The idea of deploying unmanned flying objects – the technical jargon being unmanned aerial vehicles – on construction sites or in quarries may have come across as futuristic to many just a few years ago. But today, drones are important players in the concert of those involved in the planning, execution and documentation of construction measures. Already in the mid-term, in the estimation of many experts, they‘ve got what it takes to set the pace in the industry.
“Understanding of the specific strengths of drones in a wide range of applications has grown substantially over the past three years and the importance of the systems will continue to grow,“ says Ulrich Strecker, Managing Director of IBS Bauvermessung GmbH, partner of SITECH Deutschland GmbH, quite certain of what he‘s saying. After all, as he explained, drones were becoming more and more sophisticated, easier to operate and the advantages were obvious. They can be used spontaneously, being ready to deploy without the need for any major preparations, large areas can be covered in a short time, neither traffic nor operations on the construction site are obstructed, even built-on or difficult-to-access areas can be imaged easily without any difficulties – and with all this, the deployment of drones was cheap and cost-efficient compared with conventional options.
Drone is only the generic term – there are two types of unmanned aerial vehicles – copters and fixed wing aircraft. In terms of their function and features, copters are similar to helicopters, and thanks to their propeller they can hover in the air like their big brothers, fixed wing aircraft on the other hand are, like aeroplanes, constantly in motion when in action. Accordingly, the Quattrocopter albris sold by SITECH Deutschland GmbH is suitable for use in areas with restricted space for launching and landing, can also perform its duties at very low speed, is extremely agile and can therefore deliver angled images. In addition, it can be controlled manually and is also capable of capturing images overhead.
With these flight characteristics, it is the ideal system for flying over small to medium-sized construction sites or quarry faces or for structural inspections of, for example, the undersides of bridges. The Quattrocopter is equipped with a 38 Mpx camera and 6x zoom, it delivers HD images with a resolution of 1 mm from 5 m distance. Moreover, the albris can record videos and deliver thermal images.
The strength of the eBee Plus drone, as a fixed-wing machine, is its ability to cover large areas or flight paths involving large distances. Thanks to the high-power batteries, this drone can fly longer and further. Imaging linear corridors, for example, in road construction or flying over large-area landfills are typical applications. During flight at a flight height of 100 m, the eBee Plus captures an area of just under 2 m² and, being equipped with a high-quality camera, delivers precise images with a resolution of 20 Mpx.
Irrespective of which system the user opts for, when they want an overview from the air, in a first step the exact flight mission must be planned on the computer in the office. “With the help of the appropriate software, the user determines the exact flight paths of the drones,“ explains Strecker, emphasizing the user friendliness of the systems. Then the control points are marked on the ground and measured before the aircraft and the notebook or tablet are connected. Now the user controls the drone per notebook and flies the previously defined mission.
The results of the flights are then imported into the Trimble Business Center – HCE. “This special software is used to calculate a point cloud from the generated images. This step, the so-called photogrammetric evaluation of the images is crucial for the quality of the work,“ says IBS Managing Director Ulrich Strecker. “For an infinite amount of information can be derived from the point cloud,“ continues the expert. Digital models of the terrain, for instance, can be derived for machine control or mass calculations of materials, for example, in future construction pits or material stocks. An excellent working basis are also orthophotos, aerial photos without any distortion that can be read like in a map. These are also suitable for CAD systems and particularly popular for generating measurements.
“Often underestimated at the beginning is the possibility for recording conditions prior to the start of work,“ explains Strecker, this layout can also be used a good basis for further construction site documentation. The high-resolution photo and video images with their enormous depth of detail provide an optimum overview of the entire site. Drone images are also predestined for regular monitoring of construction progress. Drones can play out their strengths in this changing environment.


It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s a drone!
Businesses are discovering many uses for drones – also known as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). In fact, total spending for military and commercial drones is expected to reach $89.1 billion over the next ten years. This translates into approximately 30,000 small commercial drones in use by 2020, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Commercial Application of Drones: Implications for Commercial Insurance
Drones are already being used by real estate brokers to get images of properties from the air, by farmers to monitor crops, by insurance claims adjusters to view damaged property, by the Forest Services to monitor fires, and by movie companies in film production.
Almost any job that currently requires an aircraft is a good candidate for a drone, since drones are considerably less expensive to operate. Major online retailers are already planning on using drones to deliver packages. Plus, drones can provide safer options and prevent worker injuries in many cases. For example, if you own a construction company and you need the top beams of a building inspected, would you rather send a man several hundred feet off the ground or a drone? The bottom line is that if you are operating drones for business purposes then it's critically important to add drone insurance to your business insurance policy.
Other potential uses for drones include:
- News: aerial reporting
- Insurance: claims and underwriting operations
- Service: table service at restaurants and bars!
Commercial Insurance Implications for Businesses Operating Drones: A Closer Look
This proliferation of drones increases the need to address commercial insurance liability and coverage issues, most notably - personal injury and invasion of privacy. Drones are excluded in about 99 percent of Commercial General Liability policies available today. Legal issues include “trespassing” drones; airspace ownership laws; and the question of federal aviation laws vs. state laws. In addition, many drones have high-powered cameras, infrared sensors, facial recognition technology, and license plate readers, which also brings up concerns regarding invasion of privacy, spying, stalking, and harassment.
Insurance Companies Scrambling to Supply Drone Insurance Coverage
In February 2012, congress mandated that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) find a way to integrate drones into U.S. airspace by September 2015. With that deadline looming, the FAA is nowhere close to finalizing its plans. This lack of regulation and the fact that there is very little loss history available at this point makes it challenging for insurance companies to develop policies. It's therefore likely that drone insurance rates may vary widely among insurance providers. Therefore, it's helpful to acquire drone insurance protection from an indepdent insurance agency who is free to shop around among competing brands of insurance providers in order to help you obtain the proper coverage at a fair price.
Drone Insurance Risk Factors - Similar to Aircraft Insurance Risks
Since drones are regulated by the FAA, many of the same questions that an underwriter looks at with an aircraft will also apply to a drone, such as its function or intent, its takeoff and landing location, whether it will be operating over a populated area, and its flying altitude. However, a drone is not a manned aircraft. Underwriters will need to look at liability, personal injury, and invasion of privacy, property and workers’ compensation when creating insurance policies for commercial drones.
Currently there are about 21 insurance companies that write aircraft product liability policies – up from just nine a few years ago. Someday requesting insurance for drones and drone-related operations will become routine, but for now we’re faced with the challenge of keeping up with the issues that come along with quickly advancing technology.

50 Years Ago...
“All of you on the Good Earth…”
It’s hard to fathom that it was 50 years ago tonight, Christmas Eave, that this photograph was taken by Bill Anders aboard Apollo 8—as human beings circled the moon for the first time. At the height of the Space Race, it was an incredibly bold and stunning move to ride atop the mighty Saturn V rocket, having been fully tested only twice before—both times, un-manned—and having never been flown into deep space—in a last-minute program change to pre-empt a planned lunar mission by the Soviet Union.
Borman, Lovell, and Anders
Commander Frank Borman and crew mates Jim Lovell (of Apollo 13 fame) and Bill Anders (seen below in their Gemini days) had but a few brief months to train for the mission. Although it was a comparatively simple mission—compared to later landing missions—its ten-orbit lunar flight captivated the world.
They were the first three of only 24 men who have ever flown to the moon—with Lovell the only one of the three to ride a later mission. In their television broadcast that Christmas Eve—the most-watched television broadcast at the time—they took turns reading from the Book of Gensis—Chapter 1 versus 1-10, and closed with Borman saying, “And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas – and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.” Borman and Lovell are now 90 years old—Anders is 85 (see below), and are amongst 11 lunar astronauts who are still alive today.
“Earthrise,” as the photo is titled, has been described as “The most influential environmental photograph ever taken,” and galvanized the growing environmental movement—so much so that, not coincidentally, 16 months later, in April 1970, Earth Day was celebrated for the first time. Curiously, the shot was not anticipated—it was not in the flight plan—and startled Anders (who was assigned to take photographs of the lunar surface) as the Command-and-Service-Module was rotated 180°, pointing back towards earth for the first time (the CSM approached and orbited the moon backwards, as the engine, at the rear of the spacecraft, was fired for several minutes to slow the spacecraft down to be captured into lunar orbit). It is still a breathtaking photograph to this day.
The Saturn V
Although Apollo 8 carried no lunar module, the Saturn V rocket used to carry it out of earth’s orbit (called TLI, or Translunar Injection) was essentially the same rocket used in later lunar missions, and is still, to this day, the most powerful machine ever built. Its first stage, comprised of five Rocketdyne F-1 engines, each capable of 1.5 million pounds of thrust, developed 7.5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, and burned two-tons of fuel per second. The rocket and spacecraft was so heavy, and burned so much fuel so quickly, that if one of the engines failed at liftoff, the whole rocked would fall back and be destroyed—but once the rocket cleared the launch tower (something like 12 seconds, and traveling 60 mph), it was light enough to be carried into orbit with the remaining four engines. Here’s a YouTube clip of a documentary, narrated by Gary Sinise, that features Borman and Anders describing their ride aboard the Saturn V:

Considering that that period drone solutions happen to be unveiled in the marketplace, they have got received grabbed the creativeness of folk’s qualities of different locations. Within the armed leads to real-property organizations to athletics, drones have found software virtually any discipline. Having said that, no matter obtaining the amazing good results of drones, a lot of people have recognized the necessity for continual enhancement if these aerial autos will likely recognize their accurate achievable. That is why researchers and specialized specialists around the world intend to make improvements and adjustments for your supply drone technological innovation to metal out its problems.
The most significant difficulties skilled during the entire folks when you use drones are its constrained life of the battery. The drones that are available today could not continue to be fresh air-borne in excess of all around half an hour his or her power supplies don’t still keep a lot electrical power. This might be the elements of drones in which plenty of development will likely be created. Pros are attempting to make significantly better electric driven electric powered batteries that could make the drones in the air flow-stream with an expanded time frame. In addition, technological innovation specialists may also be inspecting the chance for using solar power run electric power for driving a vehicle the drones also. It may be imagined that from your quite forseeable future electric powered battery life-time of drones will be significantly raised, allowing them to consider air travel long extended distance without necessitating an increase.
Straightforward basic safety has typically remained basically the most revealed elements of the drone engineering know-how. You will possess the hazard that this drone would collide along with the points which can be found in their option like possible lines and wrinkles, shrubs and also other aircraft. To address this opportunity as well as to enhance the simple basic safety in the drones, experts are working with the vehicle incident avoidance method for that drone x pro. The thought right behind this would be this drones will likely be fitted using a strategy that may identify the presence of other things within their pathway and obtain evasive maneuvers to prevent accidents. Despite the fact that this type of strategy hasn’t been made even so, research is continuing and the probabilities of a discovery developing are often remarkable.
The drones that happen to be on the market today ought to be monitored at some amounts inside of the surface. You need to have to aviator the drone from an additional spot and notify it by which it needs to must go. Because of this drones are simply effective at being observed by whoever has the necessary instructing and certification thought it was necessary to acquire airline trip a drone. Even so, this is about to modify. Technological know-how specialists function concerning the autopilot of your drones to allow them to consider air flow vacation autonomously without having a human being initial. Employing this kind of autopilot function, individuals who have just small idea about visiting drones are able to use them as well.

Aerospace claims software helps aerospace, aviation, and insurance companies eliminate manual claim forms and reduce the time spent collecting claim details. Aerospace claims software can include public liability claims, ground risk hull claims, and in-flight claims. The aviation industry is surrounded by high-risk activities involving the general public, employees, and government bodies in both public, private, and military airport facilities. Aerospace mechanics work on heavy equipment in high-risk areas where they have exposure to toxic substances and constantly moving heavy machinery. Aviation claims software is designed to streamline how claims are handled in the aviation industry by addressing numerous claims processing needs such as flight path information, hangar information, runway conditions, traffic controller details, and passenger and employee details.
Even minor aerospace claims can cost into the millions of dollars when considering the people and equipment involved. Public liability, personal property, transportation assets, and maintenance are all cost factors for Aerospace claims management. Aerospace claims software automates claim cost reporting and expense approvals based on average estimates or information submitted from insurance companies. Aerospace loss processing overhead is significantly reduced when claims administration data collection and follow ups leverage highly accessible cloud software. With high uptime and world-wide availability, anyone working on an aviation claim may access key claim information to play their role in processing the claim to closure. Document retention in aerospace claims software can be extended for years to meet claim data retention policies required by government agencies and insurance companies, and easily retrieved by either your IT team or our technical support team if on a fully-hosted implementation.

GPS consists of three parts: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments. GPS satellites broadcast signals from space, which each GPS receiver uses to calculate its three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus the current time.The space segment is composed of 24 to 32 satellites in medium Earth orbit and also includes the boosters required to launch them into orbit. The control segment is composed of a master control station, an alternate master control station, and a host of dedicated and shared ground antennas and monitor stations. The user segment is composed of hundreds of thousands of U.S. and allied military users of the secure GPS Precise Positioning Service, and tens of millions of civil, commercial, and scientific users of the Standard Positioning Service.
Basic concept of GPS
A GPS receiver calculates its position by precisely timing the signals sent by GPS satellites high above the Earth. Each satellite continually transmits messages that include
* The time the message was transmitted
* Precise orbital information (the ephemeris)
* The general system health and rough orbits of all GPS satellites (the almanac).
The receiver utilizes the messages it receives to determine the transit time of each message and computes the distances to each satellite. These distances along with the satellites' locations are used with the possible aid of trilateration, depending on which algorithm is used, to compute the position of the receiver. This position is then displayed, perhaps with a moving map display or latitude and longitude; elevation information may be included. Many GPS units show derived information such as direction and speed, calculated from position changes.
Three satellites might seem enough to solve for position, since space has three dimensions and a position near the Earth's surface can be assumed. However, even a very small clock error multiplied by the very large speed of light — the speed at which satellite signals propagate — results in a large positional error. Therefore receivers use four or more satellites to solve for the receiver's location and time. The very accurately computed time is effectively hidden by most GPS applications, which use only the location. A few specialized GPS applications do however use the time; these include time transfer, traffic signal timing, and synchronization of cell phone base stations.Although four satellites are required for normal operation, fewer apply in special cases. If one variable is already known, a receiver can determine its position using only three satellites. (For example, a ship or plane may have known elevation.) Some GPS receivers may use additional clues or assumptions (such as reusing the last known altitude, dead reckoning, inertial navigation, or including information from the vehicle computer) to give a less accurate (degraded) position when fewer than four satellites are visible.
The GPS design originally called for 24 Space Vehicles, eight each in three circular orbital planes, but this was modified to six planes with four satellites each. The orbital planes are centered on the Earth, not rotating with respect to the distant stars. The six planes have approximately 55° inclination (tilt relative to Earth's equator) and are separated by 60° right ascension of the ascending node (angle along the equator from a reference point to the orbit's intersection).The orbits are arranged so that at least six satellites are always within line of sight from almost everywhere on Earth's surface.Orbiting at an altitude of approximately 20,200 kilometers (about 12,550 miles or 10,900 nautical miles; orbital radius of approximately 26,600 km, each Space Vehicles makes two complete orbits each sidereal day, repeating the same ground track each day.This was very helpful during development, since even with just four satellites, correct alignment means all four are visible from one spot for a few hours each day. For military operations.
As of March 2008 there are 31 actively broadcasting satellites in the GPS constellation, and two older, retired from active service satellites kept in the constellation as orbital spares. The additional satellites improve the precision of GPS receiver calculations by providing redundant measurements. With the increased number of satellites, the constellation was changed to a nonuniform arrangement. Such an arrangement was shown to improve reliability and availability of the system, relative to a uniform system, when multiple satellites fail. About eight satellites are visible from any point on the ground at any one time.
While originally a military project, GPS is considered a dual-use technology, meaning it has significant military and civilian applications.GPS has become a widely used and a useful tool for commerce, scientific uses, tracking and surveillance. GPS's accurate timing facilitates everyday activities such as banking, mobile phone operations, and even the control of power grids. Farmers, surveyors, geologists and countless others perform their work more efficiently, safely, economically, and accurately.

You Need No Expertise to Fly
Cheerwing CW4 RC Drone has one touchdown function and one key take off. Thanks to this mechanism, you need no prior experience to use it. Beginners can fly the drone with ease. The one touchdown function protects the drone when it gets out of control or experiences low battery power. By this, the drone flies down in a slow motion and automatically lands on the ground just before the motor stops. This safety measure is crucial to prevent damage from occurring.
How about Aerial Photos and Videos
If you have never known about how easy this is done, you will in this Cheerwing CW4 RC Drone Review. The drone has a 2MP (720P) HD camera that takes beautiful aerial videos and photos as it flies. You get a new experience of your videos and photos from the air. For movie resolution, the upgrade is fantastic and at 1280 × 720 which is at 30 frames for every second. You will need enough storage space to store your media files being captured. A removable Micro-SD card comes in handy for several flights.
Fly It Easier with the Headless Mode
An easier flight with the headless mode is everything to die for when taking photos and videos from an aerial view. This happens when the drone cannot recognize the fuselage direction. It continues with the flight regardless. The performance is wonderful and incomparable with the one key 360 degrees roll that offers a continuous roll. While at it, the 360 degrees flip allows for extreme flips, stunts and ability to perform tricks using a simple joystick combo that includes Left or Right, Forward or Backward, 360 degrees rolls, 360 degrees flips and Up and Down combos.
Lock It as It Snaps
It is exciting how this drone has different modes to select from that doubles its performance making your sessions memorable and fruitful. The altitude hold mode is fantastic and a must try. The drone is locked at a specific height above sea level after releasing the throttle stick. Controlling the drone becomes easier and kids and newbies will love the experience. Its stability is a plus and guarantees you more stability for the perfect aerial photography.
Access Spares with Ease
Do not get a migraine on where to find a few parts and accessories for this drone. The Syma X5C batteries it uses are cheap and easy to find. Stocking a few in case you are going for long sessions of photo or video taking. For normal routine maintenance and sorting out breakages or an untimely crash, buying spares during your initial purchase is advised. The spares need to be light in weight and you shouldn’t compromise on the quality to enable this drone to fly like with its original parts. This drone comes with extra propellers and getting a few spare motors will be wise. The motors burn off very first but this shouldn’t limit your experience. Motors are easy to replace because of their low prices and availability. All this considered making your trip worthwhile.


Although Charles Lindbergh preceded the crew of the Breman in 1927 with the first Trans-Atlantic nonstop west to east flight, it was the crew of the Breman airplane, as shown here, that made the first nonstop east to west Trans-Atlantic flight.

1. Astronomers Concerns Intensify With SpaceX’s Latest Starlink Launch Forbes Magazine ~ January 2020
“Hundreds of thousands of 5G-providing satellite mega-constellations are being launched this decade. But there’s an enormous cost to one of humanity’s greatest and oldest resources: the night sky. These swarms of satellites are not only an unprecedented source of light pollution to skywatchers and amateur astronomers, but threaten ground-based astronomy as never before…..
As astronomer Caitlin Casey put it, “The fact that one person, or one company, can take control and completely transform humans’ experience of the night sky, and not just humans, but every organism on Earth … that seems profoundly wrong.”
Meteorologists including those from NASA and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say international standards for wireless technology could degrade crucial satellite measurements of water vapour.
This paper was presented by scientists at the spring 2020 session of the Norwegian national assembly in response to Norway’s plans to launch low earth orbit satellites for 5G.


Aerospace Engineering Degree
Often informally called “rocket science”, the field of aerospace engineering is considered one of the most challenging career paths in existence. Those who have earned at least a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering degree may work in the branch of engineering that deals with the design, construction, and science of aircraft and spacecraft. Aerospace engineers work to design and develop such vehicles as:
- Lunar vehicle
- Space stations
Students engaged in aerospace engineering study the analysis, synthesis, and design of aeronautical and aerospace vehicles. At the undergraduate level, students can specialize in either aerospace of aeronautics. In simplest terms, aerospace involves spacecraft design. Aeronautics deals with the design of aircraft.
The path leading to either a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering degree or a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering degree is often considered a difficult one. Generally, two years of science and basic engineering classes lay the groundwork for the bachelor’s degree. The final two years of the Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering program afford the student the opportunity to fine tune his or her career path by completing courses such as:
Finding the college or university to meet the needs of the aerospace engineering student might prove to be somewhat difficult. Presently in the United States, there exist only a limited number of institutions that have been accredited to offer a degree in aerospace engineering.
Some college programs focus on one of the two main branches of aerospace engineering, aircraft/missiles and spacecraft. Some colleges and universities combine the two areas while other institutions provide completely separate curriculum for the two studies.
Aerospace engineering continues to be a highly competitive field. In light of this, many students opt to pursue an advanced degree. Thanks to technology, degrees in aerospace engineering are offered at the master’s level through a number of online programs. Considering the demands placed on employees in this field, online study is often an ideal delivery method for this program.
Once the student has found that college and has been awarded an Aerospace Engineering degree, there is a wide array of career paths available to choose from. Some of the more popular choices include:
- Software development
- Field service
Graduates of an accredited aerospace engineering program will often find employment in the aircraft industry. However, a large number of aerospace engineers work for the federal government. The United States military utilizes a significant number of aerospace engineers.


I got this 1.7MB PowerPoint file attached to an email showing a series of stunning images of the earth from space. I particularly enjoy the images showing the shadow line between day and night.
BlueBeauty 1.7 MB slide show might take a while to download.
The last slide motivates the viewer to ‘send’ this file out wide. I am not sure as to who owns the images, as only agencies like NASA or ESA could capture such images, so the intellectual property might be an issue with this PowerPoint file. If it is a NASA image then there seems not much of a problem here.
On the NASA site they state as for the guidelines to use their materials they state:
Using NASA Imagery and Linking to NASA Web Sites

Out of this world.
In an out-of-this world campaign to promote the new Zinger in the U.S, we launched the world-famous crispy spicy chicken sandwich into space together with Wieden+Kennedy and WorldView. As the Zinger 01 rose to new heights in a custom built robotic bucket satellite, earthbound civilizations could watch the live broadcast of this giant leap for chicken sandwiches on kfcin.space and Facebook.
To new heights.
During the lead up and down time, earthlings stayed in contact through discussions on an interactive timeline, live data feeds, a scientifically detailed view of the Zinger sandwich along with an fully interactive WebGL rocket with selfie stick, a flag waving arm extension and a recording of the colonel on a gold cassette tape over earth.
FWA of the day
The Zinger has landed.
Seventeen hours after the Zinger01 sailed to the edge of space in an experimental strato-craft, the Zinger chicken sandwich safely returned it’s rightful place: Earth. During its journey to space, the Zinger reached a peak altitude of 67,143 feet and witnessed what many can only dream of..
