents, which would enable the Indian pilots to start training on the advanced Rafale aircraft. Sources indicate that the pilots might fly the aircraft once the Defence Minister reached the location near Bordeaux. The planes would arrive in India only after being refitted with India-specific enhancements and the training of pilots and personnel. The government of India signed a deal with the French government and Dassault Aviation to procure 36 Rafale fighter jets to bolster India’s urgent requirement on the eastern and western borders in September 2016. It costs more than 7.8 billion euros. The opposition parties led by the Congress-led a frontal attack on this deal. Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi had demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to probe various allegations like the escalation of procurement price and undue benefits to a private Indian company. Currently, the Supreme Court has reserved its verdict on a bunch of pleas seeking a review of its December 14, 2018 judgement, which had dismissed the petitions against the Rafale deal.

A British air accident report has recounted how a pilot briefly lost control of a passenger plane after his artificial arm became detached from the control yoke during landing. The incident took place as the Flybe flight from Birmingham, England, carrying 47 passengers, was approaching Belfast City Airport in gusty conditions in February. The 46-year-old pilot had shortly before checked that his prosthetic lower left arm was securely attached to the yoke clamp, but as he performed a maneuver just before touchdown the limb became detached. He quickly switched to his right hand and managed to land safely. ABC’s Tom Rivers joined us from London with details. Follow us on Twitter:

The AZT-33 VM telescope with a field view of 2.8 degrees was built in St. Petersburg by optical corporation JSC “LOMO,” with the assistance of the Siberian Branch of RAS and Roskosmos. The new telescope will be able to view any asteroid or comet from thousands of miles away before their collision with Earth. “This is the first tool of its kind in Russia, a world-class telescope, very powerful. It will be able to detect distant objects that threaten Earth,” news website Izvestia reported Boris Shustov, scientific director of the Institute of Astronomy as saying. “Within just 30 seconds the telescope can get information about an asteroid of 50 m in size and at a distance of one astronomical unit — 150 million km. This means that the telescope will be able to view any object from that distance, parameters of which could be comparable to the Tunguska meteorite,” Shustov further said. He explained that the shortest time of approach of such bodies to Earth from a distance would be one month in its worst scenario. But usually it would be able to predict objects years ahead. That is, it would be possible to detect potentially dangerous bodies long before they approach the Earth. The danger of asteroids and comets has been under discussion on a regular basis for many years, including at the UN and other international organizations. The adequate means for detection of dangerous bodies has only been developed on a theoretical level. The first real experiment on the impact of an asteroid is scheduled for the beginning of 2020 with asteroid Didim and its companion Didimun. The joint NASA and the European Space Agency experiment will assess the effectiveness of the “ramming method” not earlier than by 2023, given the fact that the ramming process is scheduled for 2022 and will require more time to evaluate changes in the orbit of Didim. According to Boris Shustov, in order for AZT-33 telescope to have its capabilities fully realized, it is necessary to acquire further equipment worth about 500 million rubles. “Wide field means a large receiving surface. In the Sayan observatory currently lays a small detector, there should be at least 20 of these to cover the entire surface. Then it will be possible to observe a huge area of the sky at once,” Izvestia reported Shustov as saying. “According to my calculations, for the purchase of the necessary parameters of detectors we require about 500 million rubles, in order for the telescope to work at its full capacity. This must be done to bring the enterprise to a full result,” Shustov said. Matrices provide a powerful part of the cost of today's wide-angle telescopes that can be called the most powerful digital cameras of today. The PS1 telescope project Pan-STARRS records observations at 1.4 billion pixels. Within the framework of the Federal Space Program for 2016-2025, Russia plans to create an automated warning for hazardous situations in near-Earth space. As part of this project, it is planned to carry out the development of technology and software to detect threats to Earth by celestial bodies. It will also allow for the creation of a hardware-software that can create complex simulation scenarios and countermeasures that could help protect Earth from the dangers of comets and meteorites. Hence, it is necessary to develop the hardware and software systems for collection, processing and analysis of data.

SpaceX and NASA are getting closer to sending a manned spacecraft On Thursday at the launch site 39A of the Outer Space Center. Kennedy at Cape Canaveral (the US Air Force base in Florida) conducted a test launch of the Falcon 9 rocket engines with the Crew Dragon spacecraft installed . It is this rocket that should send the crew to the International Space Station. Demonstration flight (as far as can be judged, without a team) will be held in February. An unmanned test launch will take place on February 23, but in June of this year, if everything goes well, the astronaut team will head to the ISS. In any case, SpaceX representatives announced just such a schedule. NASA helps in the work of both SpaceX and Boeing - both companies have contracts with the agency for delivering cargo to the ISS and astronauts. It is worth noting that in connection with the Shatdaun in the US, the agency works, in fact, for free. Preparing for flight and astronauts. So, Robert Benken and Doug Hurley carefully work out all their actions with the spacecraft simulator Crew Dragon. The simulator was created by SpaceX, it is as close to real conditions as possible. Both astronauts previously flew into space on the "Shuttle". And one more important point - both astronauts wear lightweight versions of spacesuits, which are created by SpaceX. They were first shown in August 2017. They will not be able to go into outer space, but such a spacesuit can protect against depressurization and other dangers. And the protection here from both low and high temperatures - for some time the spacesuit can protect its owner from open fire. Interestingly, the model of the spacesuit in question, developed on the basis of technology of the 1960s. SpaceX has created a new spacesuit so that astronauts will not be too difficult to work inside the spacecraft. Such "clothes" are much more mobile than the usual space suit. It is worth noting that if SpaceX succeeds, for the first time in several years, Americans will deliver their own astronauts on their own spacecraft. The last time it happened in 2011, when the space shuttle "Atlantis" went to space for the last time. Currently, American astronauts fly to the ISS on the Russian space "transport workers." If SpaceX and Boeing do everything well, then from 2019 the United States will send people on its own ships. Falcon 9 is much less expensive to operate than any other rockets. Boeing is also developing a spacecraft, but SpaceX is doing better. The company Ilona Mask works, as far as can be judged, more effectively. By the way, despite the fact that the June flight (hopefully it will not be postponed) will be called "manned", the entire procedure for launching the ship, the flight and docking will occur automatically. SpaceX will perform the launch work in the same way as without people, but only with passengers in a capsule. Earlier, SpaceX announced that the astronauts would be in a capsule when fueling the launch vehicle. Usually the team goes to their places after refueling, because it is quite a dangerous procedure. But after SpaceX has improved the process, it lobbies the technology of preparation, which was called Load-an-Go. This is necessary so that the super-cooled rocket fuel does not heat up. For NASA, cooperation with SpaceX is beneficial because the agency saves a lot of money. Instead of developing space transport by itself, the organization has subcontracted this task.

By John A. Okonski, 51st Fighter Wing Historian / Published February 28, 2012 OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- Although President Obama's Fiscal Year 2013 Department of Defense budget proposal recently presented to Congress calls for inactivation of five of the 16 A-10C Thunderbolt II squadrons from the U.S. Air Force active, reserve, and air national guard inventory, the 25th Fighter Squadron at Osan Air Base will remain a vital air asset in the defense of the Republic of Korea. The 25th FS became the last A-10A unit of the U.S. Air Force total force components to complete conversion to the A-10C in 2011. But, more importantly, the A-10 in the ROK recently reached an important milestone. Thirty years ago on Jan. 28 1982, the first two A-10As assigned to the 25th FS landed at Osan Air Base. These aircraft served as trainer aircraft for maintenance crews as the ROK Government completed construction of facilities at Suwon Air Base to serve as the main operating base for the A-10A. A little more than a month later, on March 3, 1982, the first six operational A-10As landed at Suwon to begin a new era of deterrence and offensive firepower of the US Air Force in the ROK. By January 1983, the 25th FS was equipped with 26 A-10As to include the two trainer aircraft. The A-10 was the first U.S. Air Force aircraft specially designed and built for close air support of ground forces. Its development resulted from the deadly experiences of numerous jet fighters and US Army helicopters being shot down over South Vietnam. The U.S. Air Force consequently initiated a design study in 1967 for a low-cost attack aircraft that could have long loiter time, low-speed maneuverability, massive cannon firepower, and extreme survivability. Fairchild-Republic, which was awarded the contract on March 1, 1973, built the aircraft essentially around its 30mm GAU-8/A Gatling gun that can fire 3,900 rounds a minute. Coupled with a large ordnance capacity, the A-10 is particularly effective against enemy armor and tanks. Discussions between the U.S. and ROK Governments to base an A-10 squadron in the ROK had been ongoing since the mid 1970s as the A-10A entered the U.S. Air Force inventory on March 20, 1976 with the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz. Two 355 TFW A-10As deployed to Osan AB 15 months later on June 19, 1977 to participate in a combined ROK-US exercise to demonstrate its capabilities. Col. Ralph E. Adams, 355 TFS vice commander, had the distinction of landing the first A-10A in the ROK. Earlier as the aircraft was being built, the U.S. experienced an inglorious withdrawal of military forces from South Vietnam in April 1975 followed by the fatal U.S.S Mayaguez incident off the coast of Cambodia in May 1975. These events greatly affected the American public, and in 1976, elected Jimmy Carter as president who, among his foreign affairs positions, advocated for withdrawal of all U.S. military forces from the ROK. Unlike the Vietnam setback, debate within Congress ensued during the next three years over this course of action. Later events proved the deliberate debate fortuitous regarding the long-standing U.S. military role in the ROK. In early 1979, Soviet Union military forces entered Afghanistan. This event resulted in the Carter Administration reversing its position, and rethinking its military strategy in the Pacific and Far East. At the 12th ROK-U.S. Security Consultative Meetings held in Seoul in October 1979, Secretary of Defense Harold Brown announced that the U.S. would base an A-10A squadron in the ROK by the early 1980s with Suwon AB selected as the bed-down site. The announcement resulted in Pacific Air Forces activating the 25th Tactical Fighter Squadron on February 1, 1981 in an unmanned status with assignment to the 51st Composite Wing (Tactical) at Osan AB. This move was preparatory to arrival of the A-10A. As the date neared for arrival of the A-10A on the ROK, the 25 TFS became fully manned with Maj Harry J. Keiling Jr as the first 25 TFS commander at Suwon AB. He flew the second A-10A into Osan AB on January 28, 1982 after Col. Eugene G. Myers, 51 CW (T) commander, landed the first A-10A on that date. Both members later flew the first two operational A-10As into Suwon AB. Between March 3, 1982 and September 30, 1989, the 25 TFS operated with the 6151st Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron from Suwon AB. On September 23, 1989, the 25 TFS flew its last A-10A sortie from Suwon AB. Earlier, the squadron transferred 13 A-10As to the 19th Tactical Air Support Squadron between January and March 1989. The 19 TASS, assigned to the 5th Tactical Air Control Group at Osan AB, had been flying the OV-10 Bronco which, in turn, transferred its aircraft to stateside units. After September 30, 1989, the 25 TFS returned to unmanned status and finally was inactivated on July 31, 1990. The 19 TASS later was assigned to the 51st Operations Group on October 1, 1990 as part of the service-wide "Objective Wing" reorganization directed by Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Merrill A. McPeak. Refinements to the "Objective Wing" concept continued over the following 3 years. McPeak further advocated that the most historic units replace newer unit designations. As a result, the 25th FS, which had been a charter unit of the 51st Fighter Group before World War II, replaced the 19 TASS designation on October 1, 1993. Even though the A-10 proved its worth in combat during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, some U.S. Air Force planners wanted to retire the aircraft given extensive reductions in the military during the post-Cold War period. However, the A-10 survived these efforts, and has continued to serve exemplary during operations in Afghanistan. During the 1990s, one measure the U.S. Air Force took to provide a more cost effective force structure given funding constraints was to inactivate a number of combat squadrons, but increase the number of aircraft in its remaining units. In 1995, the 25th FS went from a 12 primary aircraft authorized unit to 18. Four years later in 1999, the 25th FS again increased in authorized aircraft to 24. Although the A-10 has been in the US Force inventory for more than 35 years, the US Air Force sought to extend its service life and improve combat capabilities. The A-10 service life has been extended through the Service Life Extension Program. Its combat capabilities have been upgraded with the latest weapons, targeting, and avionics technology through such programs as the low altitude safety and targeting enhancement system, Pave Penny laser tracking pod, liteningadvanced targeting pod, and precision engagement (PE) modifications. The latter program resulted in all A-10As being redesignated as A-10Cs.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) released a new mobile application for the iPhone today that provides detailed airport information, aviation weather, and flight planning capability, free to AOPA members. The new app, AOPA FlyQ, replaces the popular AOPA Airports app and is now available for download through Apple’s App Store. “AOPA Airports has been extremely popular with our members, with more than 60,000 users since its launch in 2009,” said Chris Ward, AOPA vice president, eMedia. “AOPA FlyQ brings even more value to the AOPA member by incorporating a fast and elegant user experience, aviation weather, and intelligent flight planning capabilities that will make flight planning smarter and more convenient.” Developed in partnership with Seattle Avionics, AOPA FlyQ dramatically improves the airport directory function in the previous app and extends it with robust and easy-to-use flight planning capabilities, enhanced by local and national weather information. At the core of AOPA FlyQ’s elegant functionality is its advanced auto-routing flight planning capability. AOPA FlyQ simplifies flight planning by requiring users to input only a flight’s origination and destination points. The application will then optimize the route based on forecast winds aloft and aircraft performance parameters. “AOPA FlyQ was developed by pilots for pilots. We understand the unique challenges aviators face creating flight plans and flying their aircraft because we have faced them ourselves. We were able to work with Seattle Avionics, which is also pilot-led, to distill our combined knowledge into a product that we expect our members will find indispensable,” Ward said. In addition to the flight planning capabilities, AOPA FlyQ delivers local and national weather information, including METARs, TAFs, radar, and more, as well as all of the features and content previously available through AOPA Airports. The app also includes vital details on more than 5,300 public-use landing facilities; 7,000 FBOs and aviation-related businesses; and more than 55,000 restaurants and transportation services. AOPA Airports will continue to operate and be available for new downloads for Blackberry and Windows Mobile device users. AOPA members using AOPA Airports will automatically receive an invitation to download the new app free of charge. An active AOPA Membership and an AOPA Online username and password are required to use AOPA FlyQ. For more information please visit www.aopa.org/flyqiphone.

The U.S. Navy said it completed the first successful arrested landing with an unmanned aircraft using Northrop Grumman's X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) demonstrator. The landing was conducted May 4 at Naval Air Station in Patuxent River, Md. Arrested landing procedures feature the incoming aircraft extending its landing hook to catch a heavy cable extended from the landing area. The cable then brings the aircraft a rapid controlled stop. With the X-47B, Northrop Grumman used a navigation approach to simulate the technique that the Navy will use to land unmanned aircraft on an aircraft carrier at sea. "This precision, shore-based trap by the X-47B puts the UCAS Carrier Demonstration [UCAS-D] program on final approach for a rendezvous with naval aviation history," said Capt. Jaime Engdahl, the Navy's UCAS program manager. "It moves us a critical step closer to proving that unmanned systems can be integrated seamlessly into Navy carrier operations." Later this month, the X-47B is scheduled to undergo sea-based aircraft carrier trials. According to the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), the X-47B will not be used for "operational use," but rather to develop a concept of operations for use in future unmanned carrier based aircraft programs.

Sep 26, 2020 1  Likes 0 Comments About this Deal There’s an emerging industry thought to be only science fiction not too long ago that’s close to becoming a reality: space tourism. And a handful of companies – including one publicly traded name – are competing neck and neck to be leaders in the emerging market. But what space tourism entails, and how much it costs per person, varies greatly depending on a company’s technological capabilities. For example, both Virgin Galactic and SpaceX expect to fly private paying passengers to space next year. But, while passengers flying with both companies would go to space by the Federal Aviation Administration’s definition, a Virgin Galactic passenger spends about 0.04% as much time in space as on a SpaceX trip, while a ride with Elon Musk’s company is expected to cost roughly 200 times as much. Whether a passenger reaches suborbital and orbital space is the major difference in the destinations of the human spaceflight offerings in development. Because of that difference, there are notable distinctions in the cost, experience and even risk of what it means to be a space tourist. UBS in a report last year estimated that space tourism, with both suborbital and orbital together, has a potential market value of $3 billion by 2030. More recently, space industry consultancy Northern Sky Research broke out its expectations for suborbital versus orbital tourism. By 2028, NSR expects suborbital will be a $2.8 billion market, with $10.4 billion in total revenue over the next decade, while orbital will be a $610 million market, with $3.6 billion in total revenue over the next decade. Here’s how the small but growing market breaks down, and which companies are involved in each area.

Indian Navy reconnaissance plane makes emergency landing in Moscow MOSCOW - An II-38 plane of the Indian Navy made an emergency landing in an airfield just outside Moscow late on Saturday night. Local Russian media reported that the plane had developed a technical snag and was forced to make an emergency landing at the Zhukovsky Airfield. The airport was temprarily shut down for other flight operations. A chasis failure is being suspected as the cause of trouble. There was, however, no fire even though emergency services were kept on high alert. The plane eventually made a successful landing 'with unlowered front landing gear," according to Sputnik News, quoting a press service statement. In a statement, the Indian Navy clarified that the aircraft was in Russia for an overhaul and that no crew was on board when the incident took place. The II-38 is a long-distance anti-submarine plane with modern navigation and radio tools which makes it capable of spotting ships and submarines.

Solar Impulse, the brainchild of Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, is the first solar plane to fly day and night, on zero fuel, using only the energy stored in its batteries. It is also the first solar plane to fly through the night, between two continents and across the United States. The aircraft accomplished around the world flight of 40,000 km without a drop of fuel. The achievement is undoubtedly the first in history, as well as in energy and clean technology. The unprecedented accomplishment marks the completion of 13 years of pioneering research and development. The aircraft was built to be taken to such a high level of energy efficiency that it could fly day and night relying only on the stored solar energy. The aircraft was built not to carry passengers, but to carry the message of a clean future with clean energy. The world is in need of quality life and clean technology, and renewable energy is a part of the solution.

Design and development In 1942, the U.S. Department of War was faced with the need to transport war materiel and personnel to Britain. Allied shipping in the Atlantic Ocean was suffering heavy losses to German U-boats, so a requirement was issued for an aircraft that could cross the Atlantic with a large payload. Due to wartime priorities, the design was further constrained in that the aircraft could not be made of metal. The aircraft was the brainchild of Henry J. Kaiser, who directed the Liberty ships program. He teamed with aircraft designer Howard Hughes to create what would become the largest aircraft built at that time. When completed, it was capable of carrying 750 fully-equipped troops or one M4 Sherman tank. The original designation “HK-1” reflected the Hughes and Kaiser collaboration. The HK-1 contract in 1942, issued as a development contract, called for three aircraft to be constructed under a two-year deadline in order to be available for the war effort. Seven configurations were considered, including twin-hull and single-hull designs with combinations of four, six and eight wing-mounted engines. The final design chosen was a behemoth, eclipsing any large transport then built. To conserve metal, it would be built mostly of wood (elevators and rudder were fabric covered); hence, the “Spruce Goose” moniker tagged on the aircraft by the media. It was also referred to as the Flying Lumberyard by critics. Hughes himself detested the nickname “Spruce Goose”. While Kaiser had originated the “flying cargo ship” concept, he did not have an aeronautical background and deferred to Hughes and his designer, Glenn Odekirk. Development dragged on, which frustrated Kaiser, who blamed delays partly on restrictions placed for the acquisition of strategic materials such as aluminum, but also placed part of the blame on Hughes’ insistence on “perfection.” Although construction of the first HK-1 had taken place 16 months after the receipt of the development contract, Kaiser withdrew from the project. Hughes continued the program on his own under the designation “H-4 Hercules” (initially identified as the HFB-1 to signify Hughes Flying Boat, First Design,) signing a new government contract that now limited production to one example. Work proceeded slowly, with the result that the H-4 was not completed until well after the war was over. In 1947, Howard Hughes was called to testify before the Senate War Investigating Committee over the usage of government funds for the aircraft. During a Senate hearing on August 6, 1947 in the first of a series of appearances, Hughes said: The Hercules was a monumental undertaking. It is the largest aircraft ever built. It is over five stories tall with a wingspan longer than a football field. That’s more than a city block. Now, I put the sweat of my life into this thing. I have my reputation all rolled up in it and I have stated several times that if it’s a failure I’ll probably leave this country and never come back. And I mean it. During a break in the Senate hearings, Hughes returned to California to run taxi tests on the H-4. On November 2, 1947, the taxi tests were begun with Hughes at the controls. His crew included Dave Grant as co-pilot, and two flight engineers, 16 mechanics and two other flight crew. In addition, the H-4 carried seven invited guests from the press corps plus an additional seven industry representatives, for a total of 32 on board. After the first two taxi runs, four reporters left to file stories, but the remaining press stayed for the final test run of the day. After picking up speed on the channel facing Cabrillo Beach near Long Beach, the Hercules lifted off, remaining airborne 70 ft (21 m) off the water at a speed of 135 miles per hour (217 km/h) for around a mile (1.6 km). At this altitude, the aircraft was still experiencing ground effect. The aircraft never flew again. Its lifting capacity and ceiling were never tested. A full-time crew of 300 workers, all sworn to secrecy, maintained the plane in flying condition in a climate-controlled hangar. The crew was reduced to 50 workers in 1962, and then disbanded after Hughes’ death in 1976. Display and legacy In 1980, the Hercules was acquired by the California Aero Club, who put the aircraft on display in a large dome adjacent to the Queen Mary exhibit in Long Beach, California. In 1988, The Walt Disney Company acquired both attractions and the associated real estate. Disney informed the California Aero club that they no longer wished to display the Hercules. After a long search for a suitable host, the California Aero Club awarded custody of the Hughes flying boat to Evergreen Aviation Museum. Under the direction of museum staff, the aircraft was disassembled and moved by barge to its current home in McMinnville, Oregon (about one hour southwest of Portland) where it has been on display ever since. The Flying Boat arrived in McMinnville at Evergreen International Aviation on February 27, 1993 after a 138-day, 1,055-mile trip from Long Beach. By the mid-1990s, the former Hughes Aircraft hangars, including the one that held the Hercules, were converted into sound stages. Scenes from movies such as Titanic, What Women Want, and End of Days have been filmed in the 315,000 square foot (29,000 m²) aircraft hangar where Howard Hughes created the flying boat. It also features in the computer Game “Crimson Skies“. The hangar will be preserved as a structure eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Buildings in what is today the housing development Playa Vista, Los Angeles, California. Although the project did not move beyond the initial prototype, the H-4 Hercules was a forerunner of the massive transport aircraft of the late 20th century, such as the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, the Antonov An-124, and the An-225. Performance specifications are projected. - Crew: 3 - Length: 218 ft 8 in (66.65 m) - Wingspan: 320 ft 11 in (97.54 m) - Height: 79 ft 4 in (24.18 m) - Fuselage height: 30 ft (9.1 m) - Loaded weight: 400,000 lb (180,000 kg) - Powerplant: 8× Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major radial engines, 4,000 hp (2,640 kW) each - Propellers: four-bladed Hamilton Standard, prop, 1 per engine - Propeller diameter: 17 ft 2 in (5.23 m) Notable appearances in media In the film The Rocketeer (1991), hero Cliff Secord uses a large-scale model of the Hercules to escape some eager federal agents and Howard Hughes himself. After Secord glides the model to safety, Hughes expresses astonishment that the craft might actually fly. The construction and flight of the Hercules was featured in the Hughes 2004 biopic The Aviator. Motion control and remote control models, as well as partial interiors and exteriors of the aircraft, were reproduced for this scene. The motion-control Hercules is on display at the Evergreen Aviation Museum, next to the real Hercules.

The first Boeing 737 MAX 7 broke cover yesterday at the company’s Renton, Washington factory. The MAX 7 is the third member of Boeing’s 737 MAX family. The jet is designed for up to 172 passengers and a maximum range of 3,850 nautical miles, which is the longest range of the MAX airplane family. Technology improvements allow the MAX 7 to fly 1,000 nautical miles farther and carry more passengers than its predecessor, the 737-700, while having 18 percent lower fuel costs per seat. The MAX 7 is also superior to the competition, carrying 12 more passengers 400 nautical miles farther than the A319neo, on 7 percent lower operating costs per seat. While that’s all very well the A319neo has just 50 or so orders and is largely ignored in marketing terms by Airbus. The first MAX 7 will now undergo system checks, fueling and engine runs on the flight line in Renton. The airplane, the first of two MAX 7 flight test airplanes, will begin its flight testing program in the coming weeks. The 737 MAX 7 is scheduled to enter service in 2019, following delivery to launch customer Southwest Airlines. The 737 Max 7 is short enough not to require a tail stand while at a gate to stop it tipping backwards when loaded.

You may be entitled to a flight delay compensation of up to €600 for your late flight. Fill your flight details below and claim now! When Are You Entitled To EU Flight Delay Compensation? Skycop operates under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 that establishes common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers who experience flight delays. According to the EU regulation, you are entitled to a flight delay compensation if: 1. Your flight was delayed; 2. Your flight was to or from the EU; 3. Your flight delay was the airline's fault. Your delayed flight was from or within EU or arrived to EU and was operated by an EU airline. Your Delayed Flight Was From Or Within The EU Your flight departed from an airport in an EU country and landed anywhere else in the world. Your Delayed Flight Arrived To EU And Was Operated By An EU Airline Your flight was operated by an EU-registered carrier and landed at an airport in the EU. The Delayed Flight Was The Airline's Fault The flight was not able to arrive on time because the airline messed up with the crew planning. Airplane Technical Issues The flight disruption occurred because something broke down in the plane and it wasn’t a manufacturing flaw. Airplane Rotation Issues The plane was late to arrive from previous flight to fly your route. There might be some other airline related issue that disrupted the flight, thus making it eligible for compensation. How Much Can You Get In Compensation For Delayed Flight? Delayed flight compensations are issued in the amount of €250, €400 and €600. Your flight compensation depends on your flight distance - the longer the flight, the bigger the compensation. Up To 1500 Km From 1500 Km To 3500 Km More Than 3500 Km How To Get Delayed Flight Compensation? To claim your delayed flight compensation via Skycop follow an easy three-step process: Submit Your Claim It only takes minutes to finish it! That way you’ll find out your preliminary eligibility – and the size of the compensation. We Fight For Your Rights Our best team of experts will be checking the eligibility of your flight delay claim in depth, contacting the airlines, working with the authorities and so on. Receive Your Compensation Once we receive the compensation, we will transfer the money to you, minus our fee. You don’t pay if we don’t win. How Long Are Compensation Claims Valid? In general, for flights departing from the EU, passengers have the right to claim compensation for flight delays or cancellations within 2 or 3 years from the date of the flight, although this can vary from country to country. What Are “Extraordinary Circumstances”? “Extraordinary circumstances” are events that are not within the control of the airline – for example, bad weather conditions, security risks, airport staff strikes or unforeseen technical problems with the aircraft. Flight Delay Compensation Rules – How Is Flight Delay Calculated? The time of delay that is taken into account when determining compensation is the delay at arrival, not at departure. To be eligible for compensation, your flight must arrive at its final destination at least 3 hours later than scheduled. Right to Care: Food, Refreshments and Accommodation According to your flight delay rights, you are entitled to get free food, refreshments, and accommodation from the airline if your flight is delayed for a certain period of time. This is intended to help cover the additional expenses that may be incurred as a result of the delay. Can Non-EU Citizens Claim Late Flight Compensation? Yes, non-EU citizens can claim late flight compensation. European Commission regulation (EC) 261/2004 applies to all passengers who departed from any airport within the EU or arrived to the EU on an air company registered in the European Union. How Much Does Skycop Charge For A Rejected Compensation Claim? We do not charge anything for a rejected compensation claim. How Soon After My Flight Disruption Should I Claim Compensation? You can file a flight delay claim whenever convenient after your flight disruption – ideally within a year, though this period could be longer, depending on the country. As per the (EC) 261/2004 regulation, there is no universal timeframe for filing compensation claims as it leaves this to each country’s own terms. This can vary from 1 year in Belgium to 10 years in Luxembourg. So, why wait when you can claim compensation now? Was Your Flight Disrupted? Turn your delayed, cancelled or overbooked flight into a compensation up to €600!

IEEEA conformal transverse slotted substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) metamaterial leaky-wave antenna sensor with uniform slots is investigated and analyzed for mmWave sensing applications. Firstly, its planar version is introduced. Then, its performance is compared with the curved SIW antenna. The metamaterial characteristics of the antennas are investigated. The transverse slots on the array forms a composite right/left-handed (CRLH) metamaterial structure that controls the radiation direction as the function of frequency. It behaves like a left handed metamaterial and radiates backward in the lower frequencies of the band (28-45GHz), whereas it behaves like a right handed metamaterial that scans forward direction at the higher frequencies (45-62GHz). Approximately 80° beam scanning is obtained in curved version with acceptable side lobe levels, whereas 110° beam steering is achieved with the planar version. Theoretical analysis and the simulation results are confirmed successfully by the experimental results in the 28-40 GHz band. Besides, a practical example of conformal SIW metamaterial antenna on military helmet made of a ballistic material is illustrated. The calculated spatial peak power density values of the proposed curved SIW metamaterial antenna on the outer surface of a head phantom are demonstrated.

Moon dust that Neil Armstrong collected during the first lunar landing was displayed Thursday at a New York auction house — a symbol of America’s glory days in space now valued at $2 million to $4 million. The late astronaut brought the dust and some tiny rocks back to Earth in an ordinary-looking bag. It’s one of 180 lots linked to space travel that Sotheby’s is auctioning off July 20 to mark the 48th anniversary of the pioneer lunar landing on that date in 1969. The moon dust is the first sample of Earth’s satellite ever collected. The bag has had a storied existence, a decades-long trajectory during which it was misidentified and nearly landed in the trash. About two years ago, it appeared in a seized assets auction staged on behalf of the U.S. Marshals Service. The owner, whose name has not been made public, purchased the treasure and sent it to NASA for testing. After a legal tussle, a federal judge granted the owner full rights over the curiosity. Other items on the block are Armstrong’s snapshot of fellow Apollo 11 astronaut “Buzz” Aldrin standing on the moon, with an estimated value of $3,000 to $5,000. A documented flight plan astronauts used to return to Earth is valued at $25,000 to $35,000. In a photo valued at $2,000 to $3,000, astronaut Gene Cernan from Apollo 17 is seen rolling around in the lunar rover through a valley on the moon. Capping the sale is a touch of humor: The Snoopy astronaut doll that was the mascot of the Apollo 10 crew, at an estimated pre-sale price of $2,000 to $3,000. Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. He died in 2012 in Ohio. The first human to venture into outer space was Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who orbited Earth in a spacecraft in April 1961. Gagarin’s description of the planet — translated from Russian — is being offered as part of his observations on being in space, at an estimated price of $50,000 to $80,000. Calling it “a magnificent picture,” he wrote: “The Earth had a very distinct and pretty blue halo. This halo could be clearly seen when looking at the horizon. It had a smooth transition from pale blue to blue, dark blue, violet and absolutely black.”

How fast is the fastest plane in the world? You won’t believe it when we tell you … When you see how advanced the planes on this list are, you’ll be surprised to hear that many of them were built – or at least conceptualized – in the 1950s and 60s, a time of rapid post-war innovation. But how they could have conceived aircraft capable of such dramatic aeronautical achievements is really mind-boggling. Among the amazing innovations on this list is a plane that can reach speeds of 7,000 miles an hour. 7000! At that rate, you could circle the globe in less time than it takes to watch Lord of the Rings! And that’s not even the fastest plane on this list. 31. Dassault Falcon 7x 615mph The Falcon 7x, one of the fastest private jets on the market, is built by Dassault Aviation. You can credit its extreme speed to its three jet engines, called the “trijet” system. The 7x made its debut flight at the Paris Air Show back in 2005. This long range jet seats up to 20 passengers so you can bring your whole crew! With a top speed of 615 mph, the 7x recently set a new record for the New York to London run in just under six hours. 30. Gloster Meteor 606mph The only jet aircraft the Allies had available during World War II was the British made Gloster Meteor and its groundbreaking turbojet engines. built by Power Jets Ltd. and pioneered by Sir Frank Whittle starting in 1940. It made its debut flight March of 1943 and commenced operations July of 1944. By no means was this an incredibly advanced and sophisticated aircraft, it even earned the nickname “meatbox”. However, it still managed to have a successful career as a fighter plane. It also set the first official air speed record with 606mph.

28 of the most iconic, jaw-dropping photos of the Earth and the moon from space that will make you feel puny and insignificant From the ground, Earth looks like a boundless fertile plain that beckons to be explored and exploited. But astronauts beg and even plead to differ. “People often say, ‘I hope to go to heaven when I die.’ In reality, if you think about it, you go to heaven when you’re born,” Jim Lovell, an astronaut who flew on the Apollo 8 and Apollo 13 missions around the moon, previously told Business Insider. “God has really given us a stage […] on which we perform. And how that play turns out is up to us.” Humanity has recorded photos of Earth from hundreds, thousands, millions, and even billions of miles away. The pictures help scientists study our dynamic world and understand what a habitable planet looks like from afar — a critical part of the search for alien worlds. Most importantly, however, such images of Earth from space underscore our peculiar existence. Carl Sagan, an astrophysicist and popularizer of science, was born on November 9, 1934. He died on December 20, 1996, two years after he famously juxtaposed human history as a bloody struggle upon a mote of cosmic dust in his book “Pale Blue Dot.” In honor of Sagan, take a moment to ponder these 27 arresting images of Earth that humankind has captured from outer space.

The search for ever greener and more efficient propulsion systems continues with game changing breakthroughs in propulsive technologies unlikely in conventional liquid rocket engine systems for the foreseeable future. MARCOM is consequently diligently focusing on the development of propulsion systems, the design of which incorporates and affords both reliability and cost-effectiveness. The MAS-10K liquid rocket demonstrator engine is a forerunner to the CHEETAH-1`s two propulsion systems, the MAS-58K and the MAS-860K, but with refinement. It could also be used as an upper stage apogee motor or as an interplanetary orbital transfer engine. Our repertoire of capabilities include: |Thermal Analysis||Plume Physics| |Component Design||Thermodynamic Cycle Analysis| |Cooling Circuit Design||Base Pressure Analysis| |Injector Design||Aerospike & Advanced Propulsion| The problems associated with traversing the atmosphere and orbital flight require significant deviation from the more common place aircraft flight dynamics models. To overcome these limitations, MARCOM has developed LaunchSIM, a six degree of freedom, flight dynamics simulator. Based on the round-Earth equations and incorporating industry standard wind, turbulence and gravity models, LaunchSIM provides a quasi-real-time environment in which guidance, navigation and control algorithms can be developed and tested to meet avionics system performance requirements. With the addition of complex propulsion, attitude control, staging and actuator models, LaunchSIM provides an invaluable insight into the sequencing of events and dynamic behaviour of any vehicle’s mechanical systems. The plethora of data LaunchSIM provides permits us to complete the design loop by feeding this information back to the system level, propulsion, structures and aerodynamics, to effect design changes and provide for an improved overall design. To control and monitor vehicle performance, we have developed sophisticated graphical user interfaces which provide user-friendly command and control interfaces. Besides giving a real-time assessment of the vehicle’s performance, they also permit the development and training of launch controllers. With the advent of the modern day computer, the study of high speed aerodynamics has become synonymous with the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics. These techniques not only permit the study of complex fluid flows at actual flight Reynold’s numbers and enthalpy levels, they have all but replaced, for certain flight conditions, the need for the astronomically expensive high speed wind tunnel facilities of the 20th Century. MARCOM possesses significant experience in the analysis of these flows extending all the way from subsonic flight regimes to the complex chemically reacting environments encountered during hypersonic reentry of spacecraft. Complementing these advance techniques, MARCOM has also developed simplified, in-house, analytical and computational methods which provide high level, first order design and benchmarking data. The design of any launch vehicle fuselage structure must meet stringent weight requirements in an unforgiving thermal and inertial load environment. These loads are derived from various sources, wind loads on the launch pad, dynamic loads on lift-off, shock loads during staging and payload separation maneuvers and aerodynamic loads encountered during passage through the atmosphere. During the Cold War, the use of carbon fibre matrix composites, possessing excellent strength to weight properties was not an option. Today, carbon-fibre is a matured technology offering significant advantages in strength at reduced weight. Nevertheless thermal constraints due to either heat or cold at various locations, still necessitates the use of higher temperature materials such as aluminium and steel. Designing and developing fuselage structures in commercial solid modelling packages, we use the latest Finite Element Analysis algorithms to characterize the anticipated stresses encountered during launch. In the high dynamic and vibratory environment of launch, these analyses invariably require non-linear transient dynamic techniques.

GPCAPT(AAFC) Paul Gregory Group Captain (AAFC) Paul Gregory joined the Air Training Corps (ATC) as a Cadet at No 18 Flight Mascot, Sydney on 14 April 1963. His Cadet service ended as a Cadet Warrant Officer when he was appointed to the Citizen Air Force (RAAF Reserve) on 21 June 1968 with the rank of Aircraftman in the General Hand mustering. Paul was posted to part-time duties with the Air Training Corps at No 27 Flight Millers Point Sydney, then later back to No 18 Flight at Mascot. When commissioned on 09 August 1971as Pilot Officer in the Special Duties Administration Branch, he was posted to No 2 Flight Sydney Technical High School, Bexley. While at No 2 Flight, Paul was promoted Flying Officer - and the ATC was disbanded by the government of the day. However, in 1975, the Australian Services Cadet Scheme was raised, the ATC became known as the AIRTC, and following promotion to Pilot Officer (AIRTC), Paul became a Flight Commander with the New South Wales Squadron Air Training Corps. He was promoted Flight Lieutenant (AIRTC) in 1981, and in July 1984, was appointed Supply Assistant 1 at New South Wales Air Training Corps headquarters; and then just over a year later, to Staff Officer Supply in September 1985, with the rank of Squadron Leader (AIRTC). Seeing in 1991 the need for a legal entity to control construction of an aviation facility at Camden, and as a general vehicle for the management of non-public moneys, Paul Gregory established the NSW Air Training Corps Association Incorporated, and was its Public Officer between 1991-2004. In 2001, the Air Training Corps (AIRTC) was renamed the Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC). From 1987-2004, Paul rotated through senior leadership team appointments at No 3 Wing headquarters (New South Wales). This included serving as Executive Officer for three Officers Commanding from May 1997 until September 2004, when he was promoted Wing Commander (AAFC) and appointed Officer Commanding of No 3 Wing. In September 2009, Paul was appointed Officer Commanding Logistics Support Wing at the Australian Air Force Cadets National Headquarters. In 2010, he was then appointed inaugural Director Logistics; and in May 2012, became the Deputy Commander. Four years later on 21 June 2016, Paul Gregory was promoted Group Captain (AAFC) and appointed Commander of the Australian Air Force Cadets. Paul has completed formal studies as Master of Commerce (Land Economy) and Master of Dispute Resolution. He is a former Fellow of the Australian Property Institute and Real Estate Institute of New South Wales and a Registered Real Estate Valuer. Paul is married with four adult sons and seven grandchildren.

Comet 73P/Schwassman-Wachmann 3 cannot seem to hold itself together. During a visit to the inner solar system in 1995, the icy dirtball began to fall apart. In April of this year, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope captured an image of the shattered comet on its way back to the inner solar system. The infrared picture provides the best look yet at the crumbling comet's trail of debris, seen as a bridge connecting the larger fragments. The new image is a tantalizing preview of a much larger picture Spitzer will obtain during observations on May 4 to 6, 2006. The telescope's super sensitive infrared eyes will have an unprecedented view of the debris stretching between larger comet chunks.

Kerbal Space Program 2: Everything we know so far Kerbal Space Program 2 was not an announcement that we expected to appear with this year's Gamescom Opening Night Live event, but it's certainly one that caught everyone's eye. This sequel to the much-beloved spaceflight simulator looks to improve upon its predecessor in a great many ways, from multiplayer support to colonisation and interstellar travel. We'll go through everything we know about the upcoming Kerbal Space Program 2 below, from release date information to in-depth trailer analysis, confirmed new gameplay features, and more. Kerbal Space Program 2 release date The Kerbal Space Program 2 release date has been... partially announced. That is, we know it's coming sometime in 2020, most likely in the first quarter of the year. Beyond that, no details have yet been given. What we do know, however, is that when it arrives it'll be coming to Steam as well as potentially "other digital storefronts" according to the press release. Kerbal Space Program 2 trailer - new gameplay revealed This Kerbal Space Program 2 trailer is really quite fantastic, in my opinion. A mashup of beautiful interstellar vistas and glimpses of various new gameplay features that Star Theory Games are bringing to the KSP franchise, it does exactly what a good trailer should do. Check it out below. Kerbal Space Program 2 gameplay features This trailer, and the information that Star Theory Games have revealed to the public so far, has given us a fair idea of what's changing this time round in terms of Kerbal Space Program 2 gameplay. Below we've outlined the main confirmed changes to the original space-faring formula. Construct colonies in Kerbal Space Program 2 By far the most ambitious new gameplay feature that Star Theory Games are adding to Kerbal Space Program 2 is the introduction of colonies. That's right: this time round you're not only in charge of constructing and piloting spacecraft, but you are also responsible for expanding Kerbal territory outwards from Kerbin and the Kerbal System as a whole. We're assured that these colonies will pose numerous challenges, from gathering the resources required to build and maintain everything to the actual construction of "structures, space stations, habitations, and unique fuel types". With time and success you'll even be able to start constructing and launching craft from these colonies as well. Kerbal Space Program 2 Multiplayer and Modding confirmed Another big selling point of the game is that Star Theory Games have confirmed full Kerbal Space Program 2 multiplayer and modding support. Modding was a huge aspect of the original KSP, with in-depth mods appearing very soon after the game was first released in Early Access and consistently pushing the frontier of what was possible further and further outwards, with new parts, new planets, new mechanics, and so on. The prospect of multiplayer is a very exciting one for many KSP veterans. How exactly it will work, Star Theory Games have yet to explain, except that it will remain "true to the spirit of the original Kerbal Space Program". Interstellar travel with new technologies in Kerbal Space Program 2 The introduction of colony-building and a larger selection of things to do on each planet is mirrored by an expansion in just how far out you can travel in Kerbal Space Program 2. Interstellar travel will be possible in KSP 2, using a variety of new parts and "next-generation technology" to ensure your Kerbonauts get there in one piece. I could talk about all the little snippets of new things revealed in the above gameplay trailer, about nuclear propulsion and inertial confinement fusion and so on (actually I couldn't because I haven't a fuckin' clue what those things are) - but thankfully Scott Manley has already broken down the trailer in his excellent video below. These are the things that will allow you to travel across entire star systems in Kerbal Space Program 2. Improved accessibility, UI, tutorials, and instructions We're also assured that the onboarding process will be greatly improved in Kerbal Space Program 2, with a clearer and more intuitive UI, better tutorials and instructions, and a general focus on improving accessibility across the board: "Kerbal Space Program 2 will create a whole new generation of space flight experts who will find themselves accidentally learning rocket science. New animated tutorials, improved UI, and fully revamped assembly and flight instructions allow novel players to quickly put their creativity to the test without sacrificing any of the challenge from the original game." That's pretty much everything we've been able to glean so far on the upcoming Kerbal Space Program 2, but be sure to check back here for all the latest details as they arrive. Kerbolonisation awaits!

Metal laser fusing in the aerospace industry A tool-less laser melting with metals, known as LaserCUSING, solved several problems in manufacturing a model of a reusable space transport system for aerodynamic tests. Lichtenfels, Germany - Unconventional solutions were called for in the ALPHA project, Europe's strategic contribution to the future of manned space travel -- as in, not likely to be created using the methods of the past. The task was to manufacture a model of a reusable space transport system for aerodynamic tests. The decision was made to opt for a hollow body model made from titanium using the LaserCUSING process. For wind tunnel vibration testing, the model needs to be particularly light so that mass forces remain small and rigid, and that elastic deformations remain small. It needs to be thin-walled so that there is enough space for the measurement technology, and consist of a few individual parts to reduce weight. The right answers were promised by tool-less laser melting with metals, known as LaserCUSING. Using just powder, almost created from nothing, this produces sophisticated geometries which were previously unthinkable. LaserCUSING -- made up from the letter C in Concept Laser (www.concept-laser.de), the company that builds the machine, and the word fusing (complete melting) -- generates layer-by-layer buildup in an "island principle" where islands are worked in succession. The patented process producing a reduced stress component that allows solid and large parts to be generated with low distortion. For flow tests on the ALPHA, a scaled titanium model using the LaserCUSING technology was undertaken. The completely closed laser fusing machine for processing titanium eliminated any contamination from air. Before a component is allowed to "fly" in the wind tunnel, it needs to satisfy all quality requirements up to 300%. For this reason, the M2 cusing machine at Germany's Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cologne-Porz-Wahnheide is utilized as a material development platform and workstation in one. For the ALPHA model, a porosity of 0.02% and a surface roughness of Ra 7-8 were obtained after the process. The DLR is focusing strategically on the LaserCUSING process because of the high speed at which parts are built up. As a rule, a component only produces 5% of expenditure, but the test assembly accounts for around 95% of the costs -- thus it is necessary to fabricate high-quality components generatively and modify them very quickly. The high speed of the part build-up reduces the costs enormously and also has a positive effect on the development advantage. One plus point is that the LaserCUSING process offers a high degree of freedom of geometry. The requirements are increasing, both in terms of construction space sizes and with the hybrid parts. Hybrid parts can, for example, be combined with copper and steel parts. The copper is used here for the targeted dissipation of heat. To improve the surface quality, various methods are currently being tested. Systemhaus Technik West of the DLR in Cologne-Porz is the service provider on prototype construction. The partners for the project are DLR and EADS Space Transportation Bremen.

Change 3 9-1 This section describes the aircraft systems emergen- cies that may reasonably be expected to occur and pres- ents the procedures to be followed. Emergency procedures are given in checklist from when applicable. A condensed version of these procedures is contained in the Operators and Crewmembers Checklist, TM 1-1510-223-CL. Emergency operations of avionics equipment are covered when appropriate in Chapter 3, Avionics, and are repeated in this section only if safety of flight is affected. IMMEDIATE ACTION EMERGENCY CHECKS. Immediate action emergency items are underlined for your reference and shall be committed to memory. The urgency of certain emergencies requires im- mediate action by the pilot. The most important single consideration is aircraft control. All proce- dures are subordinate to this requirement. DEFINITION OF LANDING TERMS. The term LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE is defined as executing a landing at the nearest suitable landing area without delay. The term LAND AS SOON AS PRAC- TICABLE is defined as executing a landing at the nearest EMERGENCY EXITS AND EQUIPMENT. Emergency exits and equipment are shown in figure Entry may be made through the cabin emergency hatch. The hatch may be released by pulling on its flush- mounted, pull-out handle, placarded EMERGENCY EXIT - PULL HANDLE TO RELEASE. The hatch is of the nonhinged, plug type, which removes completely from the frame when the latches are released. After the latches are released, the hatch may be pushed in. a. Flight Characteristics Under Partial Power Condi- tions. There are no unusual flight characteristics du- ring single engine operation as long as airspeed is maintained at or above minimum control speed (Vmca). The capability of the aircraft to climb or maintain level flight depends on configuration, gross weight, altitude, and free air temperature. Performance and aircraft con- trol will improve by feathering the propeller of the inop- erative engine, retracting the landing gear and flaps, and establishing the single engine best rate-of-climb speed b. Engine Malfunction prior to or at V1 (Abort). If an engine should fail, or the crew determine that an abort is warranted prior to the aircraft achieving V1, utilize the 1. POWER levers GROUND FINE. 2. Braking As required. 3. Reverse thrust As required. If insufficient runway remains for stopping, perform 4. CONDITION levers FUEL CUTOFF. 5. FIRE PULL handles Pull. 6. MASTER SWITCH OFF. Single engine reversing should be used only with ex- c. Engine Failure after V1. If engine failure occurs after V1, continue the takeoff. Directional control can readily be maintained with rudder. Do not retard the throttle of the inoperative engine, until the propeller has stopped rotating. To do so will deactivate the autofeather system, and the propeller may not feather. As the copilot calls rotate, smoothly raise the nose of the aircraft to an indicated pitch attitude of 7 . After takeoff, verify two positive climb indications, then raise the landing gear. Continue the climb at V2. Do not retract the flaps if they are set to APPROACH for takeoff. Level the aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet above the airport field elevation. Accelerate to Venr, then raise the flaps, if extended. After flap retraction is complete, reduce power on the operat- ing engine to maximum continuous and continue the climb at Venr. Field performance data, as obtained from Chapter 7, is predicted on no power adjustments from the point of brake release to the power reduction at 500 feet.

Humans might not be the first beings to reach deep space after all — instead, it might be robots. In an effort to accomplish some of the major goals the space agency outlined last year — including designing a new exploration system, seeking proposals for deep space journeying and kickstarting initiatives to send astronauts to Mars by 2030 — NASA scientists and engineers are turning to humanoid robots as a way to test out conditions for space travel, serving as a sort of litmus test, and in effect paving the way for their human counterparts. "NASA is counting on robots to setup and care for deep space exploration facilities and equipment pre-deployed ahead of astronauts," said NASA's Langley Research Center scientist Sasha Congiu Ellis in an interview with Phys.org. "Robots are also excellent precursors for conducting science missions ahead of human exploration." Named R5, the 290-pound, six-foot robot — or rather, two robots — currently in development were first used "to complete disaster-relief maneuvers." After being granted to MIT and Northeastern University to compete in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) Robotics Challenge (DRC) by NASA, each robot was (and is) set to be fitted out with more space survival-oriented features and programming, all with the help of a $250,000 yearly grant from the U.S. space agency. According to Northeastern's principal investigator of Athena, Taskin Padir, the university is aiming to outfit its R5 with significant improvements in grasping objects of unknown origin, motion control and human-robot interfacing and interaction — all of which will improve the chance of a successful deep space venture. "Extreme space environments are dangerous for humans. And, robots are ideal for dangerous tasks. NASA already has rovers on Mars. This is an effort to advance autonomy of humanoid robots," Padir told Spaceflight Insider. "We will have a better understanding of when and how humanoid robots will help with future deep space exploration missions as we continue our research and development in this field."

Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind. speed of plane in still air --- x km/h speed of wind ---- y km/h speed of plane with the wind --- x+y km/h speed of plane against the wind -- x-y km/h 5(x+y ) = 3000 x+y = 600 #1 equation 10(x-y) = 3000 x-y = 300 #2 equation add #1 + #2, it becomes so easy. speed of a plane in still air is 450 speed of wind is 150

MAG Aerospace Tactical Operations Center The MAG Aerospace Special Mission Training division enables training for joint terminal attack controllers in both administrative and tactical environments. To provide servicemembers with a realistic sensory experience, the company relies on advanced visual collaboration technology and simulation. After a recent decision to upgrade its tactical operations center (TOC), MAG Aerospace turned to CineMassive to deliver a cutting-edge visual training experience that would educate service members in the most effective manner possible. About the Client Fairfax, VA-based MAG Aerospace is a leader in providing and enabling real-time situational awareness to help its customers make the world smaller and safer. MAG delivers a full spectrum C5ISR services, including integration, operations, training, technical, a specialty aviation services such as special mission training for customers from around the world. The CineMassive system takes our tactical operations center and creates a hyper-realistic training environment with the ability to customize displays and show multiple programs and feeds. It allows every member of the Strike team to build real-time situational awareness and prosecute as if they were working with the same technology they will see when they head down range. Offered through its Special Mission Training division, MAG Aerospace’s Kinetic Strike Training Program bridges a gap in proficiency for JOC-based kinetic strike employment. Most Special Operations Units rely on external entities like MAG Aerospace to provide realistic training simulations for both administrative and tactical environments. The company’s training programs are based on a “train-as-you-fight” philosophy that leverages advanced visual collaboration solutions to prepare men and women to confidently handle conflict in the tactical arena. Over the years, the company’s TOC had gone through several evolutions. What once started as a few screens in a maintenance closet evolved into a much larger and technically advanced facility. However, the visual technology systems within the TOC were not modernly integrated and therefore not functional enough to provide training scenarios with realistic tactical timing. MAG Aerospace decided to upgrade to true visual collaboration technology to become more fully integrated. This would allow them to provide a more realistic sensory experience for users that demonstrated the efficiencies and realism associated with the company’s operations. MAG Aerospace turned to CineMassive to upgrade the visual collaboration system within its TOC. As previous members of Joint Special Operations Task Forces, leadership within the company had experienced the caliber of CineMassive’s offerings first-hand in other theatre operations. CineMassive worked with the company to design an optimal solution that would elevate and strengthen the training experience. The team at MAG Aerospace had a firm idea of what it wanted, and CineMassive validated spatial planning and design feasibility. The company ultimately implemented an eight-panel video wall to provide high definition, multi-source viewing. Additionally, the company implemented CineNet, CineMassive’s proprietary critical visual collaboration platform. This allows MAG Aerospace to easily control video wall content without the need for technical resources. The flexibility, scale, and full integration of CineMassive’s solution allows MAG Aerospace to execute training with multiple teams, including terminal attack controllers, special staff members assigned to operations positions, fire support officers, commanders, and target engagement authority. CineMassive is a professional, responsive, and a caring team. They’ve got a great thing going and the continued support we receive is without competition. Our system is everything we envisioned. It works better than we hoped, and we’re just getting started. The implementation of CineMassive’s video wall and visual collaboration solutions have been instrumental in helping MAG Aerospace create a fully integrated, functional, scalable, and operational TOC. Servicemembers experience a realistic tactical environment that has greatly improved the overall training experience. The ability to easily control content through CineNet has been a game-changer for MAG Aerospace’s Special Mission Training division. The efficiency and ease-of-use is unrivaled and critical to delivering a realistic simulation. It has also helped the company remain compliant with current COVID-19 restrictions. By only needing one screen manager to control content, the solution minimizes the manpower required to run training exercises. Looking forward, the company anticipates future uses for the TOC’s control room and expanding as required to meet the needs of its customers and partners. The scalability of CineMassive’s solution helps open the door to endless growth and expansion possibilities.

This map layer shows how and to what extent states are making use of space. To describe the degree of space engagement by states, we distinguish ten direct and indirect ways of using space (astronauts, human space flight, human planetary exploration, commercial operators, space objects, rocket launches, launchers, space agency membership, space exploration and space station). The map shows how many of each type of use are recorded for each country. It can also be useful to know about membership of multinational space organizations, so this information is listed as a separate category. After all, certain types of use are only available to some countries through their membership of multinational space organizations because, domestically, they do not have the necessary resources and capabilities. The term “objects” refers here to all space objects, although these are mainly satellites, registered with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA). A space probe in operation is classified here as a case of space exploration.

Every two decades NASA has sought to make all manner of changes to improve its safety culture. For example, for the daily space shuttle Mission Management Team meetings after Columbia, the agency moved to a larger room to accommodate more people and replaced a rectangular table with a circular table. The goal was to take what had been an intimidating setting and make it less so for participants to encourage people with dissenting opinions to speak up. With a round table, for example, there was no "head of the table." Microphones were also installed on the back walls for anyone to use. Today, NASA no longer has a monopoly on US human spaceflight. At present, the space agency's only operational means of getting humans into orbit is SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft. Later this spring, Boeing's Starliner spacecraft will start flying. And in about two years, the Orion spacecraft will begin taking humans into deep space. That's three different spacecraft with three different teams of operators. Heflin has a message for the managers at NASA and private companies who are ultimately overseeing these spaceflights. "We have enough examples now of what not to do," Heflin said. "I don't care what it is. If you have someone who is worried, don't slough it off. Deal with it. The program manager is under all this pressure to complete a mission. But you just can't ignore someone who might just have something you really need to pay attention to. You can't allow all of these successes to blind you to things you should pay attention to." The fliers on these vehicles are clearly thinking about the legacy of loss upon the 20th anniversary of the Columbia disaster. NASA Astronaut Stephen Bowen joined the space agency in July 2000 and had completed training by the time of the Columbia accident. Later, he flew three space shuttle missions. In February, Bowen will command the Crew-6 mission aboard Crew Dragon to the space station, marking the ninth launch of this vehicle with humans on board. Challenger, he noted, was the 25th shuttle launch. Columbia was the 113th mission. "It's not routine; it's still a test flight," he said of his Dragon mission. "And I feel confident having spent time with the SpaceX team that they still look at it that way. They're still trying to understand what they've built and where the problems are. Because we all know that to engineer is human. We've made mistakes in every one of our designs. It's just, when is that going to bite us? And can we find it before it does?" Challenger's loss came 19 years after Apollo 1. Columbia's loss came 17 years after Challenger. It's sobering to realize this cadence of accidents on the 20th anniversary of Columbia's tragic loss. Two decades is a generation. So does every new generation have to learn these hard lessons? Let us hope to not have an answer for such a question any time soon. reader comments153 with

The DC-3 was initially developed as a widened sleeper version of the successful DC-2 airliner, being called the Douglas Sleeper Transport or DST. Reconfigured as a straight airliner with 21 passenger seats, rather than 14-16 sleeper berths, it became the ‘Douglas Commercial Three’. With a wider cargo door and greater floor strength, it was further developed into a range of military versions, the most numerous being the C-47. At the time, and crucially also after World War Two, the DC-3 family offered unbeatable payload efficiency figures that enabled profitable freight and airline work. It expanded commercial aviation into new environments, which aircraft had previously not been able to serve for physical or cost reasons. In this Briefing File we consider the technical elements and capability of the DC-3 family, in what proved to be an ideal, balanced design. James Kightly examines the technology that combined to make the DC-3 an unbeatable success

WHITEFISH, Montana — Startup nanosatellite telecommunications constellation operator Sky and Space Global on Aug. 24 said it had converted a letter of intent with an African communications company into a firm contract expected to generate between $10 million and $35 million in annual wholesale revenue for the customer. The revenue potential assumes that Sky and Space Global (SSG), whose first three narrowband voce and messaging communications satellites were launched in June and are now in service, succeeds in launching about 200 similar equatorial-orbit spacecraft starting in 2018. Sat-Space Africa, an IP-connectivity provider based in Mauritius with an operations center in Namibia, had already contracted to use all the capacity on the first three SSG Diamond satellites. It operates iDirect-provided hubs in Britain and South Africa that connect some 1,300 terminals in 27 African nations. Sat-Space Africa already leases capacity on a half-dozen large geostationary-orbit satellites. SSG, whose stock is traded on the Australian Stock Exchange, told investors that Sat-Space Africa expected to generate $500,000 in annual revenue from the three satellites already in orbit, with revenue totals rising to up to $35 million per year once the 200-satellite constellation is operational starting in 2020. SSG is a stem-to-stern New Space enterprise: http://bit.ly/2uNvPzK. It raised 10 million Australian dollars ($7.7 million) following a share placement in May. As of Aug. 24 it had a market capitalization of around 120 million Australian dollars. Its satellites are built by GomSpace of Europe, itself a New Space startup that has knitted together a remarkable list of early customers: http://bit.ly/2rUTmR5 With the first three satellites launched into low Earth orbit in June aboard India’s PSLV rocket and since declared fit for commercial service, SSG is now banking on an on-schedule debut for Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne vehicle, scheduled to debut in 2018. SSG has booked four dedicated launches on LauncherOne, an air-launched vehicle deployed from beneath a converted Boeing 747 aircraft. SSG has said its entire constellation — 200 satellites manufactured, launched and insured — will cost around $150 million.

- Advanced aviation courses offer pilots opportunities to enhance their skills, open new career paths, and gain specialized knowledge. - Courses such as helicopter add-on training, multi-engine rating, instrument rating certification, and aerobatics training provide unique benefits for different goals and interests. - Choosing the right course requires careful consideration of personal goals, the reputation of the institution offering the course, and networking with other aviators. - Investing in advanced aviation education yields knowledge, confidence, and continuous learning and improvement opportunities. The dream of flight is one of humanity’s most potent and enduring fantasies. From the Wright brothers’ historic first flight to the modern marvels soaring across cityscapes, aviation has captivated hearts, sparked imaginations, and become an integral part of global transport and leisure. The allure of the skies is not just the thrill of takeoff and landing; it is the unending expanse of challenges and learning opportunities that keep aviators yearning to climb higher. For those who’ve tasted the freedom of flight and wish to continue their ascent into advanced aviation, the sky is no longer the limit—it’s just the beginning. The Path to Advanced Aviation Proficiency While the first steps into the aviation world often involve obtaining a private pilot’s license, the path does not stop there. Advanced proficiency in aviation is more than just a luxury; it’s a strategic move that opens doors to new experiences and career opportunities. Each new certification or course mastered is a powerful testament to a pilot’s dedication and skill, enhancing their abilities and appeal to professional flying roles. With technological advances and flight regulations, the skillset required to be a top-tier aviator constantly evolves. Courses now go beyond the standard curriculum, covering specialized topics like instrument flying, aerobatics, and multi-engine operation. This not only promises a more thrilling experience for aviation enthusiasts but also reassures them that they can handle a wide range of scenarios when they encounter them. Exploring Your Options in Advanced Aviation Courses Aviation offers many specialized advanced courses tailor-made for pilots who aim to excel in their craft. Whether you’re a recreational flyer looking to add some excitement to your routine or a career-minded individual seeking the fastest track to the captain’s seat, there is a course that can align with your goals. Helicopter Add-On Training Helicopter add on training is a must for those who’ve earned their wings in fixed-wing aircraft and seek to appreciate the poetry of rotary motion. Transitioning to helicopters presents a new set of challenges, from mastering the skills to control a rotating wing to learning about unique flight characteristics and operating in confined areas. This training expands one’s aircraft repertoire and opens up various job paths in fields like medical transport, search and rescue, and aerial photography. Multi-Engine Rating Courses Flying multi-engine aircraft is a significant leap from single-engine planes, offering increased speed, power, and redundancy. Multi-engine rating courses are essential for those with ambitions in commercial aviation or corporate flying, as they provide the foundation for handling complex, high-performance machines. The course highlights the principles of multi-engine aerodynamics, systems, and performance and moves on to mastering critical skills like engine-out procedures and critical when systems fail. Instrument Rating Certification Instrument flight is the backbone of commercial and professional aviation, allowing pilots to fly with precision and safety when visual flight rules no longer apply. An Instrument Rating Certification course equips pilots with the skills to pass by sole reference to instruments, effectively creating a three-dimensional picture of the airspace to operate confidently and safely in all weather conditions. This certification is a significant safety enhancement and a prerequisite for any aspiring professional pilot. Aerobatics and Unusual Attitude Training While the words ‘aerobatics’ might summon images of daring displays and thrilling stunts, the training’s practical application is much more severe. It teaches pilots to safely maneuver and recover from extreme attitudes or stalls, training the muscle memory and clear-headedness necessary for emergency scenarios. This course isn’t just beneficial for airshow performers; it’s an integral part of a comprehensive safety regimen for all pilots. Choosing the Right Course for Your Aviation Goals Selecting the right advanced aviation course is not to be taken lightly. It requires a thoughtful assessment of your current skill level, career aspirations, and personal flying agenda. Each course has its unique requirements, costs, and time commitments, and ensuring that they align with your long-term goals is essential. For example, while helicopter training might be a dream for a rotary-wing enthusiast, it may not be the most practical next step for a pilot whose dream job is flying cargo planes. Similarly, while aerobatic training can be a fun diversion for a weekend pilot, it might not be as high on the list for someone intent on pursuing an airline career. It’s crucial to consider the reputation of the flight school or institution offering the course, the experience and qualifications of the instructors, and the availability of the equipment and facilities needed for optimal training. Networking with other aviators and professionals in your desired field can also provide valuable insights and recommendations that can assist in making an informed decision. The aviation world offers challenges and rewards for those pursuing it, from basic training to advanced courses. Investing in advanced aviation education yields knowledge, confidence, and opportunities. Continuous learning and skill improvement fuel our quest for exploration. Advanced courses can propel your aviation aspirations; as da Vinci said, “Once you’ve tasted flight, you’ll forever walk with your eyes skyward.” Start your journey into advanced aviation realms for a limitless future in the skies.

Tesla is reworking its approach to in-car navigation, and will deploy a "major navigation overhaul" in "early 2018", per Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who shared the news in response to a customer inquiry on Twitter. The maiden launch of the Falcon Heavy, with the Tesla Roadster, is targeted for January from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. See Photos of Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster Inside SpaceX's Falcon Heavy Rocket For anyone that still thought that Musk was joking, he put those thoughts to rest today with a few images posted to Instagram. If successful, the launch will put the auto on a path to intercept the orbit of Mars. "Of course, anything boring is awful, especially companies, so we chose to send something unusual, something that made us feel". "Payload will be my midnight cherry Tesla Roadster playing Space Oddity", Musk wrote on Twitter. Earlier this year, Musk posted a teaser showing how the Falcon Heavy launch might look when it takes place in a matter of weeks. It was later clarified that it'll aim for an orbit around the sun that will, at times, put the vehicle and Mars at equal distances from the sun. "Will be in deep space for a billion years or so if it doesn't blow up on ascent". Falcon Heavy is also up to the task: It can ferry a payload of 37,000 pounds - roughly 14 Tesla Roadsters' worth of mass - to Mars. Doubling down on his mission to never be boring, he also said that the vehicle would be blasting the famous 1972 song Space Oddity by David Bowie. Musk also told Plait that he's willing to consider launching other objects inside the Tesla suggested by the public.

The creative and genius minds behind NASA have announced plans for a new generation of its already famous X-Planes. NASA is looking to continue its streak of innovation at the helm of current needs, with environmental impact at the forefront of the aviation concerns they wish to tackle. NASA continues to impress with innovative design technology Going back decades, NASA has been responsible for numerous developments beyond spacecraft. One may recall their release of such popular items as memory foam (hello, Tempur-Pedic!), scratch resistant glasses and the item that brought relief to diabetics everywhere, insulin pumps. Since the launch of the X-1 plane in 1946, many milestones were reached through this NASA-funded program. The X-1 broke the sound barrier in October, 1947. Along the way, other records have been set, including the creation of planes that could fly at altitudes in excess of 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 meters, as well as planes that could fly three, four, five and six times the speed of sound. David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital returned -2.9% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 8.5% for the S&P 500. According to a copy of the fund's letter, which ValueWalk has reviewed, longs contributed 5.2% in the quarter while short positions detracted 4.6%. Q2 2021 hedge fund letters, conferences and more Macro positions detracted 3.3% from Read More Earth-friendly flying options a top NASA priority Now the agency is looking to fuel the future of aviation using green technology. With the launch of its New Aviation Horizons Initiative, NASA is looking to develop a new generation of X-Planes over the next ten years. Efforts are focused towards the reduction of global carbon emissions. They are attempting to lower or eradicate the use of fossil fuels, something air fleets the world over continue to rely on heavily. As with all projects of this caliber, the process will take time. NASA expects the design and building process of its first new generation X-Plane to take several years. Lockheed Martin on board with QueSST designs Lockheed Martin, who won a $20 million contract this past February, will oversee the project. The team is working to create preliminary designs for NASA’s Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST) ahead of the first flight that is currently set to take off in 2020 (factor pending). The aim of QueSST is to alleviate the sonic boom created when the X-Planes break the sound barrier. NASA is currently only in the planning stages, but if all goes well, it is possible that the world may see faster, quieter and more environmentally friendly options for air travel within a decade.

QUAD-A NEWS: Army to conduct largest drone swarm experiments ever A drone at a Convergence Project event NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Army plans to test new swarming tactics with its largest drone group in a major exercise later this year, a senior officer said April 5. Experimental Demonstration Gateway Exercise 2022 – also known as EDGE 2022 – will feature the “largest swarm of interactive drones to date”, said General Walter Rugen, director of the Future Vertical Lift cross-functional team at the Army at the Aviation Association of America Summit. . The military will preview over 50 technologies at the May event. Last year’s EDGE exercise was conducted in May at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah to prepare for Project Convergence, which is the Army’s experimentation campaign for joint command and control in all domains. . The drones will perform behaviors such as detecting and identifying “stimulation threats” and observing when the swarm has entered a degraded visual environment. Rugen noted that the drones will test their ability to report autonomously outside environments without communication or GPS. The military – which is currently working with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on swarm technology – will also test the drones’ ability to kill targets and assess combat damage, he said. During EDGE, the service will assess how it can use swarming for combat attacks. “I can change my word down the line, but maybe we think sometimes…you might want a pack of wolves,” he said. While drone behaviors aren’t set in stone, Rugen said the swarm could be led by an “alpha” who would control the rest of the drones’ tasks in a hierarchical chain of command. “If one wolf is hit by the antlers, the second will be up,” he said. The swarm leader could be a manned platform, but the service is investigating how a drone could take control of the swarm if it is out of range in denied or degraded environments, he said. “We’re innovating in this space, and we’re seeing what the art of the possible is and that’s very exciting,” he said. Rugen echoed Army Chief of Staff General James McConville’s concerns about inexpensive unmanned aerial systems. McConville said in his April 4 speech that enemy drones will continue to be a threat in the future. The experiment will look at what swarms need to do to gain an advantage over swarms used by adversaries, Rugen said during a media roundtable at the summit. The military will also test electronic warfare capabilities during Exercise EDGE, Rugen noted. “We’re going to see an enormous amount of needle-moving on electronic warfare with electronic sense, electronic attack and all of that to generate that decision dominance,” he said during a summit panel. As with Project Convergence, allies and partners are participating in EDGE 2022 this year, Rugen said. Seven international partners will test equipment alongside the military, including as part of a combined air assault. “We will work on cross-border contingencies and cross-domain solutions to enable these cross-border contingencies to happen quickly,” he said of the air assault exercise.

Decals: Two versions – Royal Flying Corps and United States Air Service Comments: Ex-Aurora kit with raised panel lines; main challenge is painting and rigging; recommend aftermarket decals and detail parts for cockpit The S.E.5a, a fast, box-like, and deadly fighter of the First World War, was a refinement of the Scout Experimental 5, a British scout/fighter designed around the Hispano-Suiza aircraft engine in 1916. The S.E.5 preceded the S.E.5a in operational service by only two months, with the former having its combat debut on the Western Front on April 22, 1917, and the S.E.5a seeing action for the first time the following June, both with No. 56 Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps. The S.E.5a came about as a result of recommendations for modifying the S.E. 5 made by British ace Albert Ball, who took the S.E.5 on its first flight on November 22, 1916. The S.E. 5 had a large windscreen which was unpopular with pilots and was later removed. Ball found the plane too slow, and subsequent improvements led to the S.E.5a being 20 mph faster than the S.E.5. Ball also recommended adding a Lewis gun with a drum magazine atop the upper wing via a Foster mount; he had used this weapon with great success while flying a French Neiuport 17. Augmenting the fuselage-mounted Vickers gun, which was synchronized to fire through the propeller arc, these two weapons became standard armament on the S.E.5a. Although 800 of the new aircraft had been completed by mid-1917, plans to equip an additional six squadrons with the S.E.5a were not realized until the end of that year. The delay was due to a shortage of a sufficient number of Hispano-Suiza engines, a problem that was to plague S.E.5a production throughout World War I. The 200 hp Hispano-Suiza was the best aviation powerplant of its day, and much in demand. Other engines, some even license-built, were substituted in the S.E.5a with poor or even disastrous results. Due to the ongoing supply problems, the Hispano-Suiza was eventually abandoned in favor of the Wolseley Viper engine, which had similar performance. The S.E.5a’s main virtues were ruggedness, speed, and stability. Pilots could literally fly through houses in it, and walk away. One S.E.5a hit the ground at 140 mph after being hit by anti-aircraft fire — the engine flew off its mountings and the fuselage skidded 100 yards, but the pilot was unhurt. While the S.E.5a was fast, it was not a maneuverable as some contemporary fighters like the Sopwith Camel — but unlike the Camel it did not have a tendency to kill off novice pilots. Its steadiness in flight provided a good gun platform, and pilots could open fire at longer range and still score hits. The initial plan for its armament was to have a single .303 caliber Lewis machine gun mounted between engine cylinder banks and firing through the hollow propeller shaft; but this did not prove feasible in production. After Albert Ball’s first flight in the S.E.5, several changes were made to the design, including dropping the engine-mounted gun in favor of a single .303 Vickers machine gun mounted in the top left section of the fuselage, with the gun breech protruding into the cockpit. While the Lewis gun provided significant additional firepower, changing its 97-round drum magazine in flight was no easy task; coping with the 100 mph slipstream over the upper wing while manhandling the gun along the rails of the Foster mount and simultaneously flying the aircraft was challenging; and lack of oxygen often forced pilots to perform this task at lower altitudes. The S.E.5a served with 20 British, one Australian, and two American air units on the Western Front. The British also flew the type in Palestine, Macedonia, and Mesopotamia. It was briefly used in Britain for Home Defense, until it was discovered that because of its water-cooled engine it was too slow to warm up; the Sopwith Camel with its rotary engine could be scrambled much faster. Only two German aircraft ever gave the S.E.5a any serious trouble: the Fokker D. VII, and the Siemens-Schuckert D. IV, both of which appeared in late April 1918. It was generally considered superior to the Albatros fighters and even to the superbly manueverable Fokker Tri-plane; it could not out-manuever the Fokker, but could get away from it at will due to its superior speed. Unlike many of its contemporaries, the S.E.5a was rugged enough to pull out of prolonged high-speed dive without structural damage — a characteristic that only the French Spad is reputed to have matched. Pilots found it easy to fly and very responsive on the controls. Major Edward C. “Mick” Mannock scored 50 of his 73 victories in the S.E.5a, and preferred it to the Sopwith Camel. In all, 5,500 S.E.5a’s were completed before producation ceased, with air forces of other nations, including the United States, Canada, Australia and South Africa operating the type for several years after the war. In Britain, after November 1918, the newly formed Royal Air Force phased out the type fairly quickly in favor of the Sopwith Snipe. Engine: 200 hp Hispano-Suiza or 220 hp Wolseley Viper Armament: One .303 Vickers machine gun (synchronized); one .303 Lewis machine gun Maximum speed: 126 mph at 10,000 feet; 116 mph at 15,000 feet Service ceiling: 17,000 feet Endurance: 2.5 hours Wingspan: 26 feet, 4 inches Length: 20 feet, 11 inches Height: 9 feet, 6 inches Revell-Germany’s 1/48 scale S.E.5a is a simple kit, suitable for modelers of any age. The S.E.5a consists of 28 pieces of tan plastic with raised panel lines, except for the control surfaces, which are engraved. This kit presents an opportunity for detailing with aftermarket parts, since it is surprisingly Spartan – until one considers its origin. The kit box bears a copyright date of 2002, but this is actually a re-boxing of the old Aurora kit initially released in 1956. The cockpit consists of a crude bucket seat that is a bit thick for the scale, and a control stick. Since it is in 1/48 scale with an open cockpit, it’s large enough for a modeler to be sure of seeing most if not all of his aftermarket work, if he undertakes it. I added the following aftermarket extras: a WWI photo-etch instrument panel and a WWI aircraft seat and straps, from two different Eduard sets. The instrument panel set consists of a series of small, individual photo-etch disks representing dials, which can be glued directly onto the tab provided in the kit which serves as the instrument panel. There are individual decals for each dial, which adhere well with a little decal solvent. For the rigging wires I used ceramic wire from Precision Enterprises Unlimited, rather than the khaki-colored thread provided in the kit. Since the kit lacks a windshield, which was a standard fitting on the S.E.5a, I fashioned a windshield from a small sheet of clear acetate. The S.E.5a bears a camouflage scheme using acrylics: Model Master Dark Tan as a base coat, with two shades of olive drab, one by Gunze Sangyo, and a second darker one by Tamiya. The under surfaces are Gunze Sangyo Sky Green. The cockpit interior is painted in both acrylic and enamel, Vallejo Flat Tan and Humbrol Natural Wood. For the tri-color on the rudder I used Model Master paints: acrylic Navy Blue, Flat White (enamel), and acrylic Navy Red. The kit decals are of fairly good quality; they are thin, strong and respond well to decal solvent. My only complaint about them is that the roundels for the upper wing are a little too translucent, and their color does not quite ring true; I used them only because the Xtradecal set I’d intended to use, shattered on impact with water – a bit of a mystery as they were only 4 years old. The S.E.5a bears the markings of RAF No. 74 Squadron, although the unusual camouflage paint scheme it wears is a variation on a scheme used by No. 40 Squadron, which was Australian. This is an excellent kit despite its age due to its simplicity and fairly accurate lines. The Spartan cockpit screams out for detailing, as do the kit’s relatively few parts. It is a nice, easy kit, good for beginning modelers, and still attractive to those with a few kits under their belt due to the opportunity for detailing and rigging. - The Great Book of Combat Aircraft by Paolo Matricardi; VMB Publishers, Vercelli, Italy, 2006. - “Hun Hunter” by John F.

Boeing (NYSE:BA) is in an advanced stage of negotiations with United Continental (NYSE:UAL) over an order for up to 180 narrowbody jets, according to Reuters. The aircraft manufacturer is competing with Airbus for the deal – worth about $15 billion at list prices – and analysts speculate that a split-order is the most likely outcome. If Boeing manages to secure exclusivity, however, it would be the latest in a string of high-profile coups for the manufacturer, continuing a trend which could send its global market share above 40%. Downturn Fails to Dent Demand for New Jets - Boeing Q4 Earnings: Shares Jump On Positive 2017 Outlook - Orders From Iran Help Nudge Airbus Past Boeing In The Final Order Tally For 2016 - What Can We Expect From Boeing’s Q4 2016 Earnings? - Boeing: Orders Fall Short Of Guidance - Can Lockheed’s F-35 Be Replaced? - Boeing Forced To Cut Jobs As Competition And Weak Market Stifles Growth Ongoing economic uncertainty may have forced airlines to cut capacity in recent months, but for aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Airbus there is little evidence of a slowdown in demand. High oil prices have piqued customers’ appetite for more fuel-efficient fleets, leading to several large scale deals throughout 2012 – including a 460-plane order by American Airlines (NYSE:AMR). In the last month alone, Boeing has secured contracts to deliver 50 long-range Boeing 777s to UAE-based Emirates Airlines, and 230 short-haul jets to Indonesian carrier Lion Air. Each deal is worth about $20 billion at list prices, and they include options for several hundred more jets. According to its own conservative estimate, Boeing expects global demand for commercial aircraft to total 33,500 units between 2011 and 2030. Having delivered 1,270 commercial aircraft last year, we believe the manufacturer will capitalize on this growing demand for fuel-efficient models by raising output steadily between now and at least 2018. Our chart below illustrates how its accelerating production line activity contributes to a Trefis price estimate of $90. Defending Market Share Key to Long-Term Growth While aircraft deliveries look certain to rise, Boeing’s market share appears somewhat more precarious. In addition to rising competition from Brazilian, Canadian, Chinese and Russian manufacturers, Boeing remains locked in a head-to-head struggle with European plane-maker Airbus for dominance in the long-haul and short-haul sectors. Both manufacturers have suffered setbacks in the long-haul sector – with the 787 Dreamliner delivering three years late, and the A350 program now delayed by six months – which makes securing a lead in the short-haul market all the more crucial. Given that United operates an Airbus fleet whereas Continental flies Boeing, analysts will be watching closely to see who the newly merged entity favors in its upcoming order. Any advantage to Boeing will set the US manufacturer well on its way to reaching 40% global market share by 2014. This article was submitted as part of our Trefis Contributors program.

Expedition 20 Crew Launches from Baikonur Flight Engineers Roman Romanenko, Frank De Winne and Robert Thirsk of the 20th International Space Station crew launched in their Soyuz TMA-15 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 6:34 a.m. EDT Wednesday to begin a six-month stay in space. Expedition 20 will mark the start of six-person crew operations aboard the International Space Station. All five of the international partner agencies – NASA, the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) – will be represented on orbit for the first time. Romanenko, a cosmonaut with the Russian Federal Space Agency, will command the crew’s Soyuz spacecraft through launch and docking, and serve as a flight engineer for Expeditions 20 and 21. He was selected as a test-cosmonaut candidate of the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center Cosmonaut Office in December 1997. In November 1999, he was qualified as a test cosmonaut. De Winne, a European Space Agency astronaut, will serve as a flight engineer for Expedition 20 and commander for Expedition 21. De Winne spent nine days aboard the station in 2002 as a member of the Odissea mission. Thirsk, a Canadian Space Agency astronaut, will serve as a flight engineer for Expeditions 20 and 21. In 1996, Thirsk flew as a payload specialist astronaut aboard space shuttle mission STS-78, the Life and Microgravity Spacelab mission. Expedition 20 crew members will be welcomed by the Expedition 19 crew, Commander Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineers Michael Barratt and Koichi Wakata, after their docking to the orbiting laboratory, scheduled for May 29. Padalka, a colonel in the Russian Air Force, also will command the Expedition 20 mission and serve as Soyuz commander. He previously served as commander of Expedition 9 in 2004. During Padalka's first stay at the International Space Station, he performed four spacewalks. Barratt also will serve as a flight engineer for Expedition 20. He served as lead crew surgeon for the first Expedition crew to the station from July 1998 until he was selected as an astronaut candidate. In addition to serving as a flight engineer for Expeditions 18 and 19, Wakata will serve as a flight engineer for Expedition 20. Wakata is the first resident station crew member from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. He will return to Earth with the STS-127 crew.

The space shuttle Endeavour made it’s last flight today: a tour of California before heading to its permanent home in a museum. I was fortunate enough to be able to see it as it did a fly by of the Golden Gate Bridge. Endeavour was the last of the space shuttles to be retired. The end of an era. It was a beautiful day and Endeavour didn’t disappoint.

A remarkable video released by the Pentagon shows the moments before a Russian fighter crashed into a $32m US Reaper drone after spraying it with jet fuel on Tuesday morning over the Black Sea. The declassified footage shows an Su-27 Flanker jet making two exceptionally close passes of the uncrewed drone, spraying fuel in front of it, a harassment tactic that US experts say has not been seen before. On the second pass, the Su-27 moves so close to the MQ-9 Reaper that the image briefly becomes pixelated, indicating a collision had happened. When the camera recovers, a bent propeller wing can be seen – damage sufficiently serious for the US Air Force to force the drone down. It fell into international waters in the Black Sea, and senior Russian officials have said they hope to salvage it. The head of US Central Command, General Erik Kurilla, said Russian planes had also become more aggressive towards US bases in Syria over the past two weeks, flying loaded with weapons “in an attempt … to be provocative”. “What we are seeing is an increase recently in the unprofessional and unsafe behaviour of the Russian air force in the region,” Kurilla told the Senate armed services committee. “We have seen a significant spike since about 1 March,” he added. US officials briefed that the footage of the downing of the Reaper drone “absolutely confirms” there was a collision and dumping of fuel – but they added it did not confirm the Russian pilot’s intent and whether it was intended to strike the Reaper. By pausing the imagery it is possible to see that the Su-27 was armed with at least four missiles. The US has said the Reaper was unarmed, most likely undertaking surveillance and reconnaissance related to the conflict in Ukraine. The Pentagon said the footage, which is about 40 seconds long, had been edited by the US military for length but showed events in a sequential order at the end of a sustained period of harassment by two Russian jets. The US has previously said the drone was damaged after a pair of Su-27s had spent at least half an hour trying to disrupt it by dumping fuel on it and flying in front of it. US air force officials said earlier this week that the jets flew close to the drone 19 times, spraying jet fuel on the last three or four times. Russia has denied US accusations that its jets acted recklessly and that its aircraft came into contact with the drone. It insists the drone fell from the sky after making a “sharp manoeuvre” and that it was flying towards Crimea, which Russia has occupied since 2014. The video was released with the following caption: “Two Russian Su-27 aircraft conducted an unsafe and unprofessional intercept with a US Air Force intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance unmanned MQ-9 aircraft operating within international airspace over the Black Sea on 14 March 2023. Russian Su-27s dumped fuel upon and struck the propeller of the MQ-9, causing US forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters.” Justin Bronk, an aviation analyst with the Rusi thinktank, said: “The footage does show two extremely close and unprofessional passes at significant angles of attack, which is in line with the US claims that the Russian pilot involved in the collision was flying recklessly and accidentally collided with the MQ-9.” On Wednesday, the Russian ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, called the incident a provocation. “We are concerned about the unacceptable activity of the US military in the immediate vicinity of our borders,” he said, accusing the US of supplying intelligence to Kyiv. The US had summoned the ambassador over the incident. The MQ-9 Reaper is a large remotely piloted aircraft, 11 metres long with a wingspan of more than 22 metres, and can be armed if necessary. The US Air Force says its primary use is as “an intelligence-collection asset” but it has frequently been used in drone strikes against targets in the ongoing “war on terror”. The defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, and joint chiefs of staff chair, Gen Mark Milley, have spoken to their Russian counterparts about the destruction of the drone.

Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were fixed to computer screens around the globe the last several weeks, staring at live-stream images of a tall, shiny cylinder resembling a grain silo, just off S.H. 4 a stone’s throw from the waves of Boca Chica Beach about 22 miles east of Brownsville. First they watched for the long-awaited static-fire test of the SpaceX Starship SN5’s Raptor engine, a precondition for the inaugural hop of the SN5 prototype itself. After weeks of delays and multiple last-minute aborts, the Raptor finally roared to life at 3:02 p.m. on July 30 for a “full duration” test lasting five or six seconds. The international audience was back again the evening of Aug. 3, hoping to see SN5 blast off, rise to 150 meters (492 feet) as planned, and then alight on a nearby landing pad. The attempt was scrubbed just before 8 p.m., after the 10-minute siren was sounded to warn Boca Chica Village residents that a launch was imminent. SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk tweeted soon after that a “Raptor turbopump spin start valve didn’t open, triggering an automatic abort. We’ll figure out why & retry tomorrow.” The worldwide watch party began again the morning of Aug. 4, with the siren sounding around 11:25 a.m. and another aborted attempt. Musk provided no information as to the cause, but that evening the pad was cleared of personnel and vehicles once again and liquid oxygen vapor soon began venting — again — from the tank farm near the launch stand and then in increasing quantities from SN5 itself. The siren sounded at approximately 6:45 p.m. At 6:57 p.m. the engine ignited in a burst of orange fire, the powerful thrust creating a giant dust plume all around the gleaming SN5. A SpaceX drone video showed the stainless-steel-clad vehicle rising to 150 meters and hovering at altitude for a few seconds atop a diamond-crossed, blue-and-white column of flame — the direction of thrust gimballing constantly to steer and maintain attitude — before setting down again. When the dust had cleared the machine was upright if leaning slightly. It was the first flight of a full-size Starship prototype, and the first launch at Boca Chica since the diminutive Starhopper prototype flew to 150 meters last August. In the last seconds of Tuesday’s flight the SpaceX video switched to a camera within the skirt of the SN5, revealing a flaming blast of thrust as the craft touched down, a control-room voice-over announcing “full duration” as the engine is shut down. “Mars is looking real,” Musk tweeted about half an hour after the flight. His intention is to develop Starship as the reusable spacecraft that will carry humans to Mars — and not just to visit. Musk said human settlements on Mars are a way to ensure the long-term survival of the species. He’s in a hurry, which is understandable considering the challenges in developing the technology. Since concentrating the Starship program on Boca Chica, the company’s engineering and build teams have been going full bore on prototype construction. Although SN5 is fitted with one Raptor engine, subsequent prototypes will be fitted with multiple engines. The design for Starship ultimately calls for the spacecraft to be powered by six engines, while the Super Heavy reusable booster that would propel it into orbit would have 31 engines. Preparations are underway to build the Super Heavy at Boca Chica. The Federal Aviation Administration on May 28 (the day before SN4 exploded on the launch stand) granted SpaceX a two-year license for suborbital Starship testing at Boca Chica. Orbital testing will also have to take place before a Starship ever carries a single passenger, though nobody knows how soon that will be. Meanwhile, several environmental groups have co-signed a letter to the FAA requesting a more rigorous environmental review of SpaceX’s Boca Chica operations than the Environmental Assessment the company currently is conducting. The groups argue that the more comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement review is necessary because of the magnitude of the effect on people and the environment as a result of SpaceX’s decision to develop Starship at the site, rather than its originally stated goal of building a commercial spaceport at Boca Chica hosting less powerful rockets and no more than 12 launches a year.

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Made in Space Zero-G Printer. Its September 19th mission: to 3D print in Zero-G, to “begin the era of off-world manufacturing”, to boldly go where no 3D printer has gone before. With just over half a day until the Zero-G Printer hitches a ride on a rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida to the International Space Station (ISS), where it will begin its first Zero-G experiment. Through a contract with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, Made in Space, Inc. has been working on its one-of-a-kind 3D printer capable of fabricating in the absence of gravity, successfully performing Earthling microgravity experiments on a modified Boeing 727 from Zero-G Corporation and meeting all of the safety and operational requirements outlined by NASA. The possibilities for printing in space could radically shift the way supplies are delivered to the ISS and the way we plan space travel as a whole, according to CEO of Made In Space, Aaron Kemmer, “Everything that has ever been built for space has been built on the ground. Tremendous amounts of money and time have been spent to place even the simplest of items in space to aid exploration and development. This new capability will fundamentally change how the supply and development of space missions is looked at.” Now that the space printer is “go”, it will be sent to the ISS, where it will be installed in the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) and operated by the Made in Space team from a mission control station here on Earth. After installation, the machine will begin printing test objects, including components, tools, case examples, and STEM project models made by students for their 3D Printing in Zero-G Experiment. Made In Space is also in the process of developing business partnerships for 3D printing other objects in space. According to the company’s reddit AMA from last night, one more immediate use for the printer would be to manufacture CubeSats directly on the ISS. Kemmer adds, “There were dozens of specific problems we had to solve in constructing a 3D printer for the Space Station. From thermal process adjustments to rigorous safety requirements, the challenges our team had to overcome were numerous, and we’re deeply proud to see the results of the work done by the Made In Space and NASA MSFC team now head out for a grand field test.” With a build volume of 5cm wide x 10cm long x 5cm tall (about 2″ x 4″ x 2″), the Zero-G Printer will be printing 1.75 mm ABS plastic at speeds of 40 mm/s. The machine is capable of layer thicknesses of up to .25mm and wall thicknesses of 1mm, with a maximum overhang angle of 45° and no support structures. The Made In Space team is already working on their second generation unit, which will be equipped with a larger build volume and the ability to print multiple materials. The plan is to launch the next gen printer in 2015, at which point, businesses, researchers, and others interested in space printing will be able to test the machine out and remotely manufacture objects aboard the ISS. Kemmer reflects on the uses of space 3D printing, “Placing additive manufacturing in space will lead to similar capabilities on every future space station, deep space exploration vehicle, and space colony. Rapid construction of important materials is a critical need if humans are going to establish a greater footprint in our universe.” He continues, “This is more than a 3D printer. It’s more than a machine shop in space. It’s a landmark for humanity. For the first time in the history of our species, we will be manufacturing tools and hardware away from the Earth. Now that we’ve made this breakthrough, the sky is no longer the limit for additive manufacturing – the era of off-world manufacturing has begun.” And to temper that epic statement with a bit of 3D frivolity, I’ll conclude with: 3D, 2, 1, BLAST OFF! You can keep up with the printer and its happenings on Twitter and Facebook and we’ll keep you updated here.

The shift to a zero emission transportation sector will include airplanes. The Air Transport Action Group reports that the global aviation industry produces 2% of all human-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Aviation is responsible for 12% of CO2 emissions from all transportation sources with flights producing 915 million tonnes of CO2 globally in 2019. The airline industry is responding to calls for a net zero transport sector by the year 2050. U.S. based Universal Hydrogen is developing a conversion kit that will include a fuel cell and electric powertrain to replace conventional turboprops. On July 15, 2021, Universal Hydrogen announced three LOI’s with Icelandair Group (Iceland), Air Nostrum (Spain) and Ravn Air (Alaska) for the purchase of the kits to convert ATR 72-600 and Dash 8 turboprop airplanes to hydrogen propulsion. Work to connect hydrogen production to airports where it is needed will follow. In Canada, Airbus SAS and the Province of Québec have announced a joint effort with Canadian aerospace companies and research institutions to bring sustainable aviation fuel to market. Airbus and the Government of Québec became the sole owners of the A220 programme in February, following Bombardier’s transfer of its interest in Airbus Canada in 2018. Related to efforts in Quebec, Air Transat and Hydro Québec are among the corporations comprising Montreal based SAF+ Consortium, working to build a factory to produce alternative fuel. The consortium is engineering a fuel cell which uses captured carbon dioxide synthesized with renewable hydrogen. Earlier this year in May, Air Canada announced the first agreement in Canada to reduce the carbon impact of air travel. Air Canada and the Edmonton International Airport have entered a partnership to reduce carbon emissions and advance a green aviation sector. Through their sustainability partnership, the organizations are working together to test emerging green technologies to foster environmental innovation including the electrification of aviation equipment and hydrogen fuel cell technologies. Air Canada looks set to achieve its commitments to reduce emissions by 20% from flights and 30% from ground operations compared to 2019 levels by 2030 and to net zero emissions from all operations globally by 2050. Today, the government of Canada and the Province of Québec have announced collective funding in the aggregate amount of $685 million for three companies committed to reducing CO2 emissions in the aviation industry. Pratt & Whitney Canada, working with DeHavilland Aircraft of Canada, will receive $69.5 million to fund its efforts to develop hybrid-electric propulsion technology. Bell Textron Canada is developing environmentally friendly aviation technology, including an electrically distributed torque system for helicopter tails and will receive $275 million. CAE Inc. is launching Project Resilience, a $1 billion research and development program to develop future aviation technologies and will receive $340 million of the Canadian funding. As excitement surrounds the electrification of cars and buses and the use of hydrogen to fuel heavy transit- trucks, trains and ships, don’t forget to look up. There are blue skies ahead! Universal Hydrogen aims to speed up the introduction of hydrogen for smaller regional airplanes to 2025 by using fuel cells fed by modular hydrogen capsules to replace their turboprop systems.

Where is the space shuttle Discovery right now? Discovery is now in its new permanent home, the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. When did NASA transfer Discovery to the Smithsonian? April 19, 2012 On Thursday, April 19, 2012, the Smithsonian received from NASA the space shuttle Discovery, which will take the place of the Space shuttle Enterprise at the National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Where did the space shuttle Discovery land? NASA’s Kennedy Space Center – Space shuttle Discovery and its six-astronaut crew ended a 13-day journey of more than five million miles and concluded the spacecraft’s illustrious 27-year career with an 11:57 a.m. EST landing Wednesday at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Which museum has the space shuttle? the National Air and Space Museum Space Shuttle Discovery is on display at the National Air and Space Museum, which is a part of the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. What space shuttle is at Kennedy Space Center? NASA Space Shuttle Atlantis NASA Space Shuttle Atlantis | Kennedy Space Center. Which NASA shuttles blew up? After the disaster, Space Shuttle flight operations were suspended for more than two years, as they had been after the Challenger disaster….Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. |STS-107 flight insignia| |Date||February 1, 2003| |Location||Over Texas and Louisiana| |Cause||Wing damage from debris during launch| How many times did Space Shuttle Discovery Launch? The longest-serving orbiter, Discovery flew 39 times from 1984 through 2011 — more missions than any of its sister ships — spending altogether 365 days in space. Discovery also flew every type of mission during the space shuttle era and has a record of distinctions. Why are space shuttles not used anymore? While reentering Earth’s atmosphere, Columbia broke apart, killing the entire crew. All of these factors — high costs, slow turnaround, few customers, and a vehicle (and agency) that had major safety problems — combined to make the Bush administration realize it was time for the Space Shuttle Program to retire. How many space shuttles have been lost? The space shuttle program was retired in July 2011 after 135 missions, including the catastrophic failures of Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003 that killed a total of 14 astronauts.

Click video to play. Problems on iPhone? Turn your phone sideways. An aviation emergency can happen fast with a high potential for mass casualty, so that’s why airports need the best of the best — a special category of highly skilled firefighters who specialize in Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting, known as ARFF. These professionals typically come from the military and can handle the response, hazard mitigation, evacuation and possible rescue of passengers and crew of an aircraft involved in an emergency. In this LoCO Video Report we take you to the Arcata/Eureka Airport to find out more about our local ARFF team, the advanced equipment they use, and the status of a new ARFF operations building. Humboldt’s aviation program coordinator, Emily Jacobs says, “Essentially the airport shuts down without one of these gentlemen here making sure our emergency services are covered.” And to top it off, Humboldt’s ARFF team also does all the aviation fueling, safety, security, navigation, the runway lighting, and facility and hangar maintenance. Plus there’s only six of them and they maintain all six of the county’s airports, not just ACV. Their official title is airport service worker — although the name doesn’t do them justice. Jacobs adds, it’s an immense amount of responsibility. “They’re also required to staff the ACV 20 hours a day. Flights that are late, they’re here longer, often all night long. They have to be here ready to respond to any spot on the airport within minutes if anything should happen.” And if anything does happen, the ACV is equipped an Oshkosh Striker 1500. Which is a million dollar advanced ARFF vehicle. “The truck carries 1,500 gallons of water, 210 gallons of AFFF, which is foam - so you have the ability to put water but - more than likely in the aviation community you’re going to have fuels, oils, hydraulic fluid - you’ll use foam also,” said airport service worker supervisor Martin Stockton. “So what it does is create a blanket that removes the oxygen and starves out the fire. It also has 500 pounds of dry chemical that you can use if needed.” Plus it’s got a caterpillar C16 engine, can hit 50 miles per hour in less than 25 seconds, has an infrared camera, and it can be safely operated by one person. But this thing is so massive, it can’t even fit in ACV’s current fire facility. So with that being an issue, along with the airport’s most important emergency personnel working out of the old, outdated building, that’s also far from the airfield, a new fire facility is a high priority for Humboldt’s Aviation Division. The project has been completely designed and was estimated to cost $5.3 million, but the two bids that came in are over that amount. One from local company Danco at $5.9 million, and the other from Hal Hays out of Riverside for a whopping $8.2 million. Public Works is now reviewing the bids and then they’ll be sent to the Federal Aviation Administration for a final review. If all goes as planned, the FAA will award funding for the project. You can find detailed blueprints on the proposed facility here.

Ever felt the need for more horsepower. The RS-25 engine has more that you need. 12 million horsepower. Fuel pumps that could drain a swimming pool in a minute. 200 Horsepower/kilogram power to weight ratio. One blade of its turbine produces as much horsepower as a Corvette ZR1 You may find it hard to fit on your bike though. The SR-25 ex space shuttle engines are being tested with the goal of using them on the new Space Launch System (SLS). While the shuttle engines were re-usable they will be single use on the SLS. Current testing is aimed at peaking the performance and simplifying the design for single use roles. RS-25 Meeting the Need for Speed.

November 11, 2009 Dec. 13 - Not much appears to be happening with the Sweepstakes Bonanza these days. The supplemental type certificate application process for the Meggitt electronic flight information system (EFIS) installation is continuing, but this part of the process consists mostly of creating configuration drawings and proving compliance with the certification requirements, rather than actually applying wrenches and soldering irons to components. STC approvals can take a while. Both AOPA and Meggitt/S-Tec planned to have finished this project and gotten on with our Christmas shopping by now. But it hasn't happened, so we will press on. In fairness to Meggitt/S-Tec, we kept changing the schedule on them, and kept insisting on flying the Bonanza somewhere to show it off to the potential winners. One thing is sure, though, with the sparkling new paint job, jam-packed instrument panel, and soft leather interior, you can bet that the Sweepstakes Bonanza is best looking hangar queen in the Meggitt/S-Tec hangar.

Help! I can't make the PA28 Fly My apologies if this has been covered and I'm overlooking something simple, but I cannot get the Piper to fly in MSFS. The flight model is set to "modern" The sensitivities are linear I've messed with everything I can think of, and no matter what happens, the trim wheel simply doesn't work. I can't operate it with the mouse, and my Honeycomb Bravo wheel does nothing. The plane essentially can't stay airborne after takeoff - no amount of back pressure will bring up the nose. On the ground, with all avionics off (cold and dark) the trim wheel works fine. As soon as the aircraft gets power, it "twitches" back and forth and can't be moved. I thought this was the phantom autopilot bug, but I can't stop this from happening. I even pulled the circuit breakers for the AP and this did nothing. I'm very disappointed, but I want to try to make this work. Please help me to not regret my first third-party addon purchase in a very long time! (old X-plane 10 flyer). With so many reports of great flights, I know it must be me, but I can't sort this one out. Thanks in advance! @Quantum-Broccoli Have you turned off choke, tie-downs and tow bar on the “iPad” screen? Yep! To be clear, I can get off the ground... it's when there is air under the wings that it all goes bad. But, I did find the problem/cause! My Bravo was set to VS, and for some reason this freezes the trim, even when AP is not enabled. Since there are a lot of issues with the switches and inputs on the Honeycomb products, I’m going to assume this is the problem. If I rotate the knob on the Bravo to ALT, the problem goes away. Had my first successful flight! The frown is turning into a grin slowly… hopefully they’ll fix the Honeycomb switch issues as well as the other bugs listed in this forum. I noted that I have to adjust excessive elevator trimming in order to maintain control with the joystick (Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick). In my experience, the need for trimming with this aircraft is out of proportions in comparison to other default aircraft. We would not want to adjust controller settings just for one aircraft. The developer of the aircraft should have a look at this odd behaviour. @Quantum-Broccoli there's only issues with HC alpha and bravo switches if you bind them in the sim, don't bind anything other than camera views and do the rest in something like Spad.next and all your problems with be gone. Whilst this is not a support forum, please submit all bugs to the below link If you haven't already, please take a look at the FAQ for this aircraft below

MAVEN Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer While NASA rovers, landers, and orbiters have scrutinized the surface of Mars for decades, a key question to understanding the Red Planet's ancient habitability has hitherto gone unanswered: what happened to its atmosphere? NASA's MAVEN spacecraft will fill in this gap in the history of Mars, thanks in part to its Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer, or NGIMS instrument. By studying the interaction of neutral gases and ions with the solar wind, NGIMS will observe current atmospheric escape processes on Mars and allow scientists to extrapolate back to the ancient atmosphere. The results could tell scientists just how long Mars was warm, wet, and hospitable, refining our understanding of its early potential for life. MAVEN will use its Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer to study the interaction of neutral gases and ions in the Martian atmosphere with the solar wind, helping scientists to understand how Mars has lost its atmosphere over time.

LOCKPORT, N.Y. -- While 100 members of the 914th Air Fore Service Airlift Wing were greeted with smiles and hugs Sunday, their homecoming also came with some sadness. It was the last homecoming three of the unit's C-130 Hercules aircraft would ever see after more than 40 years with the unit. Families and friends waited to greet members of the unit who arrived with the C-130 cargo planes at the Niagara Falls airbase Sunday after they spent four months supporting US special forces and others involved in the military efforts against ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq. The unit is preparing for a transition next year to new mission flying KC-135 aerial refueling planes. "The C-130s have served this unit well," said 914 AW Commander, Col. Brian Bowman. "As we await the many changes and innovations that will affect this installation in the future, it's important for us to reflect on this occasion and congratulate our heroes on a job well done."

Qantas regional carrier Sunstate Airlines has taken delivery of a new Dash-8 Q300 series aircraft, the first of its kind to operate in Australia. The 50-seat aircraft from the Bombardier plant in Canada, will operate existing twice daily services between Cairns and Horn Island, existing weekday services between Townsville and Cairns and Cairns-Hamilton Island services on Saturdays. Sunstate Airlines General Manager, Ashley Kilroy, said the aircraft was valued at more than $A17 million and represented a significant investment in the region. “It is the largest operating on the Cairns-Horn Island route and will provide a much-needed boost in seat capacity during peak periods,” Mr Kilroy said. “This development reaffirms the Qantas group`s commitment to northern Queensland and the Torres Strait,” he added. Mr Kilroy said the aircraft featured a hi-tech noise reduction system known as Noise Vibration Suppression (NVS), offering one of the quietest cabins of any turbo prop aircraft operating. The introduction of the new aircraft supports Sunstate`s recently expanded frequency and capacity between Townsville and Cairns and the new Cairns-Hamilton Island services which are now operating daily. Mr Kilroy said the Dash-8 Q300 series aircraft also featured cabin service by two flight attendants and brought Sunstate Airline`s fleet to a total of seven Dash-8 aircraft.

Bringing the latest in satellite technology across the globe. For the third time around, Space Exploration Technologies Corporation has been chosen by NASA to launch the next commercial cargo resupply mission which will take place on the 1st of March. SpaceX will be using its Dragon capsule to carry out the mission. The spacecraft is expected to arrive at the Space Station on March 2, where it will proceed on providing 1,200 pounds of payload, including supplies for astronauts, equipment and scientific experiments. Among the experiments in the mission are numerous payloads from commercial space company Nanorack. This includes various payloads from high schools and self-funded projects. On March 25, the Dragon spacecraft will return to Earth, carrying with it a payload of 2,300 pounds worth of equipment and experiment samples from the Space Station. SpaceX has additionally signed contracts with the U.S. Air Force for two launch missions in 2014 and 2015, and a contract with Spacecom to launch their AMOS-6 satellite in 2015. Recommended additional reading: Intelsat Global Holdings S.A. will buy a ride for a future communications satellite on Space Exploration Technologies’ planned heavy-lift rocket, the companies said on Tuesday. The contract is the first for a Falcon Heavy rocket, which is being designed to carry more than twice as much as the Boeing-built Delta 4 Heavy launcher, which is currently the biggest rocket in the U.S. fleet. Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, has said it expects to sell Falcon Heavy flights to commercial customers for about $100 million.

We were told one day, "Look all the air crew will gather in a room on a place called Wing," in Buckinghamshire, I think it was. Or, I'm not sure, but I think Buckinghamshire or Bedfordshire. "All air crew will assemble here." When we got there, they said, "Alright, crew up. Two gunners, a wireless operator, a navigator, a bomber and a pilot." So the first thing to do was find a pilot. And I was the last one to find a pilot, and I chose this elderly bloke. Most of the other fellows had chosen young daring blokes. I was looking for a nice steady guy, and I chose a bloke called Jim Robson from Perth. He was then a flying officer and I had done about, oh, nearly 400 hours flying by then. And I thought I was pretty experienced, and I said, "If you're the last bloke, so I got you as a pilot." I said, "But I'm fairly experienced. I've got nearly 400 hours." He said, "I've got seven thousand hours." He'd been in England quite a while before me and he'd been an instructor flying, training pilots on Tiger Moths, and so he was a very experienced pilot. And a very good pilot, too. So I chose, well he chose me or accepted me, really. And then he said, "Well, I've got a navigator," and that was a lad from Kent, and he was a wonderful navigator. Probably the best one in squadron. And then he already had two gunners. One bloke had been a Yeoman of Signals in the Navy. Another lad was a Londoner, and one came from Derby. And so we finished up with a crew of seven. And then we started flying together, and on our first flight, I think, at Wing we burst a tire approaching. And that was a bit of an adventure, holding the plane still. And we went from there to flying on Sterlings and Lancasters … when I look back, I think the Lancaster was probably the best aircraft, or one of the best aircrafts that was ever built. It's a wonderful plane.

The International Space Station (ISS) mission managers are preparing for an unplanned spacewalk on or after Monday. The spacewalk will be done by Astronauts Scott Kelly and Tim Kopra, who had arrived on the station on Tuesday. The three-hour spacewalk will be the 191 in support of maintenance and repairs to the farthest manned outpost of mankind. Kelly will be conducting his third spacewalk in the current year while it will be the second for Kopra who arrived at the space station on Tuesday. The unscheduled spacewalk will be conducted from the US Quest airlock on the ISS just before the start of the holidays. The emergency spacewalk was necessary because of a stalled mobile transporter rail vehicle – used to position the station’s robotic arm. The stall happened on Wednesday when the robotic arm had moved just 4-inches said the United States space agency in a statement. According to Kenny Todd, the station’s Mission Integration and Operations Manager in Houston, the stall could have been caused by a stuck brake handle. The transporter had the last stuck in December 2005 when a cutting system had accidently cut the power and data cables. The trash-filled Progress 60 (60P) undocked 7.35 a.m. UTC and re-entered the atmosphere a couple of hours later in a fiery end over the Pacific Ocean. The Soyuz TMA-19M is docked to the Rassvet module. The section of the ISS where the Progress craft was docked will remain empty till a new delivery spaceship arrives and docks to it filled with science and supplies replenishing the Expedition 46 crew. The stuck cargo transport rail car outside the International Space Station will have to be freed to allow for the arrival of a supply ship two days later. NASA spokesperson Kelly Humphries said, the ISS Mission Management Team will try to conduct the Spacewalk on Monday or will take an extra day and conduct the spacewalk on Tuesday. The newly refurbished Russian Progress MS resupply craft will dock with the Pirs docking module at 5.31 a.m. EST.

Analyst: Boeing's hopes fading for tanker win After an inadvertent peek at Defense Department data, Boeing executives believe the Air Force is likely to award the long-awaited tanker contract to Airbus parent company EADS, according to a leading defense analyst with close ties to Boeing. Seattle Times aerospace reporter Following an inadvertent peek at Defense Department data, Boeing executives believe the Air Force is likely to award the long-awaited tanker contract to Airbus parent company EADS, according to a leading defense analyst with close ties to Boeing. That view of the feeling inside Boeing is confirmed by two congressional sources familiar with the $40 billion tanker competition. Citing conversations with several unnamed senior Boeing officials, Loren Thompson of the Lexington Institute said Monday the company's hopes faded when Air Force analyses of the two contending airplanes were accidentally leaked to both sides earlier this month. Those analyses confirmed Boeing's worst fears, Thompson said. They showed the Airbus A330 tanker scoring well ahead of the Boeing 767 tanker in a mission-effectiveness rating. "The conclusion you come to is that probably Boeing is going to lose this," said Thompson, who has written papers supporting the Boeing bid. The effectiveness rating is one of three measures used by the Air Force to adjust the bid price for the airplanes. The two others are assumed to favor Boeing's smaller aircraft — military infrastructure construction costs and fuel burn over the entire life-cycle of the program. But Thompson, backed again by the congressional sources, said the way the Air Force measured those criteria gave Boeing very little advantage over its rival. "Boeing has told me many times over the last year that the way the Air Force was calculating the cost of fuel and infrastructure had the effect of minimizing the life-cycle costs of the larger plane" from EADS, Thompson said. "They are not very happy with the way in which those things have been calculated." A congressional source said Boeing believes the Air Force has underestimated the projected cost of jet fuel in the future, thereby lowering the life-cycle fuel costs. And it has chosen 10 airfields for the military infrastructure analysis that Boeing considers unrepresentative of typical space constraints, lowering projected construction costs also. Much therefore depends on the mission-effectiveness rating, a score derived from a computer model known as IFARA (for Integrated Fleet Aerial Refueling Assessment) that simulates operational tanker missions. IFARA rates each airplane's capabilities as a tanker: how much fuel it delivers, how far it flies, how long it can stay on station. It was always clear that the larger A330 would score better than the 767 by this measure. Earlier this month the Air Force mixed up two computer disks and sent the two companies the IFARA outcome for the other airplane. EADS opened the IFARA data on the Boeing tanker. While Boeing realized the mistake sooner and sent back the disk without opening the file, the Air Force afterward decided to level the playing field by providing both sides the IFARA data on the other side's plane. "When (Boeing officials) saw the ratings for the two planes, I think they became downright alarmed," said Thompson. A congressional source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the data reinforced a growing pessimism among Boeing executives as to the outcome. "The confirmation of where they stood on IFARA pushes it over the top," said the congressional source. Another congressional source said that some Boeing supporters are pushing to have the IFARA measure discounted altogether because of the disk mix-up that revealed the data to both sides. However, this seems very unlikely and would certainly draw a formal protest from EADS. Boeing's supporters in Congress have also tried to insist that the Air Force add billions of dollars to the EADS bid price in response to a World Trade Organization (WTO) ruling that Airbus had benefited from illegal government subsidies, including money that directly funded development of the A330. But the consequences of the subsidies ruling must ultimately be worked out in a WTO process likely to last years, and the Defense Department has repeatedly said that it cannot legally penalize EADS in the interim. Absent a financial penalty in the tanker competition, EADS will likely underbid Boeing, according to the second congressional source. Thompson's position was first reported over the weekend by the Press-Register in Mobile, Ala., which is where Airbus plans to build a final assembly facility if it wins the tanker contract. Both Boeing and EADS declined to comment Monday. Dominic Gates: 206-464-2963 or [email protected]

Raytheon’s SM-6 Moves to Full-Rate Production Raytheon Company’s Standard Missile-6 program has moved from low-rate to full-rate production, clearing the path for significantly increased production numbers and focus on further cost-reduction opportunities. SM-6 is a surface-to-air supersonic missile capable of successfully engaging manned and unmanned aerial vehicles and fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. It also defends against land-attack and anti-ship cruise missiles in flight. The first full-rate production round was delivered to the U.S. Navy from Raytheon’s state-of-the-art SM-6 and SM-3 all-up-round production facility at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala. Prior to final assembly, a majority of the SM-6’s section level assembly and testing development took place at Raytheon’s subsystem center factory in Tucson, Ariz. Raytheon has delivered more than 180 missiles to the U.S. Navy, which deployed SM-6 for the first time in December 2013. Image: US Navy

Would the lost Malaysia Airlines jet be found if Northrop Grumman’s Triton unmanned search plane was in the hunt? San Diego executives aren’t quite ready to say that. But the MQ-4C Triton drone, which at 68 aircraft would become the defense giant’s largest unmanned-vehicle program ever, is destined to take over part of the work of the Navy’s P-3 Orion and P-8 Poseidon search planes, which have been combing the Indian Ocean for Flight 370. The Triton — engineered and designed by 800 people in the company’s Rancho Bernardo campus — is on the ascent to become one of the Navy’s most-used drones. And it represents another big step by the Navy into the world of unmanned aviation. The Pentagon’s proposed 2015 budget includes money to buy 16 Tritons over the next five years. That’s a good thing for Northrop Grumman, because the budget also indicated a five-year deferral of purchases of the company’s MQ-8 Fire Scout, the Navy unmanned helicopter that is also designed in Rancho Bernardo. The Fire Scout landed on the back burner because its fate is somewhat tied to the Navy’s littoral combat ship program, which was slashed from 52 to 32 ships this year. Defense analyst John Pike of globalsecurity.org doesn’t see any similar dark clouds on the horizon for the Triton, which will be used to give Navy commanders a better picture of what’s going on at sea. “The (Pentagon’s) pivot to the Pacific is certainly going to increase the salience of maritime surveillance,” Pike said. “And, anti-piracy. They finally managed to abate the Somali pirates. But if they stop abating them, they will spring right back, won’t they?” So the Triton will be a boon for Northrop, which named San Diego as the home of its Unmanned Systems Center of Excellence in March 2013 and moved related operations from New York and Florida. The aircraft is a souped-up version of the company’s Global Hawk, the high-flying surveillance plane used by the Air Force since the early 2000s. The Global Hawk’s turf is 60,000 feet, where it can fly for more than 30 hours and capture images of what’s happening on land below. The Navy needed its version to be able to go from 55,000 feet to as low as 5,000 feet. The idea is that if operators spot something from the bird’s-eye view, they can make the drone dip down for a better look. “What happens is, we can see a target at altitude, which gives size and outline at 50,000 feet. Most are easy to define as friend or foe,” said Michael Mackey, Triton program manager for Northrop Grumman in San Diego. If the object needs further identification, the plane will dip lower to use its electro-optical camera to beam images to a base station. “You could see small ships. People would like to know that small ships are maybe coming into protected ports — maybe somebody coming up next to an aircraft carrier, right?” Mackey said. “You could even, depending on where you are and what you are doing, you could see a jet ski.” To make that happen, Northrop engineers had to strengthen the wings considerably, beefing up the spars inside to withstand the physics of the dip. They also made the aircraft tough enough for the intense weather that often happens at sea. And they added a newly developed, 360-degree sensor that doubles the amount of area the plane’s “eye” can take in. The jet-powered Triton is one of the largest unmanned vehicles flown by the U.S. military. It has a wingspan of 130 feet — roughly the same as a Boeing 737 airliner. But the kidney bean-shaped body is a mere 48 feet long, prompting insiders to call it a flying wing with gas. The stronger wings added weight, and the trade-off is less fuel. The Triton will have a roughly 24-hour flying endurance, compared to more than 30 hours for the Global Hawk. Still, the new P-8 Poseidon gets only four hours on station after traveling up to 1,200 miles, according to its specifications. The Navy is replacing its aging fleet of P-3 Orion search planes with a combination of P-8s and Tritons. P-8s carry a crew of nine people. The Triton will be operated by a four-person ground crew that may be located at one of various bases around the world. Originally called the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Demonstrator, the Triton program began in 2008, with a stop and then a restart after Lockheed Martin appealed the Pentagon’s contract award to Northrop, arguing that its lower-cost proposal was just as good. Three Tritons have been built. All are at Northrop’s production site in the high desert of Palmdale. One aircraft performed its first test flight in May 2013, and in March passed a major milestone called “initial envelope expansion,” which means the plane is cleared to fly at various altitudes, speeds and weights. The original trio is slated to go to Patuxent River, Md., for Navy testing, and two more Tritons are in production. In late 2017, the first Tritons are expected to reach early operating capability. By early to mid-2018, Northrop hopes to achieve the all-important initial operating capability, which means the first Tritons can be deployed. By building four to six Tritons at a time, Northrop will likely finish all 68 by 2020 or 2021, Mackey said. The $13.5 billion program is not without its bobbles. According to a March report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the air-to-air radar system that will enable Triton to sense and avoid other aircraft has faced developmental delays and cost overruns. As a result, the Navy ordered work to be stopped on the radar system in April 2013 and is currently examining alternatives. The GAO report also said the program has been delayed a year by design adjustments needed to ensure airworthiness and software stability issues. The Navy decided to reprioritize the program's production funding this fiscal year. The cost per plane now stands at $193.5 million, according to GAO figures. Back to the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner. In recent weeks, two Navy P-8s have taken off from a base in Australia on a daily search of the ocean for potential Flight 370 debris. They fly between 900 and 1,500 miles to the search zone and then spend about five hours combing the waters until they have to turn around, according to news reports. The Triton could hang for at least three times as long, according to Northrop Grumman. Could that make the crucial difference on a future search? “I think we would greatly increase the likelihood by the capability we provide and the endurance we bring,” Mackey said. Pike said: “This time-on-station issue has been very visibly demonstrated in recent weeks.” [email protected] (619) 293-1030 Twitter: @jensteeley Comparing three military drones The Navy has announced plans to purchase more than 60 of Northrop Grumman’s new Triton drone, a modified version of the Air Force’s Global Hawk drone. Here is a comparison of the Triton to two popular military drones: An armed multi-mission, medium-altitude drone. It can perform a variety of roles, including intelligence collection in support of strike, coordination and reconnaissance missions. MQ-8 Fire Scout Designed to operate from certain ships, the Fire Scout can take off and land vertically. Its purpose is to provide situational awareness and surveillance, and to provide targeted data to troops in communications-challenged areas. An unarmed, high-altitude drone designed to provide real-time intelligence over open-ocean and coastal areas. Altitude and range The Triton can fly high, far and for long periods of time — reflecting its mission of surveillance and reconnaissance. Sources: Navy; Air Force; Northrop Grumman; General Atomics
