The concept of air pressure and its relationship with altitude is a complex one. It is important to understand this relationship in order to accurately assess weather patterns and the impact of altitude changes on air pressure. This article will discuss how air pressure changes with an increase in altitude, examining the effects of rising altitude on air pressure, and understanding the relationship between altitude and air pressure. With this information, readers can gain a better understanding of how air pressure works and how altitude can impact the air pressure around us.
1. How Does Air Pressure Change with Altitude Increase?
Air pressure is the force exerted by air molecules on a given area. It is affected by both temperature and altitude, with air pressure decreasing as altitude increases. When altitude increases, the air becomes thinner and less dense, meaning fewer air molecules are present in a given area. This causes the air pressure to decrease.
At sea level, the air pressure is around 101.3 kiloPascals (kPa). As altitude increases, the air pressure decreases exponentially. For example, at an altitude of 1,500 meters, the air pressure is around 78.7 kPa. At an altitude of 3,000 meters, the air pressure is around 68 kPa. By the time you reach 8,000 meters, the air pressure has dropped to around 25.9 kPa.
In general, the air pressure decreases by roughly 1 kPa for every 100 meters of altitude gained. This means that if you climb 1,000 meters in altitude, you can expect the air pressure to drop by around 10 kPa. This is an important factor to consider when climbing mountains or flying in an aircraft.
At higher altitudes, the air pressure can become too low for humans to survive, which is why mountaineers and pilots must take precautions against altitude sickness. Altitude sickness is caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood due to the low air pressure. Symptoms of altitude sickness include headache, nausea, and fatigue.
In conclusion, air pressure decreases with an increase in altitude. The rate at which the pressure decreases varies, but in general, the air pressure decreases by about 1 kPa for every 100 meters of altitude gained. Climbers and pilots should be aware of the effects of air pressure on their bodies and take the necessary precautions to prevent altitude sickness.
2. Examining the Effects of Rising Altitude on Air Pressure
The effects of rising altitude on air pressure are an important factor to understand when considering the atmosphere. As you ascend, air pressure decreases, and the higher you go, the less pressure you experience. This is because the air molecules become more spread out as you rise, therefore having a reduced impact on the surrounding environment.
At sea level, the air pressure is typically around 1013.25 mb, but this decreases as you rise in altitude. As the air pressure decreases, the air becomes less dense and oxygen levels drop. This means that as you climb higher, the air pressure will continue to decrease, and you will need to take precautions to ensure that you can still breathe properly.
In addition to the decrease in air pressure, temperature also decreases with an increase in altitude. This is because the air is less dense, and it is able to absorb heat more efficiently, causing the temperature to drop.
The decrease in air pressure and temperature can have a major impact on the environment, as it affects wind patterns and the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a complex system that relies on these factors to remain balanced, and understanding how air pressure changes with an increase in altitude is a key part of understanding the environment.
3. Understanding the Relationship between Altitude and Air Pressure
Atmospheric air pressure is the force exerted by the atmosphere on the surface of the Earth. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. The decrease in air pressure with an increase in altitude is due to the fact that the air is less dense at higher altitudes. As the air becomes less dense at higher altitudes, its ability to hold onto and transfer pressure decreases, resulting in a decrease in air pressure.
At sea level, air pressure is approximately 101.3 kilopascals (kPa). As altitude increases, air pressure decreases at a rate of about 1 kPa per 8 meters of altitude. This means that if you go up 8 meters above sea level, air pressure will decrease by 1 kPa.
In addition to the decrease in air pressure with an increase in altitude, the temperature of the air also decreases. This means that as altitude increases, the air becomes colder.
Understanding the relationship between altitude and air pressure is important for a variety of reasons. Knowing how air pressure changes with an increase in altitude can help predict weather patterns, as well as atmospheric phenomena such as thunderstorms and tornadoes. It is also important for aircrafts to understand the relationship between altitude and air pressure, as it affects the performance of the aircraft and the safety of the crew and passengers.

[Addendum: At the time of posting, I failed to speculate on the connection of these aircraft to the missing Malaysian Flight MH370. With that said, why would 3 US Navy Maritime Reconnaissance jets fly out over my house in Southern Indiana 2 days before the original departure of ‘MH370’?]
I captured these 3 different military aircraft flying over today and will take this opportunity to educate a few folk on types of aircraft.
These aircraft were US Navy P8 Poseidon’s which is a modified Boeing 737.
Wikipedia gives this information on the P8.
The Boeing P-8 Poseidon (formerly the Multimission Maritime Aircraft or MMA) is a military aircraft currently being developed for the United States Navy (USN). The aircraft is being developed by Boeing Defense, Space & Security, modified from the 737-800ERX.
The P-8 is intended to conduct anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), and shipping interdiction, along with an electronic intelligence (ELINT) role. This will involve carrying torpedoes, depth charges, SLAM-ER missiles, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and other weapons.

Three students received an invitation to the 'Women in Aviation' careers day sponsored by Qantas. The immersion provided an opportunity to learn about what was required to have a career in the aviation industry. They learnt about many jobs available in the aviation industry, including Air Traffic Controllers, Military Fixed Wing and Helicopter Pilots, Aeromedical Pilots, Military Aviation Squadron Leaders, Commercial Pilots, Aviation Airport Fire Fighters, Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, Boeing Development Managers and Airport Civil Engineers.
The students were also lucky enough to climb onto the flight deck and undertake a pre-flight walk-around inspection of a Boeing 737, the most popular airplane in the world and a QantasLink Dash 8-200, which travels to regional airports in Australia with Qantas Engineers and Qantas Pilots.
The day provided much information about career options, training paths, mentoring and the support avenues available to young women embarking on an aviation career.

Front Range Biosciences is flying hemp and coffee aboard a SpaceX mission in March.
Astronauts have taken medication to space since the early days of off-planet exploration—but next spring, a Colorado company plans to be the first to send plant cultures of coffee and hemp, a variety of marijuana, to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission will test if zero gravity will mutate or genetically alter the plants, so presumably someday you can have a CBD-infused coffee on Mars.
Front Range Biosciences, an agricultural biotech company that breeds genetically consistent hemp and coffee varieties, has partnered with tech startup Space Cells and the University of Colorado, Boulder to launch more than 480 plant cell cultures in an incubator made for space. The cultures will hitch aboard a SpaceX cargo flight slated for March 2020 to resupply the ISS.
While the plant Cannabis sativa is still illegal on the federal level, hemp was made legal again a year ago. Hemp is a breed of cannabis that cannot get you stoned because it lacks high quantities of the chemical THC.
Hemp is, however, useful for food, textiles and sucking up heavy metals in the ground. It also contains high amounts of CBD, a cannabis-derived molecule that seems to have numerous medicinal properties, such as treating epilepsy, anxiety, and pain, although the evidence isn’t solid yet. Either way, hemp is a versatile plant that could have many applications in space.
“This is the first time anyone is researching the effects of microgravity and spaceflight on hemp and coffee cell cultures,” Jonathan Vaught, co-founder and CEO of Front Range Biosciences, said in a statement. “There is science to support the theory that plants in space experience mutations. This is an opportunity to see whether those mutations hold up once brought back to earth and if there are new commercial applications.”
After a month in space, the cells will be returned to Earth so Front Range can analyze the DNA and evaluate the effects of radiation and microgravity on the plants. “We are excited to learn more about both hemp and coffee gene expression in microgravity and how that will inform our breeding programs,” Reggie Gaudino, VP of research and development at Front Range, said in a statement.
While this could be one of the first steps toward producing interstellar pot or coffee, the company claims this could have terrestrial applications, too. In places hard-hit by climate change, for example, it may help design more resilient crops. Last year, Front Range partnered with Frinj Coffee to produce coffee plants that can grow in Southern California, which isn’t as easy to do outside of equatorial countries like Colombia.
While this hemp and coffee experiment will be unique, it isn’t the first time cannabis has been sent off-planet. On June 1, 2013, Seed Hub and High Times used a weather balloon to send a joint, a small marijuana plant, and 95 seeds nearly 20 miles off the ground. But that same year Dale Chamberlain, a former NASA botanist who helped build plant grow boxes for zero gravity, hinted to Motherboard that cannabis seeds may have been smuggled onto the ISS before.
In 2017, a dispensary called Herban Planet and Sent to Space tried an experiment similar Front Range’s proposal, launching a pound of thin mint-flavored weed with a weather balloon 131,208 feet. They were testing for DNA changes as well, but their cannabis wasn’t in space for very long. Even Viceland sent a spliff up 32.4km into the atmosphere.
And earlier this year, Space Tango, a Kentucky-based space research company, sent hemp seeds to the ISS via a SpaceX rocket, returned them to earth and started growing them. Their results don’t seem to be published yet.


Reveals the Nazi-Reptilian infiltration of the U.S. government, their secret space program, and their slave colonies throughout the solar system. The Nazis did not really lose World War II. They made it appear that way in order to divert attention from the alliance between the Fourth Reich and the race of aliens known as the Reptilians--an ancient galactic civilization obsessed with conquest and domination. After the German surrender in 1945, the Nazi-Reptilian alliance infiltrated the U.S. military-industrial complex. Through "Operation Paperclip," the Nazis and Reptilians removed their political opponents, such as the Kennedys, and moved into policy-making positions in post-war America, infiltrating aerospace companies, banking, media, and the U.S. government, including NASA and the CIA. But their real target was not the United States--it was the solar system. As Len Kasten reveals in startling detail--including revelations of antigravity propulsion technology, alien techniques of mass mind control, and hyperdimensional teleportation capabilities--the Nazi-Reptilian alliance used their newfound power, wealth, and influence to launch a Secret Space Program with interstellar spaceports in Antarctica and on Mars as well as an eleven-story base of operations on the Moon.

Our Favourite NASA Mission Patches
A NASA Mission Patch is one the most intriguing illustrations we can think of. The small embroideries must honor the uniqueness of the space flight, and they are designed by astronauts in collaboration with artist at NASA Graphics Division. They are also powerful symbols of courage, pride and belonging.
Since the beginning of 1970s, space mission patches became a tradition at NASA. The visionary illustrations we have seen since then have been inspiring to us, and here we gathered some of our favorites for your inspiration.
1965: the Tradition of Space Patches Begins
According to the accounts of NASA Graphics Division, the first Space Mission Patch was designed by Gemini 5 crewmates Gordon Cooper and Charles Conrad. The Gemini mission patch was a first for the space agency, no crewed mission had one before. Although it was difficult, Cooper, a stubborn man, insisted on having a patch until his proposal got approved.
Pride and Belonging: Space Mission Patches
Today patches are still a very important element of each mission. Emotionally, the small illustrations express the uniqueness of the flight, plus a sense of pride and accomplishment in belonging to a project important for the whole humankind.
NASA patches are attached to spacesuits astronauts wear during their missions. But the little illustrations are not exclusive to the crew that will perform the actual flight. Everyone involved in the mission wears a uniform with the embroidery on it, including engineers, technicians, and scientists – everyone contributing to the success of the mission. Patches then come to symbolise the collective effort behind each mission.
The highly symbolic embroideries are used by crews all over the world, not only by the American Agency. All of them have a certain visionary quality, they tell epic stories in small, 4-inches illustrations. ESA, Роскосмос, CMSA and even SpaceX crews have a special design for each and every one of their missions.
However, something sets NASA patches apart. Something in NASA patches is different and more attractive. We could list many reasons why this is true, but we believe it is mostly because they follow strict rules for their design process, which were specified in the legendary 1976 NASA Graphic Standard Manual.
NASA Graphic Standards Manual
If you mention Nasa to a graphic designer, their first thought will go to the Nasa Graphic Standards Manual (have a look, it’s free to download here). This is a seminal book for designers and anyone appreciative of beautiful things.
The famous manual was published in 1976 by the graphic design duo Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn, who will be remembered as the inventors of the worm, Nasa most futuristic (and according to most, better designed) logo (if you are curious about more histories of famous logo designs, have a look at our look on Stranger Things and MTV logos) .
The logo earned its name thanks to the movement and the metallic feel of the lettering, plus the missing bar on both As. The way it looks suggests modernity, innovation, and a futuristic feel we really like.
But the manual is not only about the logo. Published in January 1976, the document responded to a call of the National Endowment for the Arts’ Federal Graphics Improvement Program to revamp the identity of the agency. These are the years just after the moon landing, nothing much was going on, and NASA needed a new image.
That’s how the two designers created a document devoted to coordinating the identity of a huge organisation, something that was never seen before in the field of branding and graphic design. The instructions create a consistent approach to everything NASA. There are details about just everything, from logo placement in space shuttles to typography size for invoices.
It is all there: trucks, space suits, documents, uniforms, and of course space mission patches. Everything in the manual is planned and executed with such skill and sensitivity, it’s difficult not to fall in love with it.
The Design Process behind a Mission Patch
Designing a mission patch is no easy task, the small illustration has to fit the whole narrative of the mission, and the epic adventure of the astronauts has to be represented in a 4-inch embroidery.
On page 18, the NASA Graphic Standards Manual reads as follows: “Part of the tradition of NASA revolves around the pride taken in the accomplishment of various individual projects or missions. One mode for expression of this pride has been the mission patch. Because of the relatively short duration of any specific mission and because of the unique personality of each of the patches, they should occupy their own visual space, separated from official NASA identification. In this way, the two elements are noncompetitive and the mission patch can achieve the emphasis it deserves.”
We could never explain it better than that.
Usually, the design process starts right after the crew is assigned to a mission. It is custom that the youngest member of the crew takes care of the mission patch, as they are the most excited about the next flight into space. The rules to follow are stated in the manual, and after the first sketches sometimes crews involve an artist to complete the job.
This is what Tim Gagnon (a NASA space patch artist) says about the many rules of designing a mission patch: “As can be expected, there’s a long list of specifications and rules to follow, such as using block lettering to list the crew members’ names and sometimes a slogan, and avoiding any kind of visual symbolism that might be misinterpreted.”
Contemporary Artworks inspired by NASA mission Patches
NASA, the Moon landing, and everything-space have a huge impact on the imagination of creatives and artists across all disciplines. Illustration, advertising, fine art, you name it.
Space Mission Patches, with their visionary and futuristic quality, hold a special place in the imaginary of contemporary artist, especially in those fascinated by retro futurism. Many have created their own version of aviation, NASA or space mission art. Space Shuttles, complex retro machinery, space suits. Here are some examples of how our favourite contemporary artists have created artworks inspired by retro NASA aesthetics.
NASA Aesthetics: Now it's your Turn

Fifty years after Neil Armstrong, one of the Apollo 11 crew, placed his left foot on the surface of the moon for the first time in human history, our fascination with Earths satellite has lost none of its power. NASA Apollo 11: Man on the Moon tracks the astronauts journey to the moon and documents the visual materials that the three crew members brought back with them. They were supplied with a Hasselblad 500EL Data Camera with Réseau plates and a Zeiss Biogon 60mm /5.6 lens with which they were to take photographs before and during the mission. The visual material that emerged from this can be seen in NASAs online archive and is shown for the first time in its entirety in NASA Apollo 11: Man on the Moon. The Discovered series is a cooperation between the HFBK /Hamburg University of Fine Arts, the HGB /Leipzig Academy of Fine Arts and the ABK /Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design, which honours a selection of student projects with the opportunity to publish their work with Spector Books.

The maiden sortie, flown from Shanghai's Pudong International airport, was broadcast live on Chinese television, with a camera behind the pilot's shoulder. Another camera mounted fore of the nose gear faced backward.
The landing gear was extended throughout the entire flight, which appeared to be uneventful. Comac says that all 15 parameter tests originally planned were successfully carried out during the first flight. After the landing, the aircraft taxied to a parking bay, where journalists gathered to film the aircraft's five man crew emerge. (Source: flightglobal.com, 5-May-2017)

A: We'll just nuke it! One B-52 with about a half-dozen or so cruise missiles, complete with nuclear warheads, ought to do the trick.
Oh, wait. Not headed for New Orleans, headed for Shreveport instead, to some Air Force base there, to decommission a couple few useless old missiles they had lying around in North Dakota. Yeah, riiiiight.
Beyond a few interesting curlicues in the Red River, Shreveport has nothing much to recommend it. You'd never miss it if they nuked that place. I'd never miss it anyway. I can see how Soybean Steve might disagree, though it's a bit fuzzy just exactly which Red River Valley the song is talking about. All of them, maybe.
From the CNN article:
Shepperd [a retired Air Force major general and military analyst for CNN] said the United States had agreed in a Cold War-era treaty not to fly nuclear weapons. "It appears that what happened was this treaty agreement was violated," he said.
The Air Force announced that all flights of fighters and bombers in the United States will be halted on September 14 to allow for a review of procedures.
Once the mistake was discovered, the Air Force immediately began an inventory of all of its nuclear weapons, a military official said.
Today is September 5, what are they planning to do for the next 9 days?


Seminari: Robotics and Space Engineering in Tohoku University
- Seminari: Robotics and Space Engineering in Tohoku University
- 08/03/2017 de 12:00 a 13:00
By professor Kazuya Yoshida, Full Professor in Department of Aerospace Engineering, Tohoku University, Japan
Place: Sala d'Actes del TR5
Date: El 8 de març ,12.00 h
In this seminar talk, past and recent activities on robotics and space engineering in Tohoku University, Japan are introduced. In the department of Aerospace Engineering, Professor Kazuya Yoshida has been conducting a variety of research activities on the dynamics and control of space robotic systems ranging from orbital free-flying robots to planetary exploration rovers.

Launch of Two-Stage Hybrid Rocket
NCKU is the first academic unit in Taiwan to launched a two-stage hybrid rocket with 1,500 kg-class thrust and 300 kg-class thrust.
At the short-term scientific research rocket launch site of NSTC in Syuhai Village, Mudan Township, Pingtung County, NCKU successfully launched a two-stage hybrid rocket of 1,500 kg-class thrust and 300 kg-class thrust at 6:47 am today (11/8). NSTC affirmed the efforts of the NCKU team, and also expressed its gratitude to the Syuhai tribe of the MudanTownship Public Office in Pingtung County for their support and assistance.
The two-stage hybrid rocket was developed and produced by a large multidisciplinary hybrid rocket team led by Yei-Chin Chao, chair professor of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics of NCKU, with a total length of 6.2 meters, a maximum diameter of 34 centimeters, and a weight of about 260 kilograms. The thrust classes are 1,500 kg in the first stage and 300 kg in the second stage. In this test flight, the first stage of the rocket was successfully separated after 13 seconds of burning, according to the mission flight plan, and the preliminary judgment of the second stage rocket seems also appropriately trigger the propulsion, but the propulsion duration and the final flight trajectory has to be investigated carefully by NCKU after the experiment. This is the first time that a Taiwanese academic unit has launched a two-stage hybrid rocket with 1,500 kg thrust and 300 kg thrust, and successfully completed the key technology test of aerodynamic saperation and high-altitude ignition.
The scientific research rocket was originally scheduled to be launched on August 1, but after the completion of the oxidant filling operation before launch, the NCKU team found that there was a carbon fiber stretching and peeling phenomenon at the assembly interface of the carbon fiber barrel tank, although there was no leakage in the high-pressure barrel tank body, but the flight test task needed to be reviewed with the highest safety standards, so it was decided to cancel the launch, and only reapplied after completing the reinforcement and passing the 60 bar (about 60 atmospheric pressure) water pressure test, and the launch was successful.
Professor Yei-Chin Chao said that based on the 1,500-kilogram thrust hybrid rocket successfully launched in 2019, after three years of research and improvement, major breakthroughs have been made in engine development, component design and manufacturing, disjointed mechanism and assembly, and aerial ignition. Moreover, the key components and supporting instruments required for rocket flight, regardless of design, technology and manufacturing, are all from the hands of large teams and Chinese people, and 100% autonomous. In addition to verifying the thruster system, aerodynamic disconnection and high-altitude re-ignition technology of the two rockets, it is also expected to achieve the full tracking of the rocket’s high dynamic trajectory through the communication telemetry avionics system and the high-dynamic GPS “INS/GNSS real-time trajectory tracking” system.
In addition, the rocket is also equipped with the scientific “Compact Scintillator Array Detector” (ComSAD) designed by Yi Yang, associate professor of the Department of Physics of NCKU, which is the first high-energy cosmic ray detector developed by Taiwan and can be used in sounding rockets and CubeSats to detect the energy and direction of cosmic rays. The sounding rocket mission is mainly to test the basic performance of ComSAD as the basis for future missions, hoping to complete scientific missions such as CubeSats Galaxy at a lower cost in the future.
The National Space Organization of NARLabs of NSTC, which is responsible for maintaining the short-term scientific research rocket launch site, pointed out that the two-stage hybrid rocket independently developed by NCKU has entered the practical stage of breaking through the important key of disconnection and high-altitude ignition. The 1,500 kg thrust class hybrid rocket can meet the design specifications and operate normally, which means that the NCKU team has indeed mastered the principle of thrust amplification, and this research and development result is not easy, and it is expected to carry scientific payloads and obtain more space data in the future.
NSTC said that with the development of the emerging global space industry, Taiwan should seize the opportunity, integrate the academical research circles and the industry, and actively invest in space-related niche industries. NSTC has set up a short-term scientific research rocket launch site in Syuhai to provide legal and safe facilities for space research teams. They will also continue to supervise the National Space Organization, which will soon be upgraded to an independent administrative institution, make proper use of this short-term scientific research rocket launch site, actively link the energy of Taiwan’s industry, education and research circles, upgrade the level of space science and technology, cultivate key space science and technology talents, and lead Taiwan to seize the new blue ocean of space.


The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced in a press release on
November 26 that it successfully used a water propellent system to drive its
“EQUULEUS” CubeSat. The craft was launched by NASA’s Artemis I on November 16.
EQUULEUS has a water propellant engine named AQUARIUS (AQUA ResIstojet
propUlsion System) that uses heat from communications equipment to turn water
into steam, which can be jetted out to generate thrust.
Why Use Water as Fuel?
Water is a better choice than other fuels for use in small, cheap satellites
because it is easier to store and handle.
EQUULEUS Flight Path
Artemis I injected the spacecraft into a lunar flyby trajectory. Then EQUULEUS
fired its steam engines and started its journey to the second Moon Lagrange
point (EML2), and it should take a year and a half to reach EML2.
“I am proud of the EQUULEUS operation team, who were able to immediately
complete the orbital control necessary for the lunar fly-by, just one day
after the checkout operation shortly after launch. This was a difficult
operation that had to be successful. I feel we were able to succeed in this
critical operation due to their careful preparation, including numerous
back-up plans, and the ability to respond flexibly through training. We are
now at the start line of the long voyage to the Lagrange point,”
said FUNASE Ryu, an associate professor at the Department of Aeronautics
and Astronautics, the University of Tokyo, Japan.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — SpaceX launched 4 astronauts to the Worldwide House Station for NASA on Thursday, together with the primary individual from the Arab world going up for an prolonged monthslong keep.
The Falcon rocket bolted from Kennedy House Heart shortly after midnight, illuminating the night time sky because it headed up the East Coast.
Practically 80 spectators from the United Arab Emirates watched from the launch website as astronaut Sultan al-Neyadi — solely the second Emirati to fly to area — blasted off on his six-month mission.
Half a world away in Dubai and elsewhere throughout the UAE, faculties and workplaces broadcast the launch reside.
Additionally driving the Dragon capsule that’s due on the area station on Friday: NASA’s Stephen Bowen, a retired Navy submariner who logged three area shuttle flights, and Warren “Woody” Hoburg, a former analysis scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Expertise and area beginner, and Andrei Fedyaev, an area rookie who’s retired from the Russian Air Pressure.
“Welcome to orbit,” SpaceX Launch Management radioed, noting liftoff occurred 4 years to the day after the capsule’s first orbital take a look at flight. “If you happen to loved your experience, please don’t neglect to present us 5 stars.”
The primary try and launch them was known as off Monday on the final minute due to a clogged filter within the engine ignition system.
“It could have taken two occasions, but it surely was definitely worth the journey,” Bowen mentioned.
NASA’s area operations mission chief, Kathy Lueders, mentioned Thursday’s launch enhanced an evening sky already showcasing a conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. The 2 planets have appeared aspect by aspect all week, seeming to develop ever nearer.
“We added a vibrant new star to that night time sky tonight,” she instructed reporters.
The area station newcomers will change a U.S.-Russian-Japanese crew that has been up there since October. The opposite station residents are two Russians and an American whose six-month keep was doubled, till September, after their Soyuz capsule sprang a leak. A substitute Soyuz arrived final weekend.
Al-Neyadi, a communications engineer, thanked everybody in Arabic after which English as soon as reaching orbit. “Launch was unbelievable. Superb,” he mentioned.
He served as backup for the primary Emirati astronaut, Hazzaa al-Mansoori, who rode a Russian rocket to the area station in 2019 for a weeklong go to. The oil-rich federation paid for al-Neyadi’s seat on the SpaceX flight.
The UAE’s minister for public training and superior know-how, Sarah al-Amiri, mentioned the lengthy mission “supplies us a brand new venue for science and scientific discovery for the nation.”
“We don’t wish to simply go to area after which not have a lot to do there or not have affect,” mentioned the director basic of the UAE’s area heart in Dubai, Salem al-Marri.
The Emirates have already got a spacecraft orbiting Mars, and a mini rover is hitching a experience to the moon on a Japanese lander. Two new UAE astronauts are coaching with NASA’s newest astronaut picks in Houston.
Saudi Prince Sultan bin Salman was the primary Arab in area, launching aboard shuttle Discovery in 1985. He was adopted two years later by Syrian astronaut Muhammed Faris, launched by Russia. Each had been in area for a couple of week.
Al-Neyadi might be joined this spring by two Saudi astronauts going to the area station on a brief non-public SpaceX flight paid by their authorities.
“It’s going to be actually thrilling, actually attention-grabbing” to have three Arabs in area directly, he mentioned final week. “Our area can also be thirsty to be taught extra.”
He’s taking over a number of dates to share together with his crewmates, particularly throughout Ramadan, the Muslim holy month which begins this month. As for observing Ramadan in orbit, he mentioned fasting isn’t obligatory because it might make him weak and jeopardize his mission.
Bowen, the crew’s chief, mentioned the 4 have jelled properly as a staff regardless of variations between their nations. Even with the strain over the warfare in Ukraine, the U.S. and Russia have continued to work collectively on the area station and commerce seats on rides there.
“It’s simply large to have the chance to fly with these guys,” Bowen mentioned.

The fallout 3 museum of technology is a new museum that has been open in San Francisco for three months. It’s an interactive space where individuals are able to explore the technology used in the film, and even take away parts of the film and have them preserved.
We’re not sure how much of the museum is actually for us, but it’s a good place to spend an hour or two exploring the technology used in the film, and then bringing it back to the museum for future generations to see.
The museum has its own website, and the videos and pictures of the various parts preserved in it are available on the museum’s Facebook page. I can’t imagine that anyone would be willing to give up the ability to see what the film was actually made of just because it was available in the museum.
The museum has the usual assortment of technology and gadgets, but it also has the usual assortment of memorabilia. The most interesting thing on display is a video of a real space station that was used by the astronauts in the film. We’re told that it was actually a museum in the old Soviet Union, but that it was sealed off due to the Cold War, and so no one knows what it was like to use it.
The video is from a real space station that was used by the astronauts on the film. It’s clear that this really was a space station that was used by the astronauts during the filming of the film. It’s also clear that some parts of the space station that were used by the astronauts in the film were also used by them in the real space station, which is really cool.
There is a ton of cool technology in the museum, including a giant space elevator (which was used by the Space Shuttle), a laser cannon, a water pump, a space telescope, and a lot more. We don’t have any details about exactly why the museum was sealed off, but our theory is that the Russians wanted to keep it from any potential saboteurs because it was too dangerous to use.
The museum was sealed off from access by an automated door which, according to the official statement, had a trigger mechanism that could only be unlocked by the space shuttle’s pilot pressing a button.
The museum was so well protected though that there was no way to be sure that no one had accidentally triggered the trigger. The museum was probably built in the 1960s or 1970s, when no one would have known how to trigger the door. It’s possible that someone has already opened the door and taken items out of the museum, but we really have no idea.
If the museum had been built with the trigger mechanism located in the outside of the door, then the museum would be open to some pretty neat possibilities. Because the museum is completely sealed, we would be able to see what the door’s contents are like, as well as the doors and windows it’s been locked with. Since the museum is extremely well protected, I don’t see it being possible for someone to open the door with a crowbar.
This is actually one of the more exciting things about the game, because I can imagine seeing a random museum employee walk around and see something that they were unable to see using the outside of the museum. That’s one of my favorite parts of the game because I always want to have a peek at the museum even if I know the location is too risky.


THANKS TO ISRO SCIENTISTS , WE INDIANS FEEL PROUD AGAIN , AFTER 800 YEARS OF SLAVERY AND BEING LOOKED DOWN UPON – CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL
India scripted history today with the success of its Mars mission. The Mangalyaan entered the Mars orbit, making India the first country in the world to make it to Mars in the first attempt.
We all watched the scene unfold on TV , where Mangalyaan moved a step closer to home after the dormant main engine on the spacecraft was test-fired flawlessly.
ISRO brimming with confidence , gave one final nudge to put it in orbit around Mars that saw it make space history.
Mars resembles our earth in various ways especially with regards to time of rotation and to the tilt in axis.
Below: Mangal God.
Lord Vishnu in his Varaha Avatar lifted the earth and brought it out and placed it in a suitable orbit with fine tuning adjustments for precession , axis tilt and the magic constant of 108.

Mother earth was grateful and asked for a feminine boon. “O God give me a child of yours!” /To which God agreed. Mangal ( Mars ) is the result of this godly union with the rescued Earth.
PM Narendra Modi wore a Angaraka ( Rakta varna ) coloured jacket today.
Apt for the occasion.
Ptolemy came to India in 155 AD, and he stole from the astronomical data from Surya Siddhanta (12.85-90) , the most significant being the diameters of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn .
You must understand that these diameters were calculated accurately more than 6 millenniums ago when even the atmospheric refraction of earth was different.
The British made a big hue and cry when German Jew Sir Frederick William Herschel ( 1738-1822 ) “discovered ” Uranus on March 13th 1781—they ridiculed — hi hi the stupid Indians never knew all this. .
Indian Vedic astrology does NOT use Uranus (Shweta ) Neptune ( Shyama) Pluto ( Teevra )- as named in 7000 year old Vedas by Vyasa Muni , just because they are too far away to affect your DNA and they stay in one single rashi for too long.
For travel to outer planets, like Mars, the periapsis (closest point in the orbit) must coincide with Earth’s orbit, while apoapsis must coincide with Mar’s orbit. The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) by the Indian Space Research Organization used this Hohmann transfer orbit as its trajectory to reach Mars.
Since the satellite is in heliocentric trajectory, the fuel is not used in this travel. Fuel is used only to enter the Hohmann transfer orbit from earth and to exit the transfer orbit to enter martian orbit. This transfer orbit is thus highly fuel efficient compensating its long travel time.
A Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical one, where the periapsis is at Earth’s distance from the Sun and the apoapsis is at Mars’ distance from the Sun. The transfer orbit has to be timed so that when the spacecraft departs Earth, it will arrive at its orbit apoapsis when Mars is at the same position in its orbit. Earth and Mars align properly for a Hohmann transfer once every 26 months.
Our four-stage Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) could deliver Mars Orbiter Mission (with a mass of 1340 kilograms, fully fueled) to Earth orbit, without any heavy, powerful upper stage like Centaur of US..
Our Mars Orbiter Mission got to Mars using its much smaller Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM) and small amount of fuel –unlike the US Maven ( NASA ).
Methane (CH4) is an organic molecule present in gaseous form in the Earth’s atmosphere. More than 90% of methane on our home planet is produced by living organisms.
After almost a year of searching, NASA’s Curiosity rover has turned up no traces of the four-pronged hydrocarbon known as methane. However India expects to find methane on mars—a methane sensor will look for sources of the gas.
Methane has a chemical lifetime of about 300-600 years, which is very short on geological time scales. This implies that the methane that is observed today cannot have been produced 4.5 billion years ago, when the planets formed. So, it is possible that methanogenes, existing deep under the surface of Mars.
Below: 6 years ago , India “impact probed” her flag on the moon
Using data collected by India’s Chandrayaan mission, NASA had detected magmatic water locked under the surface of the Moon, for the first time .
Before India, various countries have launched Mars missions, but out of the 51 attempts, only 21 were successful. India now joins the Martian club that comprises the US, Russia and the European Space Agency

In less than a year , India will be the sixth nation on this planet to have her own GPS system.
On April 4 2014, we launched the second navigation satellite which will provide an indigenous alternative to the United States’ Global Positioning System (GPS) by 2015.
Once the seven satellite IRNSS program becomes fully operational by 2016, it will not only positively impact the lives of common Indians but will also be a strategic game-changer with its immense defense, security and counter-terrorism applications. IRNSS satellites would revolve round the earth at the height of about 36,000 kilometers from the earth’s surface.
It will have a highly accurate Rubidium atomic clock is part of the navigation payload of the satellite.
The IRNSS would provide two services, with the Standard Positioning Service open for civilian use and the Restricted Service, encrypted one, for authorised users (military).
India won’t have to look up to foreign countries in times of external threats as was the case during the Kargil War of 1999.

When India noticed the Pakistani troops’ deep incursions in Kargil , India asked for American help and sought GPS data of the region to get the big picture of the threat. However, the Americans refused to cooperate.

When the Chairman of ISRO, K Radhakrishnan prayed at a famous temple and did puja just before the launch of the MOM mission to Mars from Sriharikota , the atheists, rationalists , Communists and Christian evangelists attacked him.
Narendra Nayak, President of Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations (FIRA), said in a statement, “We strongly condemn the attitude of the Chairman of ISRO K Radhakrishnan who has insulted the Constitution of India by placing the replica of the satellite meant for the Mars mission at the feet of a deity at Tirupati. He is unfit to occupy the position of the head of the space mission and should be immediately sacked. Radhakrishnan’s actions are also in violation of Article 51AH of the Indian constitution which states that it is the duty of every citizen of the country to develop scientific temper and the spirit of inquiry and humanism “

Nirbhay is India’s long range, subsonic cruise missile. It has stealth and very high accuracy. The missile has a range of more than 1000 km –how much more it is a secret . It weighs about one tonne and has a length of 6 metres. It carries a ring laser gyroscope for high-accuracy navigation and a radio altimeter for the height determination. It is capable of being launched from multiple platforms on land, sea and air .It is adapted for the Indo/Russian Su-30MKI. The missile is capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
Nirbhay is able to pick out a target and attack it among multiple targets. The missile has a loitering capability, i.e., it can go round a target and perform several manoeuvres and then re-engage it. With two side wings, the missile is capable of flying at different altitudes ranging from 500 m to 4 km above the ground and can also fly at low altitudes to avoid detection by enemy radar.
It is capable of delivering 24 different types of warheads depending on mission requirements and uses an inertial navigation system for guidance. The missile supplements Brahmos by delivering warheads farther than the 290 km range of high speed Brahmos.

DSCS, a 4 megapixel streaming video payload for UAVs
This project was funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Garry Shields, director of the Advanced Visualization Laboratory at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock Division (NSWCCD), controlled development of this system and communication among the different companies and research facilities involved. The goal of the project was to detect a standard 12-ounce soda can (simulated IED) from 500 feet altitude with high resolution digital imagery captured and transmitted by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It turns out we were able to resolve foot prints, ground distrubances, and objects as thin as an extension cord. The CONOPS would be to fly down a suspect road just before a convoy and compare the data to the previous day's flight and search for possible disturbance areas where an IED might be likely. A secondary goal was to improve situational awareness on board unmanned vehicles with a specialized 360 degree camera. The UAV platform chosen for this project was a small plane with an 8 foot wingspan and a 5 kilogram max combined payload and fuel capacity.
Hildstrom Engineering was tasked with general development support of the payload and ground station systems including:


Wow. Kennedy Space Center. Wow.
We've lived in Florida more than two years and hadn't been to visit this incredible place. I guess that's always the way. The things that tourists come to see, the residents never go to see. We don't like touristy kinds of things, so that was part of it. But we're both big fans of extreme technology, so we really had to visit it before we book out of Florida. (You might have noticed a few disparaging remarks about Florida in the blog. Don't get me started. I could rant for days.)
This is the tourist Kim visiting the Kennedy Space Center. We stayed away from the super touristy things, like the IMAX theatre. We wanted to see the history of the space program, the old rocket ships, stuff like that.
We were hoping we'd get to go into the Vehicle Assembly Building. It's a truly amazing building. It's 23 stories high and covers 8 acres. This is where the orbiter gets mated to the massive fuel tank (plus the two booster rockets). All four pieces are the shuttle, not just the one piece that looks like a plane. But, no. There might have been a time when ordinary visitors were allowed in there, but not now. I think there's a scene in Apollo 13 where tourists are in that building.
There are launches coming up. That's very exciting and we would really really really like to see one. Maybe we'll make the two hour drive and take our chances on getting a spot from which to watch. This is the orbiter Atlantis (the white part that looks like a plane). It's sitting on the pad waiting. The launch is scheduled for December 6th. This will be the Atlantis' eighth visit to the International Space Station. The mission is called STS-122 and you can find out about it and the crew here. This photo is from the NASA site, we did NOT get that close.
As I said, we didn't get very close to the launch pad, but this shows a bit of the layout. Way over there is the shuttle on launch pad 39A. See the lighter square in the bottom left of the photo? That's to call attention to the crawlerway. What incredible technology. Looks like a gravel road, right? Well, that 'road' is 7' deep. It has to support the weight of the crawler-transporter plus the shuttle.
This is another unbelievable invention. This is the crawler-transporter. It weighs 6 million pounds. Yup, 6 million. And the shuttle on top of it weighs another 4.5 million pounds. Do the math. The crawlerway has to stay put while this behemoth rolls from the VAB to the launch pad. It takes about 8 hours. This is also one of NASA's photos.
It's always been a bit hard for me to understand that when NASA throws something up into space, there are two very different places where it's happening. There's all the stuff that happens to get the shuttle put together, taken out to the pad and then actually launched into space. That's the part that Kennedy Space Center is all about. Then there's Mission Control, as in "Houston, we have a problem." So there's this huge crowd of people in Florida and this other huge crowd in Texas and somehow (you can look it up on the NASA site, I've given you the links) they get the rocket or shuttle or mission or whatever it is up and back. Amazing. This is a re-creation, using the original consoles, of the control room at Kennedy Space Center that was used for the Apollo missions.
Here's tourist Kim again, happy and excited to be standing under the massive engines of the Saturn V rocket, the same rocket that was used in the Apollo missions.
Rocket engine. Umm. What can I say? It's really huge and incredibly powerful and more than that you'll have to investigate on your own.
We looked around the International Space Station Processing Facility. There actually were things in this place waiting to go out to the Space Station. Remarkable. This is the famous Canada Arm. Meet the Canadian who manages the Canada Space Station Program. He knows a lot about the Arm.
There were work and habitat modules that you could walk through. Very cool. You have to be a total organization freak to even think about spending time in one of those things. And you obviously better not be claustrophobic. This is a wardroom. That means bedroom on a ship. The zipper bag is the bed. Gnarly.
Here's more of the equipment awaiting transport to the ISS. JAXA is Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. So the deal is, countries that have stuff that needs to go to the ISS bring that stuff here and then it gets scheduled and goes up. This is like visiting another planet. Know what I mean? So alien. So not everyday.
This is the Rocket Garden. It was fun standing next to real rocket ships. This is no attraction by the highway on your way across the country. No sirree. This is the real deal. And extremely awe inspiring.
By the end of the day, tourist Kim had really seen enough and read enough little explanation signs. A cup of coffee was needed before the long drive home. It was a lovely day.


The F-22 is a flying RC replica of this innovative fighter jet. Boasting both the lowest stall speed and one of the highest top speeds among all of Freewing's jets, be prepared to fly a wide flight envelope with this visually stunning model aircraft!
More than 15 colors of paint and decals combine to represent the subtle but complex surface shades and panels seen on the full-size F-22. The model's main colors appear to slightly "shift" depending on the light conditions, with metallic, matte, and semi-gloss surfaces working to achieve the subtle effect. This isn't your average plain gray jet!
Main Assembly is completed primarily with screws to attach the flying surfaces. The full flying horizontal stabilizers' metal shafts rotate within steel bearings for smooth operation, and their servos along with the aileron and flap servos are housed within plastic trays for easy removal and servicing.


We are excited to introduce photographer Mike Kelley’s newest series “Airportraits” to PurePhoto!
“Wake Turbulence”, the first in this series, was photographed over the course of 16 hours at LAX in 2014 and depicts a day’s worth of flights composited into a single image. The success of “Wake Turbulence”, which started out simply as a “proof-of-concept”, inspired Mike to plan a trip around the world to repeat the process.
Over the course of two years, Mike spent an innumerable amount of hours photographing descending and ascending airplanes at airports in Sao Paulo, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Tokyo, Sydney, Auckland, Dubai and more. 5 continents and 15 airports later, Mike Kelley's project has come to fruition.


Dr. Alexander Hüttenbrink participates in ESA/DLR panel discussion at Deutscher Bundestag
From 20 to 22 January 2015 the European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) celebrated the fifth anniversary of their joint German Trainee Programme. One of the highlights of the event was a panel discussion which took place at the Members’ Restaurant of the German Bundestag. The discussion addressed the exciting topic of career opportunities in the aerospace sector. It was a particular honor for Kinexon and its Managing Director Dr. Alexander Hüttenbrink to participate in the panel discussion together with high-class speakers such as Prof. Dr. Johann-Dietrich Wörner, Chairman of the Executive Board of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and designated Director General of ESA as well as Brigitte Zypries, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and Federal Government Coordinator of German Aerospace Policy. Being a founder of an aerospace-related tech-startup, Dr. Alexander Hüttenbrink highlighted not only the valuable impact of entrepreneurship but also the enormous potential that space technology offers in terms of venture creation. Beside that he also talked about his entrepreneurial experience. The discussion was followed by a dinner with lots of interesting conversations.

Orville and Wilbur take first spot equally. The two American brothers, inventors and aviation pioneers built the world’s first successful airplane. They achieved the first powered, sustained and controlled airplane flight in and two years later surpassed their own milestone by building and flying the first fully practical airplane. 2. The First Conference of Pan-American Aeronautics, held in Santiago of Chile, recommends to the American Republics that consideration be given to the necessity to unify their aerial legislation, so as to formulate an international air code. The Farman Company of France carries out the first international commercial flight between Paris and London in a Farman F Aerobus Goliath.

Prices. Post-World War II civil aviation. By the end of World War II, many towns and cities had built their own airports.
Civil aviation experienced rapid growth during this period, as military aircraft were repurposed as airliners or personal planes. In the Convention on International Civil Aviation, aka the Chicago Convention, was established. The first two were found by a couple of Bristol's men,Smith and Coles, 'hanging around ' during the demonstration tour of Australia.
He became a flying instructor and test pilot for Bristol's under Sir George White (), assisting in the secret trials of the ' X' hydroplane series and Scouts. Civil aviation sector has transformed itself during the last hundred years.
There has been massive technological development in passenger traffic and comfort and now the civil aviation industry accounts for approximately 30% of the overall aerospace industry.

History of flight - History of flight - Construction of the sustaining wings: the problem of lift: The dream of human flight must have begun with observation of birds soaring through the sky.
For millennia, however, progress was retarded by attempts to design aircraft that emulated the beating of a bird’s wings. The generations of experimenters and dreamers who focused their attention on.
The combined Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment Act and Air Services Act established the rationale and operating arrangements for the creation of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and Airservices Australia (ASA) out of the former CAA.

With each passing decade there has been considerable developments in the technology of heavier-than-air flight.
From the first days of the Wright Brothers to the developments considered for tomorrow, aircraft have evolved along their own line of thinking seemingly irrespective of economical climate and the like - man's fascination of flight no doubt being one major driving force of the science.Renowned for its in-depth articles from specialist authors worldwide, The Aviation Historian is a quarterly journal that is valued and respected for its superb high-quality archive photography and specially-commissioned drawings, profiles and information ved and produced by a four-person team who between them have clocked up 84 years’ experience on aviation-history.At p.m.
