Students: Shubham Sonawani, ASU; Siva Kailas, ASU
We have demonstrated autonomous assembly behaviors with a CubeSat-based robotic manipulator, a unique capability that has never been successfully produced by either NASA or the private sector. We developed a rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) software package that works within the avionics constraints of a CubeSat form factor. It leverages state-of-the-art machine vision, motion planning and motor control to guide the assembly of truss components whose configuration with respect to the robot is a-priori unknown. We also developed a full-stack CubeSat assembly testbed composed of JPL’s previously-developed CubeSat-mounted robotic arm integrated with our RPO package, and we delivered a video demonstrating autonomous assembly behaviors with truss components on our testbed.

Simulation + Realworld Hybrid Experiment
Here, we are performing vision based tracking in simulation to obtained the pose of Truss. 6D pose is fed to motion primitives for simulated and real remora arm. Demo shows well calibrated remora arm performing visual servoing.
The technology developed in this project enables CubeSats to perform simple autonomous manipulation actions, e.g., opening a solar panel, assembling modular structures such as mirrors or antennae, or interlocking with a second satellite. This ability increases the safety of Earth-guided low-orbit assembly, and enables assembly beyond Earth orbit where communication delays are prohibitive to teleoperation. This work puts JPL in a position of strength to formulate missions that involve autonomous rendezvous and docking, for instance in a Lunar platform, and enable sampling missions on asteroids via scooping/grappling functions carried out by the manipulator.
This project is funded JPL-NASA as part of Stratergic University Reaserch Partnership with ASU. The investigators thank 347 Technologist Spencer Backus for his assistance in upgrading the motor controllers of the Remora arm.

In 2003 the base was occupied by the United States Armed Forces as part of the Iraq War and called both Balad Air Base by the United States Air Force and Logistical Support Area (LSA) Anaconda by the United States Army before being renamed Joint Base Balad on 15 June 2008. Base in Iraq and today is home to the Iraqi Air Force's General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcons.
The base was handed back to the Iraqi Air Force during December 2011 returning to be called Balad Air Base. Balad was formerly known as Al-Bakr Air Base, named in honor of Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, the president of Iraq from 1968 to 1979.
Until mid-2008 the US Army had been in charge of Balad but, when it was re-designated as a joint base, the US Air Force assumed overall control.
Balad was the central logistical hub for forces in Iraq.
In the interim they kept busy with a variety of odd jobs.
The base was a common destination for celebrities and politicians visiting US troops serving in Iraq on USO Tours including the Charlie Daniels band (2005), Vince Vaughn (2005), Carrie Underwood (2006), Wayne Newton, Gary Sinise, Chris Isaak, Neal Mc Coy, and Oliver North.

The headquarters was at LSA Anaconda, a logistics support area about 12 miles from FOB Eagle.
An engineer company from the Florida Army National Guard, attached to V Corps, made a major contribution to the Corps' efforts in Operation Iraqi Freedom by rebuilding a former Iraqi aviation academy into a logistics hub near Balad Air Base that was operated by the Corps's 3rd Corps Support Command.


Catering to Thousands?
The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is an international organization of aviation enthusiasts based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. (Oshkosh is Hoffmaster’s hometown!) Since its inception it has grown internationally with over 160,000 members and about 1,000 chaptersworldwide.
For one week each summer, EAA members and aviation enthusiasts totaling more than 500,000 from more than 60 countries attend EAA AirVenture at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where they rekindle friendships and celebrate the past, present and future in the world of flight.
"The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration" has it all when it comes to aircraft. Warbirds. Vintage. Homebuilts. Ultralights. Some you would normally find in a hangar at your local airport, others so unique they are the only one of its kind. You name it, there's likely an example of it at Oshkosh.
For many, arriving at Oshkosh is a rite of passage that can only be satisfied by being one of the more than 10,000 aircraft flying in, landing at what becomes the busiest airport in the world. (Many of these folks pitch a tent under their wings for the week!)
Feeding hundreds of thousands of people visiting our community during EAA is a real boom for Oshkosh! Area restaurants and onsite food stands are overflowing with hungry customers. And we’ve got just the ticket…
Our Earth Wise Tree Free 100% compostable containers are perfect for serving on-the-go AND for taking leftovers home to the plane (or tent). This product line is uniquely made entirely from quickly renewable and highly sustainable natural resources. We’re going beyond green!


Founded in 2016, Engineered Products of Ohio, LLC. (EPI) is a technology manufacturing company that custom designs Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags for challenging environments. EPI works with their customers to develop and integrate RFID technology like gateways, readers, and endpoint integrated circuits.
EPI is an expert in the field of incorporating RFID technology into unique applications throughout a broad variety of industries. With great commercial success, EPI considered expanding into the government market. EPI identified and responded to a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) opportunity with AFWERX through the Air Force Research Laboratory.
After being awarded the Phase I SBIR, Justine Blank, EPI’s Vice President/RFID Solution Architect, met virtually with the Ohio APEX Accelerator at YSU Director to discuss the SBIR opportunity and how to leverage it for future opportunities. They discussed various aspects of being a DoD contractor, including the evolving cybersecurity requirements that also apply to SBIR awards. Beyond the focused one-on-one counseling, the Ohio APEX Accelerator at YSU also assisted Blank in identifying interest within Air Force stakeholders for the innovation EPI was developing through the Phase I award. This assistance and research augmented additional support EPI was receiving from Parallax, specifically the APEX Initiative.
The Ohio APEX Accelerator at YSU helped EPI refine their capabilities and project pitch, preparing them to network effectively with Air Force stakeholders. EPI’s successful networking and, most importantly, their excellent performance on the Phase I award positioned EPI to win a nearly $750,000 Phase II award from the Air Force. The Phase II award will allow EPI to bring life to their innovation, and prepare them to transition into future government successes.
“As experts in embedded RFID, we have been very successful in the non-government space, but as we began our research into bringing our technology to the DoD, we found that the commercial and military customers are VERY different.” Blank says. “While they both purchase goods & track assets, they are worlds apart in how they operate. As a new AFWERX accelerated SBIR/STTR awardee, we were fortunate enough to have the guidance of the Ohio APEX Accelerator at YSU to help rapidly immerse us into learning the nuances of transitioning to a military supplier partner. We literally had to learn how to speak the language (acronyms) and adapt to our current business practices to meet the needs of the US War Fighter. Without this assistance, we would not have been as successful or as nimble to respond and win our first Phase I and Phase II sole source contracts.”


The A320neo aircraft provides 15% savings in CO2 emissions and a 50% noise reduction
easyJet, Europe’s leading airline, is today showcasing the Airbus A320neo at Glasgow Airport. The neo brings significant environmental and operational benefits – up to 15 percent savings in fuel burn and CO2 emissions, and a reduced noise footprint of 50 percent on take-off and landing phase. Crucially, this means the quieter aircraft minimises its noise impact on local communities.
Over 22 years ago, easyJet’s first ever flight, EZY121 took off from London Luton for Glasgow and since then easyJet has remained committed to the airport by maintaining a continuous operation. The airline continues to see strong growth at Glasgow and now has an unrivalled network of 19 routes and bases four aircraft at the airport.
easyJet’s diverse portfolio of routes in Scotland caters for outbound and inbound demand. Passenger traffic is an almost equal split in directionality with nearly half of passengers travelling inbound to Scotland delivering significant investment into Scotland. The airline is excited to be introducing the neo aircraft to some of these routes this year, as the airline’s fleet of A320neo aircraft increases.
Since 2000 easyJet has reduced its carbon emissions per passenger, per kilometre by over 32%. Its current target is a 10% reduction from its financial year 2016 performance by 2022, which would be a 38% improvement from 2000.
Minister for Transport and the Islands, Humza Yousaf MSP said: “It’s great to see Glasgow Airport hosting the launch of this advanced aircraft and I’m delighted to be involved in this exciting event.
“The environmental credentials of the A320neo are eye-catching, bringing significant reductions in both CO2 emissions and noise. This development is very welcome as we look to balance sustainable growth in Scotland’s aviation sector with our responsibilities to the environment and local communities.
“I congratulate both easyJet and Glasgow Airport on this project and will follow it with great interest.”
Ali Gayward, easyJet UK Country Manager, said: “We are very pleased to have continued to deliver a reduction in the amount of CO2 we emit and look forward to reaching our target of 77 grams by 2020. By using modern Airbus aircraft and flying them efficiently we have reduced the carbon impact of our flights by a third since 2000.
“We are delighted to be showcasing our new Airbus A320neo in Glasgow today. easyJet is the largest airline in Scotland carrying almost one in three Scottish travellers and in calendar 2018 will grow further with an increase in the number of seats on sale of around 5% to over eight million. We’re committed to finding ways to increase efficiency, for example by incentivising higher load factors as well as the use of modern and efficient aircraft like the Airbus A320neo.
“The A320neo is also 50% quieter during take-off and landing, which is hugely important to easyJet as it minimises our impact on the local community.
“Next summer, easyJet will also introduce the 235-seat A321neo which will enable easyJet to continue to deliver growth in slot constrained airports and deliver a further improvement in CO2 per passenger kilometre.”
Derek Provan, AGS Airports Ltd Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are proud to play our part in welcoming easyJet’s new Airbus A320neo aircraft to Glasgow Airport.
“Our long-standing relationship with easyJet dates back to November 1995 and the airline’s first-ever flight from London Luton Airport, so we’re thrilled to see this latest arrival touch down in Glasgow.
“The Airbus A320neo brings with it significant environmental and operational benefits and easyJet’s decision to operate this revolutionary aircraft underlines the airline’s continued commitment to operate both efficiently and sustainably.”
easyJet’s biggest impact on the environment is its fuel consumption and the associated carbon emissions and that is why the airline is currently working on several projects with the aim of continuing to significantly reduce its carbon footprint.
From summer 2018 easyJet will also start to receive 30 A321neo aircraft, with 235 seats compared to 186 seats on the A320neo aircraft. This will also contribute to easyJet’s carbon reduction target by reducing the amount of fuel used to carry each passenger.


Download Film Sully (2016) BluRay
Film barat yang akan admin Download Film Terbaru 2018 berjudul Sully is a 2016 American biographical drama film directed and co-produced by Clint Eastwood and written by Todd Komarnicki, about US Airways Flight 1549 and its pilot, Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, based on the autobiography Highest Duty by Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow. The film stars Tom Hanks as Sullenberger, with Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney, Anna Gunn, Autumn Reeser, Holt McCallany, Jamey Sheridan and Jerry Ferrara in supporting roles.
On January 15, 2009, veteran US Airways pilots Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and First Officer Jeffery Skiles board US Airways Flight 1549 departing from LaGuardia Airport en route to Charlotte Douglas International Airport and take off. Barely three minutes into the flight at an altitude of approximately 2,800 feet (850 m), disaster strikes as the Airbus A320 hits a flock of Canada geese, which disables both engines. Without engine power and with no airports within a safe distance (the closest being Teterboro Airport in New Jersey), Sully decides to ditch his ill-fated airliner in the frigid waters of the Hudson River. Despite seemingly impossible odds, Sullenberger is able to land the aircraft in the Hudson, saving the lives of all 155 passengers and crew aboard. The press and public immediately hail him as a hero, but the experience left him seeing visions of the plane crashing into a building had he tried to return to LaGuardia.
Hours later, however, Sullenberger learns that tests conducted for the National Transportation Safety Board suggest that the left engine simply idled when the birds were sucked in. On paper, this would have left Sullenberger with enough power to return to LaGuardia or land at Teterboro. Furthermore, the NTSB board of inquiry claims that several flight simulations created from all available data of the incident conclude that the plane could have been able to safely land at an airport even with both engines disabled. Sullenberger, however, maintains that he lost both engines, which left him without nearly enough time, speed or altitude to guide the plane to a safe landing at an airport.
Sullenberger realizes that the NTSB is angling to have the accident deemed to be pilot error–which would effectively end his career. In a bid to save his reputation, he arranges to have the simulator pilots available for a live recreation at the public hearing on the accident. When both simulations end with successful landings, Sullenberger counters that simulations are unrealistic without believable accounting for preliminary protocols happening before any emergency maneuvers or basic human reactions to the incident. When pressed on this, the inquiry board admits that the simulation pilots were allowed several practice sessions before the formal recorded simulation for this unprecedented emergency situation.
Conceding the point, the inquiry board orders the simulation redone, but with a 35-second pause after the bird strike before any emergency maneuvers are attempted–roughly matching the time Sullenberger had to react. The simulation for a landing at LaGuardia ends with the plane plowing through a pier before crashing into the Hudson, while the simulation for a landing at Teterboro ends with the plane colliding with a building. Both would have resulted in non-survivable crashes. After a short recess, the board of inquiry announces that it just learned that the left engine had been recovered from the Hudson. The engine shows indisputable signs that it was completely destroyed by the bird strike.
With this evidence, the board concludes, with Skiles firmly confirming, that Flight 1549 was an unavoidable accident, and that Sullenberger did the best he could under the circumstances to save lives.

Microsoft is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its revered Flight Simulator series with the launch of the 40th Anniversary update that builds on the foundation of classic PC games. This Anniversary update for Microsoft Flight Simulator includes the entire original Flight Simulator as an easter egg. In fact, there are actually four older versions of Flight Simulator available. The latest update includes 12 new planes – 2 helicopters, 2 gliders, and 8 fixed-wing aircraft.
To enable the original versions of Flight Simulator, load up in a DA62 and then switch to cockpit view. After that, you need to set the ELT to the on position. Reddit user HughsMDflyer4 shared a screenshot of the easter egg as well as the instructions to enable it. If you prefer modern features, the 40th Anniversary update for Microsoft Flight Simulator also includes helicopters and gliders. Here are the highlights, as outlined in the update’s release notes:
· 1 true-to-life Airbus A310 airliner
· 2 helicopters and 14 heliports
· 2 gliders and 15 glider airports
· 7 famous historical aircraft including the Hughes H-4 Hercules (also known as the Spruce Goose)
· 4 classic commercial airports
· 24 classic missions from the franchise’s past
The highlights here are what Microsoft and Asobo call their first “true-to-life” airliner in the base game — an Airbus 310-300 — and the Spruce Goose, the largest seaplane and wooden aircraft ever built. Other new aircraft include classics like the 1903 Wright Flyer, the 1915 Curtiss JN-4 Jenny, the 1927 Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis, the 1935 Douglas DC-3, the 1937 Grumman G-21 Goose and the 1947 Havilland DHC-2 Beaver.
The Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary Edition is available as a free update for current players. It’s playable on the Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox One, and through Xbox Cloud Gaming.

SpaceX will make history with its newest rocket ship that will launch on Saturday afternoon. SpaceX’s rocket ship will carry two NASA astronauts into the orbit. The launch that was supposed to take place on Wednesday was called off 17 minutes before the liftoff.
According to 6abc, this was due to the thunderclouds that had dangerous risks of the rocket being hit by lightning.
NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine announced the rescheduled liftoff on Twitter, stating, “No launch for today – safety for our crew members @Astro_Doug and @AstroBehnken is our top priority.”
Despite the rescheduling of its liftoff, there is no denying that it will still be historic nonetheless. This is because the blastoff of SpaceX’s rocket ship represents the new era of commercial spaceflight. For the first time in what is nearly a decade, NASA launches astronauts from within the U.S. itself.
The U.S. space shuttle retired in 2011, prompting NASA to rely on Rusian spaceships launched from Kazakhstan to take U.S. astronauts from Earth to the Space station.
Both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence arrived to watch on Wednesday. There is no word from the White House as to whether or not they’d be present in the rescheduled launch attempt on Saturday.
On Wednesday, when the astronauts had already made their way to the pad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, thunder erupted in the area. Moments after they entered their capsule, a tornado warning was announced. Spacecraft Commander Hurley told the news outlet, “We could see some raindrops on the windows and just figured that whatever it was, was too close to the launch pad at the time we needed it not to be. Understand that everybody’s a little bummed out. That’s just part of the deal. We’ll do it again, I think, on Saturday.”
Both astronauts remained strapped to their seats until the fuel in their rocket’s fuel was unloaded and waited until they’ve disarmed the emergency escape system.
Bridenstine mentioned how unique this launch would be. He said, “Everybody can look up and say, ‘Look, the future is so much brighter than the present.’ And I really hope that this is an inspiration to the world.”
The launch will put Musk and SpaceX on the map. There are only three space-faring countries: Russia, the U.S., and China. SpaceX is seen as an independent institution.
In his interview with NASA before the postponement, Musk stated, “What today is about is reigniting the dream of space and getting people fired up about the future.” He commented on how he felt his responsibilities when he saw the families of the two astronauts. He told them, “We’ve done everything we can to make sure your dads come back okay.”
To cap it all off, Bridenstine said, “We’re doing it differently than we’ve ever done it before. We’re transforming how we do spaceflight in the future.”


The Story of Laika
The space race began on October 4, 1957 when the Soviet Union launched the first vehicle to orbit the earth, the satellite Sputnik 1. Soviet premier, Nikita Khrushchev, wanted a spectacular achievement to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution and, one month later Soviet space scientists duly delivered when they launched Sputnik 2 with the first living creature to travel in space on board, a dog named Laika.
Laika, which means "barker" in Russian, was a stray from the streets of Moscow. She had been rounded up with dozens of other stray dogs and kept at the space research centre in Moscow. The dogs underwent a variety of tests and training to assess their suitability for the demands of space flight. These included weeks of confinement in small cages to accustom the dogs to the limited space available within the capsule, and being harnessed inside a flight simulator while being subjected to the noise, vibration and G-forces that would be experienced during the launch period and the flight. Laika was eventually selected as the most suitable candidate, with a dog called Albina as her understudy. The general assessment system devised for the dogs at that time was later used for the cosmonauts who were to follow Laika into space.
|Laika being prepared for the flight of Sputnik 2.
On the 3 November 1957, Sputnik 2 was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazahkstan and Laika, the mongrel dog from the streets of Moscow, became the planet earth's first space traveller. As this was the cold war period, the event was considered a huge propaganda coup for the Soviet Union. The flight of Laika made headline news across the World and the American press nicknamed her Muttnik. Orbiting 1000 miles above the earth, Laika's flight captured the imagination of people everywhere. From inside the capsule of Sputnik 2, reports about her condition were transmitted back to earth, including her blood pressure, heart rate and breathing. The capsule's environmental conditions including temperature and internal pressure were also closely monitored.
|Laika is fitted with the harness used
to secure her within the space capsule.
Because of the demands on the Soviet space scientists to deliver results quickly, no provision was made for Sputnik 2 to return to earth. Shortly after the launch had taken place, the Soviet space agency announced that Laika would not be brought back and would die in space. The announcement caused widespread outrage around the World.
LAIKA'S FINAL HOURS
There has always been uncertainty about precisely how and when Laika died on board Sputnik 2. Various official versions have conflicted with each other; one version stated that Laika was put to sleep peacefully after four days in orbit by releasing a gas into the capsule, another version claimed the same fate for her after seven days and a third said that Laika died after ten days when the batteries powering her life support systems gave out. However, new evidence provided in October 2002 at the World Space Congress held in Houston, Texas by Dr. Dmitry Malashenkov of Russia's Institute of Biomedical Problems confirmed that Laika almost certainly died during the first day of the flight. Contrary to the official Soviet flight information provided at the time, it seems certain now that Laika died only hours into the flight due to stress and overheating problems in the space capsule.
According to Dr. Malashenkov, the sensors recording Laika's vital lifesigns showed that her pulse rate increased dramatically by a factor of three during the launch period and was very slow in decreasing after the launch, an indication of the extreme stress she was suffering. He confirmed that the information transmitted from Sputnik 2 showed that the temperature and humidity inside the capsule steadily increased after the launch had taken place. Five hours into the flight, Laika's vital lifesigns began to fail. After seven hours, somewhere during the fourth orbit, no further lifesigns were received from Laika. Sputnik 2 continued to orbit for 2,570 times before it re-entered the earth's atmosphere and burned up on 14 April 1958.
|Stamps were issued in different countries
to commemorate Laika's flight.
A variety of other animals including monkeys, rats and mice followed Laika into space as part of the U.S. and Soviet space programmes. The Soviet scientists used a further 13 dogs for the Sputnik programme, five of which died during missions. After Laika, they never again sent a dog into space without a recovery system in place.
In 1997, a monument to the Soviet Union's space heroes was erected at Star City, the cosmonaut training centre on the outskirts of Moscow. In one section of the monument peering out from behind the cosmonauts is a representation of Laika, the little stray dog from the streets of Moscow.
Laika represented for some the pioneering spirit
which took us "where no man had gone before."
For others, she symbolised the ruthless exploitation of
innocent creatures for dubious benefits.
Perhaps this is best summed up in the words
of Oleg Gazenko, a leading member of the Soviet Space Programme's scientific team.
Speaking at a Moscow news conference in 1998, he said:
"The more time passes,
the more I'm sorry about it...
We did not learn enough from this mission
to justify the death of the dog."

Creating a platform that helps with common issues from novice to pro, building tips from experienced pilots, implementing prized monthly challenges, are just a few things that Project Zen FPV provides.
Growing rapidly among pilots, it became evident that local just wasn't enough; global would be the only option. Founded on the idea to provide a harmonious community for FPV pilots worldwide, Project Zen was born. Together they are now one of the most rapidly growing communities in the hobby.


Once you were buying your initial drone, have you have any idea these aerial vehicles would become quite popular and useful that full-bodied classes and study modules would be offered to public through university and college diploma programs? Well, there’s a lot of colleges in the united states which are already offering drone training to a large number of students. Needless to say, drone engineering is really a full-fledged discipline since there are numerous kinds of unmanned aerial vehicles now available throughout the world ranging from simple just-for-fun drones to combat flying vehicles housing missiles as well as other payload and military surveillance drones. Next may be the class of drone pilots that require robust training as well as certification in order to be skilled, reliable and expert pilots of these aerial vehicles. In the a long time, the drone industry is only expected to grow and therefore more study modules must be included with the swimming pool for producing very skilled drone experts in various fields.
Career Opportunities for Drone Experts
Students who decide to pursue a degree in part 107 rules have numerous career paths to consider. A few of these include;
· Military drone pilot
· Disaster control and relief
· Search and rescue
· Traffic control and reporting
· Package delivery
· Filming and cinematography
· Aerial photography
· Seismic study and storm chasing
· Engineering and computer studies
· Drone consultancy and training
· Drone insurance
There can be a number of other fields where drone applications are now being recognized around the world. Because the concept is comparatively new but still in its infancy, there is a horde of opportunities for fresh graduates of drone training programs. Using the growing number of individuals who wish to take these courses, there’s also a need for more teachers and instructors who will be paid huge amounts of money for transferring their skills to another location generation of drone experts.
How to Apply
If you are interested in one of the degree programs or certifications in drone training, you first need to do a little research on various colleges which are currently offering study programs in this subject. You can find online degree programs as well, which you’ll easily take while sitting in your property. The application procedure is like obtaining some other degree program; you need to fill out an application form and submit it for the concerned department along with required documents along with a covering letter to exhibit your fascination with a certain college.
Prior to deciding to apply, determine whether you would like to learn to build drones or to fly them. These are the basic two basic categories available in terms of drone training or education. A few of the degree programs provided by colleges in this discipline include;
· Bachelor of Science in Unmanned Aircraft Systems Science
· Master of Science in Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Engineering
· Master’s in Unmanned Systems
· Bachelor of Science in Professional Aviation Flight Technology
· Bachelor or Master of Science in Aviation Management
There are numerous other disciplines as well; the complete details can be acquired from an official college website. Some universities will also be offering a post-baccalaureate certificate in UAS technology and application to students who come with an IB background. This is yet another ingredient that shows the future direction of drone training because IB will be the current standard of education generally in most countries.
Some minor courses in aviation and drone applications will also be provided to students who’re currently enrolled into information technology or electronics engineering disciplines. These courses might help them change their section of study down the road when they have made a decision to turn into a drone expert. There are tons of research opportunities for these students who can even opt for a doctoral degree in drone education.
Courses Offered in Drone Training
If you select some of the above-mentioned degree programs, the most typical subjects or courses you have to pass include construction and designs of unmanned aerial vehicles, UAS structure, flight path management, aerodynamics, industrial robots, private pilot theory, principles of flights, human factors of drones, payloads and sensors, communications and data acquisition, advanced aerial vehicles, military intelligence, information security, and so forth. As you can tell they’re complete modules and need many years of training to perfect. The degree programs therefore are planned over 4 years for Bachelors and 2 years for Master’s degree.
Since the future of aviation largely depends upon the success and effectiveness of today’s drones, there are golden opportunities for many who opt to take drone courses today. In case you are considering el born area, you can even enter as a possible entrepreneur to provide your distinct and useful services to those who wish to benefit from this excellent technology.

After years of working as a first officer for a commercial airline, Andrea is finally about to become a captain. To celebrate, she goes to dinner with friends and has a couple drinks. On the way home, she forgets to signal a right turn, and an officer stops her. The officer smells alcohol and has Andrea perform field sobriety tests. The officer says he notices ‘clues’ on the tests and arrests Andrea for DUI (called OVI in Ohio). As the cuffs go on, all she can think about is what will happen to her pilot’s license and her career.
Legal Turbulence For The Pilot And Her Attorney
It seems logical that a pilot’s license would only be jeopardized if the pilot is convicted of OVI. What makes sense logically is not always what occurs with the federal government. And it is the federal government, specifically the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which has responsibility for pilot (“airman”) licenses. The FAA will, in fact, impose sanctions for an OVI conviction. But there are other infractions, not obvious to attorneys, for which pilots could crash and burn.
Pilots Must Self-Report To The FAA
According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), pilots must affirmatively report all ‘motor vehicle actions’ to the FAA. As defined by the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR), a ‘motor vehicle action’ includes:
• a conviction for DUI / OVI
• a license suspension / cancellation / revocation related to DUI / OVI
• a denial of an application for a driver license related to DUI / OVI
Based on the definition of ‘motor vehicle action’, most pilots charged with OVI in Ohio cannot wait until a conviction to report to the FAA. If the pilot refuses a chemical test for alcohol/drugs or submits and tests ‘over the limit’, the pilot will be subjected to an Administrative License Suspension (ALS). As that suspension is related to DUI / OVI, it is a ‘motor vehicle action’ and must be reported to the FAA. According to FAR 61.15, there are time limits for reporting and also a requirement of reporting each separate ‘motor vehicle action’. Failure to report a motor vehicle action accurately and timely will result in sanctions.
Pilots Must Also Report In A Separate Context
A pilot must have a current medical certificate. Depending on the type of certificate the pilot holds, the certificate must be renewed every six months, every year, or every two years. To obtain or renew a medical certificate, the pilot must complete an ‘Airman Medical Application.
There are questions on the medical application related to DUI / OVI. A pilot is asked about and required to report convictions or arrests or administrative actions:
• involving DUI / OVI
• involving an offense which resulted in denial / cancellation / revocation / suspension of driving privileges
• resulting in attendance at an educational or rehabilitation program
The FAA will know about events which trigger reporting requirements. When a pilot signs the medical application, the pilot authorizes the FAA to obtain the pilot’s driving record from the National Driver Register. Falsifying a medical application will lead to sanctions.
The pilot will also likely have reporting requirements and potential discipline with her employer. Accordingly, the pilot should consult employment contracts, employee handbooks, and collective bargaining agreements to address the employer issues.
And Then There’s The Court Case
While this article addresses the FAA requirements, the pilot also must defend against the OVI charges in court. For a pilot charged with DUI / OVI in Ohio, navigating the court system and the federal regulations can be tricky maneuvers. To avoid a crash landing, the pilot needs to effectively defend against the DUI/OVI and fully comply with FAA requirements. The pilot should hire a lawyer with expertise in Ohio DUI / OVI defense and a grasp of the special requirements for an ‘airman’ facing DUI / OVI accusations.

With the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, the country has once again turned its eyes to space.
The thought of space travel is still mysterious and bizarre to most of us stuck here on earth. Though, through the use of the International Space Station, men and women are now staying in space for months—and even more than a year—at a time, and videos and photos sent back to Earth are giving us all a look.
Astronauts also talk about daily life, and the lack of gravity and orbiting thousands of miles above earth is no excuse to abdicate hygiene—including oral hygiene. Plaque buildup does not take a break when you’re in space.
However, in case you hadn’t yet stopped to think…without gravity, using traditional toothpaste is nearly impossible to use in space. This NASA video highlights how astronauts brush their teeth in space and the unique circumstance they must overcome.
Strong teeth and gums in space
Before heading to space, it’s important to go in with strong teeth and gums. While astronauts do lose bone density due to the zero gravity in space, they don’t lose enough density to significantly affect their jaws.
The real danger to the teeth and jaw is velocity. Astronauts experience extreme conditions during launch and landing. Traveling at G-force speeds creates extreme pressure in the oral cavity, so having healthy teeth at the start makes a dramatic difference. Strong teeth and gums are essential to help the body more easily absorb intensive shocks.
In addition to the G-forces, teeth are put under a significant amount of pressure. During launches, astronauts are exposed to forces that are up to four times their own body weight. If an astronaut has not taken good care of his or her teeth, cavities could potentially loosen and fall out. The same pressure applies on re-entry as well. Astronauts travel at a rate of about 6.2 miles per second.
Brushing your teeth in space
We know how important water is to brushing your teeth, so how do astronauts accomplish that when there are no faucets on a spaceship?
Or what about caps on the toothpaste? Have you ever lost one in your bathroom? While it might have slipped under the counter, at least you don’t have to worry about it floating away!
To solve these problems, NASA invented toothpaste without detachable caps. Viola, no more lost lids! For water, astronauts use a drink bag that is closed with a straw clamp. Astronauts pop off the clamp and squeeze out beads of water onto the toothbrush, which get sucked into the bristles. Then you can brush your teeth as normally as possible.
At the end of this routine daily task, you’re used to spitting out excess toothpaste, right? But once again, in space there isn’t a sink, and if you spit it out it would all just float around. When asked, astronauts admit to just swallowing the toothpaste because it was the most efficient way to dispose of it.
Next time you brush your teeth in the comfort of your bathroom—and in our Earthly gravity—think of the astronauts who are in space brushing their teeth as well! Send a wave up to the space station, and swish with relish.


It’s New Year’s Eve 2020.
As many of us were welcoming the new year (on Zoom, most likely!), a big change was happening elsewhere. In the UK, the laws and regulations that govern drone usage for commercial operations changed significantly.
Gone were the days where all commercial operations required an extensive theory and practical assessment beforehand. A new era where regulations were centred around drone classification were born.
For CWA, this immediately opened the possibility of bringing drone filming in-house. Though we still needed an acute knowledge of safety principles, privacy regulations, aviation law and more, the ability to capture unique footage for our clients was an opportunity not to be missed. And I was more than happy to put the work in to get that footage.
The change in regulation wasn’t a shift away from stringent safety measures. Far from it! But it quite rightly put the focus on the risk posed by each drone and operator, rather than a ‘catch-all’ approach to commercial operations.
Bigger isn’t always better
There’s a fine balance to be found between the payload weight (for example the size of camera you can carry) and the flexibility each weight classification of drone is afforded within the regulations. For example, a drone under 250g can fly close to people and buildings as its risk is relatively small. Whereas a drone over 250g poses more of a risk so is governed by stricter regulations. The drone which immediately appealed to us was the DJI Mini 2, weighing exactly 249g (see what they did there?) and equipped with a fantastic 4k camera.
Reviews of this drone and the footage it produced were excellent, and it offered a flexible but high-quality entry point to our drone offering. It copes well in moderate winds and is equipped with standard safety features such as the return to home failsafe. The drone also has geo-fencing equipped so will warn the operator if attempting to take off in a restricted area such as near an airport.
Drone Insurance Ready to fly...?
The skill in flying a drone well is two-fold. Firstly, great hand-eye coordination is needed to fly it accurately in the sky. The GPS helps, but it takes practice to control speed, elevation, rotation, direction, and the gimbal (the bit that stabilizes the shot) all in one go.
The second skill is having the eye to frame a good shot and add in suitable movement. The best shots are often those where the drone explores open space, reveals buildings, flies along a focal point, rather than just a high shot looking down.
All of this takes practice, experimentation, and time to find the limits and possibilities of the drone. Don’t tell anyone, but it’s also great fun!
Next, we decided there should be two aspects to the CWA drone offer. Firstly, a standalone shoot, perfect for capturing a video that shows off a facility or building, like this video for Jet Plant Hire showcasing their solar panels and environmental accreditation:
If you want more, we offer drone filming as a bolt-on to an existing day’s filming, great for capturing location establishers to give context to the rest of the film. This cost-effective route really elevates the film’s production values and offer a unique perspective to your business or service.
We’ve already noticed demand for our drone has really taken off (excuse the pun!) and it’s easy to see why: It’s a safe, quick, and cost-effective way to help your video projects stand out from the crowd, to provide that unique bird’s eye view and add an extra ‘wow’ to your communications.
If you want to talk to me about using a drone in your next shoot, email me at email@example.com or call me on 07870 982448.


Now is exactly the time when an open communication and discussion between all the aviation market participants is the key point to solving the issues, which we all are facing at pandemic conditions. That is why the open online conference of the NAIS Organizing Committee attracted more than 130 aviation industry representatives.
The most important point for all the aviation community right now is to unite. We need a platform for the discussion. We need to discuss and put forward consolidated proposals.
Airports across the country have already started communicating with each other.
At the conference, NEOSCAN proposed foundation of a working group, where representatives of all areas of the aviation industry will form an anti-crisis package of proposals. The conference marked the beginning of this path as the problems cannot be solved alone.

Nike Missile Site in El Monte
By Richard Cortez
If I was to tell you that El Monte was the site of Nike missile launch site you would probably tell me that I was crazy. Crazy as I might be there was a fully functioning Nike missile site located off of Potereo Road next to the tennis courts at Legg Lake.
It was 1950 and the cold war was beginning, the US Army Regulars and National Guardsman were empowered by Air Defense Brigade to protect valuable key industrial, military and US cities using Nike missiles. The first launch site was located in the mountains above Malibu in 1954. There were 16 Nike missile launch sites surrounding Los Angeles from enemy bombers. Some of the sites were, Chatsworth, Newhall, Mount Gleeson, El Monte, Brea and Long Beach.
The El Monte location had their administration building on one side of Potereo Road which is now the Army Reserves base. The actual launch site is located somewhere next to the tennis courts. The bunker is still there, but hidden from the public view. In 1954 there would have been two or three launch areas containing an underground storage magazines, an elevator and four missile erectors with underground rails that moved the missiles to an elevator to bring up the missiles to launch. The radar and targeting building was located on the hills where the Rio Hondo College Police Academy is currently located. In 1971 the US Army Air defense decided to end the Nike missile project and by 1974 most of the sites were destroyed with exception of the El Monte location. The location is still owned by the US Army and is off limits to everyone.

The world has come a long way in space technology since the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik I into space. The moment marked the beginning of intense competition for supremacy in space. While many would argue on the need for building satellites and the practicality of costly space programs amid the challenges on earth, space exploration has significant economic and strategic benefits.
The truth is that satellites are actually playing a pivotal role in improving the state of the world. If we want to solve the challenges that our planet if currently facing, we need to understand this. Space exploration will help us strengthen our cellular and communication network, take actions on climate change and make scientific discoveries and innovations.
Present state of space technology
There’s been a major paradigm shift in the commercial space market, with the space industry becoming more globalized and the emergence of many private organizations. Europe, in particular, has had a defining role in recent years and has become a major player in space exploration, with over 40 percent control over the world’s satellite manufacturing, launching, and operations. This has triggered a great influx of business opportunities for the private sector in space exploration. Arianespace, a French company, for example, has been a key player and innovator in commercial space launching services in recent years. Here’s a depiction of recent Mars space missions involving major players from around the world.
With more countries getting into the arena, space technology is being revolutionized with several disruptive technologies that are evolving and driving innovation at a much greater space. For instance, the power of miniaturization is changing how we design our satellites today. We’re able to include several extensive capabilities in much smaller packages reducing the cost of space launches, enabling us to launch constellations of miniature satellites in one go. This is all set to improve in the future with developments in micro and nano-technology.
Future of space industry
The space industry is about to witness dramatic changes in the future. Seemingly impossible things like finding new planets with life, showing signs of organic material, and identifying resources in our reach will become within our reach in the times to come. Scientists are molding several technologies to address the limitations of space.
For instance, the innovation of 3D printers will be used in space during emergencies in the future. The tech is ideal for withstanding deep vacuum conditions, strong temperature fluctuations, and solar radiations. Currently, additive manufacturing is a real challenge in space and 3D printers can help resolve this.
One of the objectives of space exploration is to identify unutilized resources of energy on extraterrestrial soil to foster affordable and sustainable human exploration in deep space. Consumables like hydrogen, oxygen, water extracted will enable humans to survive longer on such missions. NASA and several other space agencies are working actively to design rovers and excavation equipment to make this possible. Another recent development has been the establishment of space internetworking center (SPICE) that will enable avoiding delay-tolerant networking, energy-efficient communications during space missions in future.
Deep space communication is another segment that’s continuously evolving to overcome distance, power, and spacecraft mass limitations in space. Leveraging following technologies we may see a stable communication network between earth and spacecraft in future.
- Radio frequency technologies
These high-rate RF communication techniques are more reliable when we move deep into space. They are power efficient and reduce the amount of energy needed to transmit a given number of bytes.
- Optical communications
Over interplanetary distance, these technologies can enable streaming high definition imagery data communication.
- Deep space optic communications
It’s the future of optic communication providing mass, power and volume allocation benefits. The data rate will be 10 times greater than the deep space RF system.
NASA has recently introduced new spacesuits specifically for Artemis generation's missions. With great mobility, they offer inclusive sizing that accommodates anyone. They are also designed to withstand a higher range of temperature variances that can serve at both north and South Pole of the moon.
What does it mean for life on the earth?
You may not recognize the developments of space technologies but they are already helping the earth in many ways. For significant troubles and humanitarian crises, we can safely rely on space technologies to sustain life on earth.
- Harsh storms and identifying weather patterns have always been a threat to sustainable life on earth. However, space satellites are much more than just daily weather forecasts. These satellites can actually monitor greenhouse gases for effective earth ecosystem analysis. For example, solar photovoltaic power used by NASA on international space station aims to improve solar energy performance.
- Wide options in mobiles and broadband communications have lowered the cost of uses. Omnipresent broadband with global access will add billions to the global economy and spur development.
- Satellite imagery innovation can help to identify crop yield through a magnified pixel view. Farmers can better understand when to water, fertilize, and harvest the crop. Creating a vegetation index to represent crop yield productivity with the help of spectral bands like near-infrared, the collection of data on agriculture areas will make up 37% of earth's landmass.
- Earthquake warning can be given if any unusual electromagnetic signatures are precursors to major earthquakes then using signal processing techniques, it can be detected and identified through satellites.
- Space X’s advancements in space technology have reduced the barriers to spaceships to carry humans into low earth orbit and suborbital. Offering lower cost and reliable launch capability they have provided effective commercial space transportation.
NASA has always looked to explore life-sustaining conditions beyond earth and Mars is one of them. Though not certain, recent explorations have pointed about possibilities of life on Mars and maybe in the future with the help of space technologies it may well be possible for humans to live there.

In 1964 there were several secret launches from NASA that had the People of Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) completely up in arms. NASA was using monkeys to fly space missions and spy on russian missile silos. In June of '64, 5 simians were launched on what NASA thought was a regular "Spy Monkey" Mission but something went wrong. The monkeys took control of the capsule and headed towards our moon. Since this mission was top secret, NASA kept it quiet to the entire world that there were monkeys heading towards the MOON…. Even the PETA protestor's were unaware of this mission as they were paying close attention to the useless slaughter of Panda bears in High Schools and churches around the world. (It seems there were people using the fur from these innocent animals as chest hair for their children). Well, needless to say at this point the monkeys were out of control and headed toward the dark side of the moon. A band called Pink Floyd wrote a tribute album to these monkeys a few years later and called it "Dark Side of The Moon."


WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, OH – An Air Force Research Laboratory-led project in conjunction with NextFlex has resulted in the first functional samples of flexible Arduino circuit boards made by using a flexible hybrid electronics manufacturing process. The process sets the stage for smart technologies for the internet of things and sensor applications like wearable devices, the partners said.
“The possibilities for FHE (flexible hybrid electronics) technology are virtually limitless,” said Benjamin Leever, Ph.D., AFRL Advanced Development Team leader and NextFlex government chief technology officer. “Proving the manufacturability of this technology through an open-source platform will expand FHE’s reach even further by providing everyone from industrial product developers, to high school students, the opportunity to innovate on new electronics concepts.”
Arduinos are microcontrollers that are programmable through open-source software. Whereas commercial electronics typically include proprietary microcontrollers, Arduinos can be used by anyone to quickly prototype an electronic device.
Unlike the fragile, rigid form factor of traditional microcontrollers, the flexible Arduino can enable rapid innovation in flexible and wearable devices for applications, including monitoring hydration status, glucose levels, heart-rate and more.
In the process of developing the flexible hybrid device, the NextFlex team reduced the number of manufacturing process steps by more than 60% and the weight of the circuit by 98%, ultimately increasing the possibilities for design applications. This was achieved by replacing the traditional circuit board with a thin, flexible plastic sheet, eliminating the traditional microcontroller packaging, and implementing digital printing processes for circuit elements. The high performance of a traditional microcontroller circuit is maintained through this combination of surface-mounted and printed features.
“As we look to innovation from non-traditional sources, the flex Arduino can enable inventors inside and outside the Air Force to quickly demonstrate new flexible electronics concepts,” said Leever. “Moreover, the FHE manufacturing processes demonstrated by NextFlex in this project will be transformational for a number of Air Force applications. This technology may enable us to monitor the structural integrity of aircraft through sensors embedded in the wings or similarly monitor the real-time performance and health of an Airman through flexible sensor patches.”
For the Air Force, leveraging the knowledge of the open source community, such as that inherent in Arduino, helps accelerate innovation, enabling new technologies with tremendous potential for the Air Force. The NextFlex institute plays a key role in this innovation process and is a valuable asset for the Department of Defense and industry alike.

June 11, 1948. Humans didn't win the space race, monkeys got there first. Sure, they were using technology built by humans, but that's not the point.
Monkey Astronaut Hall of Fame
The first monkey astronaut was named Albert. The second monkey astronaut was, imaginatively, called Albert II. While Albert II was technically the first monkey to reach space altitude, it wasn't until the fifth line in the Albert dynasty (Albert V), that a monkey successfully returned from space. Unfortunately for Albert V, his parachute let him down and he became another victim of the human space race.
Albert VI was the end of the family line. The Albert name had begun to signify bad luck for monkeys. He passed the baton to Mike and Patricia, who co-piloted a flight on May 12, 1952. They reached an altitude of 74 kilometers, a mere 26 below the human definition of space. Mike and Patricia, we salute you.
It was not until six years later, on December 13, 1958, that Gordo (also called Old Reliable) piloted Jupiter AM 13. Gordo passed the test, but his parachute recovery system was less reliable than his name. Sad.
May 28, 1959. Baker and Able became the first living beings to safely return to Earth, reaching the pinnacle of monkey space flight. Baker became somewhat of a celebrity on his return from the stars and lived off his notoriety until 1984.
The Mercury space program introduced Sam, followed by Miss Sam (presumably a lady monkey) in 1960. Ham and Enos also featured in the Mercury program, but technically they were chimpanzees rather than monkeys. By all accounts, Enos was a rather naughty chimp. Coincidentally, Enos was also the title character from a short-lived police television show - please refer to Classic TV.
1961. Tragedy once again cast a shadow over the monkey space enterprise. November 10th, Goliath, explosion on board rocket. December 20th, Scatback, lost at sea. Fearless explorers both. RIP. But before the end of the decade, Bonny, was to restore pride to the nation. During the period June 29 until July 8, 1969 she became the first monkey to survive a multi day space journey. Monkeys led the way, where humans feared to tread.
The last two monkeys of the American space program represented the nadir of monkey names, and animal names in general - No 3165 and No 384-80. Only a scientist could create such madness.
For completeness, we must mention the great space monkeys of our French cousins: Martine and Pierette, as well as our Russian comrades (known as cosmonauts): Abrek, Bion, Verny, Gordy, Drema, Yerosha, Zhakonya, Zabiyaka, Krosh, Ivasha, Lapik and Multik.
Not all monkeys were lucky enough to make it into space. Some are living happily at the Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre in Dorset, England. An ice-skating chimp in a sailor suit may look pretty cute, it may even have been primetime TV viewing in the seventies, but it's not his natural environment. Nor is living on a curtain in your front room! Monkey World assists governments to stop the smuggling of primates from the wild. At the centre the refugees of this barbaric trade are rehabilitated into natural living groups.

787 Dreamliner Sees First United Flight
This weekend United celebrated with its first paying passenger flight of the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The Dreamliner is the game changing aircraft for most airlines.
The plane utilizes lighter materials such as carbon fiber, while having new fuel-efficient engines that burn 20% less fuel. This is paired with a larger cabin, better humidity and push to tint windows. The 787 is the plane of the future, both in efficiency and passenger comfort.
With all the delays and struggles Boeing went through with this plane, I’m glad that they were finally able to get it in the air. United also needed this flight to go smoothly, with a year of delays and losses, the Dreamliner may be exactly what United needed to thrive as the worlds largest airline.


I am a former pilot and still love keeping my fingers in aviation, especially homebuilt aircraft. One company, Team Mini-Max offers their aircraft plans free of charge. You need to provide personal information, but I have never received anything from them without my asking.
Understand that these plans are to build an FAA-legal aircraft than a person can fly, but I thought maybe one of you might want to scale to 10% and have a great project for yourself or your children.
Free plans are downloaded HERE. They come in a Zipped file and contain 29 pdf’s of plans and manuals.

Tough drone. Tough Design.
ACSL（Autonomous Control Systems Laboratory Ltd.,）
Product Design, Communication Design
While many companies now design and develop drones, our client is one of the few that has built an industrial drone solution, including the only technology N-One. Autonomous Control Systems Laboratory (ACSL) has dedicated research to this technology since 1998, and was fully established as a company in 2013. Its goal was to create a new Japanese industry of aerial machines in the field of agriculture, disaster investigation, infrastructure inspection, and logistics, utilizing distinctive technological innovations.
ACSL asked us for help to do design justice to this never-seen-before technology. The flying machine needed a look that would match its best-in-class technical capabilities. Our task was to make a drone, which is not designed for recreational purposes, and look like the serious, heavy-duty tool that it truly is, while still being sleek and attractive. It wouldn’t be easy, but there’s nothing we like more than a challenge, and this one really got us excited.
During the development of the drone we arrived at the conclusion that it was crucial to make each part accessible and repairable, individually. With this “fragmentation” became the theme of the project. We therefore made the arms detachable and any part that could be damaged easy to replace on the spot. Even the batteries, every part was created to be swappable, making this drone an unstoppable, professional machine.
Because it will be used in tunnels and under bridges with low light conditions, we also put in place a special display device to make sure its visibility was reliable. We call the N-One the “4x4 of aerial construction machines”.
