A Japan Airlines plane carrying 379 passengers and crew caught fire after colliding with a coast guard aircraft at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. The coast guard plane was on its way to deliver aid to those affected by a recent earthquake. Five of the six crew members on the coast guard plane have died, while all passengers and crew on the JAL flight were safely evacuated. The collision occurred shortly after the JAL flight had landed and the cause is still under investigation. The airport has closed all runways and the Japanese Prime Minister has instructed relevant agencies to assess the damage and provide information to the public.

How Japan Airlines crew led 367 passengers to safety from a burning plane - The Fiji Times
On Tuesday, a Japan Airlines passenger jet collided with a smaller plane on a runway in Tokyo. Despite the chaos and danger, the crew managed to evacuate all 367 passengers from the burning plane in just 18 minutes. They followed emergency procedures and used short, direct commands to keep passengers calm and guide them to safe exits. The crew even made the decision to open a rear exit that was not functioning, allowing passengers to slide down evacuation chutes. The entire evacuation was completed at 6:05 p.m., just 18 minutes after the plane landed. The Airbus A350, which was involved in the accident, is certified to evacuate a full load of 440 passengers in 90 seconds. The crew's quick and efficient response has been Japan Airlines crew successfully led 367 passengers to safety from a burning plane. The senior vice president of general affairs, Noriyuki Aoki, stated that the crew followed protocol by asking passengers not to take their carry-on items during an emergency evacuation. This, along with the cooperation of the passengers, led to a swift evacuation.
JAL pilots did not see coast guard plane when touching down
The pilots of the Japan Airlines jetliner that collided with a Japan Coast Guard aircraft at Tokyo's Haneda airport were unable to visually confirm the presence of the JCG plane when landing, according to an internal probe by the company. Flight control data showed no indication of controllers directing the JAL plane to abort its landing, suggesting both the pilots and controllers were unaware of the JCG aircraft on the runway. One of the pilots reported seeing something concerning right before the collision. The JCG captain, who survived the accident, stated he was cleared to enter the runway. JAL is cooperating with authorities in their investigation and has reported a loss of 15 billion yen ($105 million) due to the destroyed plane, which will be covered by insurance.
Salvage Teams of Tokyo Crash Search Jet Wrecks for Black Boxes - BNN Bloomberg
An international team of investigators is searching through the wreckage of two aircraft that collided at Tokyo Haneda airport on January 2nd. The smaller De Havilland Canada Dash 8's cockpit voice recorder was recovered, but the larger Airbus SE A350's black boxes have yet to be found. Airbus has sent experts to assist in the investigation, along with the French BEA accident investigation team. The search for the black boxes may be complicated by the fire that destroyed the aircraft and the debris field. It took two days to find the cockpit voice recorder and six days to find the flight data recorder after a similar crash in 2022. Modern aircraft have two recorders, one for cockpit voices and one for flight data, which are designed to Salvage teams in Tokyo are searching for the black boxes of a coast guard plane and a Japan Airlines jet that collided on the runway, resulting in the death of all 228 people on board. The black boxes were located after several years and provided crucial information for investigators to piece together the events leading to the accident. Livestreamed footage showed the coast guard plane stationary on the runway for 47 seconds before being struck by the jet. It was revealed that the coast guard plane did not have permission to enter the runway and the stop-bar lights indicating the runway's condition were out of service. The pilot of the jet reported seeing a "shadow" before impact. The Japan Safety Transport Board will lead the investigation and the transport ministry has promised
Japan plane collision: All 379 passengers survive, 5 coast guard crew dead
A Japan Airlines plane caught fire after colliding with a Coast Guard aircraft on the runway at Tokyo's Haneda airport. All 379 passengers and crew on the plane escaped the fire, but five of the six crew members on the Coast Guard aircraft died. The collision occurred as the Coast Guard plane was delivering aid to areas affected by a recent earthquake. The cause of the accident is still unclear and investigations are ongoing. The Prime Minister has instructed relevant agencies to assess the damage and provide information to the public. The airport has closed all runways and is working to resume operations as soon as possible. Many have praised the efforts of the rescue team and emergency responders for successfully evacuating all passengers and crew on the plane.
Japan jet crash: Airline pilots unaware of cabin fire until crew told them
A Japan Airlines flight collided with a smaller coastguard plane at Tokyo Haneda Airport, resulting in a cabin fire. The pilots were initially unaware of the fire until a flight attendant informed them. The evacuation of all 379 passengers was carried out efficiently, with the help of the crew using megaphones and shouting instructions. The evacuation lasted 18 minutes and was described as miraculous. The crew's cooperation and quick actions were crucial in ensuring the safety of all passengers. The coastguard plane was not cleared for take-off and was told to taxi to a holding point, contradicting the captain's statement that he had permission to enter the runway. The well-drilled evacuation of the Japan Airlines plane contrasts with previous incidents where passengers did not strictly follow safety On Tuesday, an Airbus A350, made mostly of advanced materials like carbon fibre-reinforced plastic, was involved in a major accident. This is the first incident of its kind for this type of aircraft. The Japan Transport Safety Board is conducting an investigation and the aircraft manufacturer is sending a team of specialists to assist. The pilots were not aware of a cabin fire until the crew informed them.
Despite the tragedy, it is considered a miracle that there were no civilian fatalities. The quick actions of the cabin crew ensured the safety of all passengers. The airport was closed for several hours, but has since reopened. The incident has sparked shock and confusion in the aviation community, and the Japanese Prime Minister has called for a thorough assessment of the damage. Our thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives in this tragic accident.

A Chinese rocket is speedily entering the Earth’s surface. This weekend the uncontrolled rocket has caused chaos that has also led to an alarming situation. Space debris entering the planet’s surface are very common, but this time it is huge.
- The US is watching for fragments of Chinese rocket entering the surface.
- The location of the wreckage is yet to be detected, but it will likely fall by Saturday.
- The space command said that the exact location is not known till now.
Where it will hit “cannot be pinpointed until within hours of its reentry,” the Pentagon said in a statement this week.
US officials are watching the space trajectory, and they are aware of the space debris. John Kirby, the Pentagon spokesperson, said that they are aware of the circumstances. Debris is plunging towards the Earth’s surface, but they believe that it is not the end of the days.
Earth’s surface is warm, and everything that falls either burns up completely or destroys before it makes an impact on the earth’s surface. And if the rocket weighs more extra, there are chances that debris may reach the planet, probably the populated area.
Last year some big pieces of uncontrolled debris passed over Los Angeles and Central Park in New York City before falling into the Atlantic ocean.
This Chinese rocket is speeding at 18,000 mph, and tiny changes in trajectory could change its direction. Based on the current observation, the debris may fall on the north side of New York, Madrid, or Beijing and as far south as southern Chile or Wellington, New Zealand.
Due to the earth’s heat, this Chinese rocket may burn up to some extent while some could come straight to the planet. The core of this Chinese rocket weighs about 21 tons and could cause potential damage.

We went to the airshow this weekend. Was definitely an AWESOME experience! Wanted to take the kiddo ever since he began pointing out airplanes flying over on the way to NETEE. He had a great time, and was not scared when the F-16 screamed by! Looking forward to next year’s airshow already. Didn’t even think to bring the long lens out.. I sure missed out! Next year….


February 24, 1997
Earlier this month, following our 50th anniversary party, I had a chance to get away for a week’s vacation to Florida. The idea of heading to Disney and warmer parts was kicked around for maybe a month before we left, so plus were quick and not quite complete.
As timing would have it, NASA was kind enough to time their shuttle launch with our vacation, allowing myself and a friend to view the spectaular show of a shuttle launch first hand. The Discovery was headed heavenly to do repairs and scheduled servicing on the Hubble Space Telescope.
After a long drive down, towing my trailer through a snowstorm in West Virginia, we arrived at the Kennedy Space Center on Sunday. We were not disappointed. From the press center, located three and half miles from the launch site, the shuttle looked as big as we were. However, the vehicle assembly building, next door to us was monstrous.
On Monday night, after a full day of theme park hopping and a few hours of rest, we headed east to watch the launch. After passing through two check point gates, we arrived with 55 minutes on the count-down clock.
I ran around setting up my camera and video camera. My pictures are nothing compared to NASA’s, but I would know they were mine.
During the hold at T minus nine minutes, I recall thinking about the millions of things that are going on right then to make the launch successful. I also recall thinking about the unsuccessful launch of the Challenger.
Then it happened. 3…2…1… lift off. From three and a half miles away I heard the rockets ignite; I saw it lift off; and, as it cleared the tower, I could feel it rubbing through the air. It was all over in a few minutes, but what a show!
We have a video of the last 25 seconds on the countdown until the shuttle’s main engines cut off once in space. I’ sure I’ll wear out the tape in to time.
Right now its Friday morning and I’m listening to the NASA audio feed on our trusty scanner as the Discovery heads back to Mother Earth. It’s a flawless landing at 3:32 am, after almost ten days in space and 4.1 million miles of flight.
Oh, by the way, we enjoyed 88 degrees and sun on Friday, while I understand it was a bit messy here. Well, maybe our timing we pretty good after all.
If you happened to pass by our office last week, and noticed a trailer in the parking lot it’s mine. Between the ice and snow, then the warmth and rain (making the ground a sea of mud) I have’t been able to get the trailer back home, darn winter.

Description: This is a repaint for the payware Captain Sim C-130 X-perience J-30 model, based on the C-130J-30 RAAF A97-449, 'Walk The Line' nose art scheme. “Walk The Line” is a reference to the distinct separating line in the aircraft's two-tone grey colour scheme. There was a short thread on the Captain Sim C-130 some years ago, but I am a little surprised there has not been more interest, given that this is a detailed simulation for FS9 of a Classic period aircraft, the C-130A now being available (both Base Pack and Extension Pack are required) for slightly under £20 English pounds. FSX - C-130 Hercules Captain Sim Patch One of the greatest transport aircraft in history, the C-130 Hercules is brought to life by the experts in high-quality flight simulation air.
This is a repaint for the captain sim C-130 X-perience (http://www.captainsim.com/products/c131/), to use this repaint, BASE pack is required. This repaint contains an Evergreen International Airlines livery. The particular aircraft included is the one with registration number N130EV. This particular aircraft, USAF serial 64-0552 (c/n 382-4047), was built for the USAF in 1965 and immediately converted into a WC-130E. In 1999 it was acquired by Evergreen International Airlines and registered N130EV (this repaint). The aircraft was purchased by Sabena Technics in 2007 as a replacement for the C130 (CH-02) lost in a hangar fire on Brussels Airport on May, 5th, 2006. Sabena technics converted the aircraft to the Belgian C-130H state, and it now serves as CH-13 with the Belgian Air Component. Repaint by Lars Domen

I constructed a weather condition balloon set as well as determined to send out a brand-new iPhone 7 while its recording into space without any type of case/protection.
There ended up being a massive air stream from launch site so the iPhone took a trip approx. 3 hrs away as well as it took us one more 3 hours to trek onto unknown mountains to retrieve this thing.
Comment below if anyone has any kind of suggestion why the apple iphone randomly closed off and also stopped taping in space prior to it also reached burst elevation (100,000 ft.)! It was a 128GB version so it must have recorded the whole collision landing.

When lives are at stake, defence and security-related decisions require accurate, actionable intelligence and a detailed understanding of the situation on the ground.  It used a constellation of five satellites and could provide a navigational fix approximately once per hour. It is now only about 10% of the size it was in 1960…..In the 1990s, a dam was built to prevent North Aral water from flowing into the South Aral. This program involved placing space stations in Earth orbit as an alternative to satellites. Dive … The original film is held by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

Spy satellites have been with us since the dawn of the Space Age. Military Strategic and Tactical Relay, or Milstar, is a constellation of military satellites managed by the United States Air Force. Keyhole satellites are identified by a code word and a “KH” designator, as summarized in the following table. This is a difference between 22,000 miles for the GEO satellites, 5,000 miles altitude for the MEO satellites, and only 320 miles for the LEO satellites.” Naturally, it’s far cheaper to send a satellite to LEO than to GEO — which has led to an explosion of new small satellites being launched into orbit.

However, the unique imaging geometry of the CORONA satellite cameras, which produced long, narrow film strips, makes correcting spatial distortions in the images very challenging and has therefore limited their use by researchers.”, CAST reports that they have “developed methods for efficient, orthorectification of CORONA imagery and now provides free public access to our imagery database for non-commercial use. Image resolution is 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters). NRO’s website is here: NRO’s early generations of Keyhole satellites were placed in low Earth orbits, acquired the desired photographic images on film during relatively short-duration missions, and then returned the film to Earth in small reentry capsules for airborne recovery.

Since the CORONA, ARGON, and LANYARD data were no longer critical to national security and could be of historical value for global change research, the images were declassified by Executive Order 12951 in 1995”, You can read Executive Order 12951 here: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/WCPD-1995-02-27/pdf/WCPD-1995-02-27-Pg304.pdf. 14 Aug 2014. We map out and quantify the world’s complexities so that organizations can make more informed decisions.”, “By applying artificial intelligence to satellite, UAV, and other geospatial data sources, we seek to discover and quantify societal and economic trends on Earth that are indistinguishable to the human eye. Abstract only at: Carolyn Gramling, “Cold War–era spy satellite images show Himalayan glaciers are melting fast – Declassified photos and NASA data provide a picture of accelerating ice loss,” 19 June 2019, Sciencenews website at: Geoff Manaugh, “Archaeologists Are Spotting Ancient Ruins in Cold War Spy Photos,” The Atlantic, 23 June 2016. Protected systems offer more sophisticated security protection like antijam features and nuclear survivability, while narrowband systems are intended for basic communications services that do not require high bandwidth. Use imagery to analyse and report on the status and activity of deployed military forces. The project floundered due to the lack of any mechanism to protect the satellites from attack resulting in the cancellation of Defender in 1968. Up until the 1960s, Aral Sea salinity was around 10 grams per liter, less than one-third the salinity of the ocean. In a 7 June 2016 article entitled, ”Spy satellites reveal early start to Antarctic ice shelf collapse,” Thomas Sumner reported: “Analyzing declassified images from spy satellites, researchers discovered that the downhill flow of ice on Antarctica’s Larsen B ice shelf was already accelerating as early as the 1960s and ’70s. The most common missions are intelligence gathering, navigation and military communications. About 18,000 black-and-white images and 230 color images are available. Additional reading related to US optical reconnaissance satellites. This set of photos, declassified in 2011, consists of more photographs from the KH-9 HEXAGON mapping program. In the United States the first formal military satellite programs, Weapon System 117L, was developed in the mid 1950s. A European satellite designed to collect Earth sciences data and distribute it freely to people around the world has the unintended consequence of detecting military radars. Geospatial intelligence, or GEOINT, is the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth. NRO developed several generations of classified Keyhole (KH) military optical reconnaissance satellites that have been the primary sources of Earth imagery for the US Department of Defense (DoD) and intelligence agencies. Only military sources, however, have access to images captured at the satellite's maximum ground resolution of 0.41 meters; Commercial clients' images are re-sampled at a 0.5-meter resolution. As of December 2018 there are 320 known military or dual-use satellites in the sky, half of which are owned by the US, followed by Russia, China and India (13).. Since some of the major military activities of the U.S. army is in foreign territories, the U.S. government needs to subcontract satellite services to foreign carriers headquartered in areas with favorable climate.. “In regions like the Middle East, CORONA imagery is particularly important for archaeology because urban development, agricultural intensification, and reservoir construction over the past several decades have obscured or destroyed countless archaeological sites and other ancient features such as roads and canals. They are deployed in geostationary orbit and provide wideband, narrowband and protected military communication systems. As the number of Earth-observing devices grows and their data output expands, Orbital Insight’s geospatial analytics platform finds observational truth in an interconnected world. During the Cold War, on the vast, barren flatland around Area 51's dried-up Groom Lake, the military developed a stealth spy plane code-named Project Oxcart. The first generation of U.S. photo intelligence satellites collected more than 860,000 images of the Earth’s surface between 1960 and 1972. CORONA image resolution improved from 40 feet (12.2 meters) for the KH-1 to about 6 feet (1.8 meters) for the KH-4B. , Since October 1967 satellite based weapons systems have been limited by international treaty to conventional weapons only. This mission was a series of reconnaissance satellites, designed to enter orbit, take high-resolution photographs and then return the payload to Earth via parachute. Signal latency is a major concern in satellite communications, so geographic and meteorological factors play an important role in choosing teleports. Satellite imagery from Keyhole reconnaissance satellites is an important information source for national security-related GEOINT activities. While such imagery access is relatively rapid, it still prevents individuals and organizations from accessing data that needs to be more immediate.  The Corona program continued until 25 May 1972. Art.IV of the Outer Space Treaty specifically prohibits signatories from installing weapons of mass destruction in Earth orbit. The United Kingdom also operates military communication satellites through its Skynet system. Free satellite imagery download is available from GBLF via an FTP client.  Within this program a number of sub-programs were developed including Corona. Declassification of certain military reconnaissance satellite imagery. The USGS explains: “The images were originally used for reconnaissance and to produce maps for U.S. intelligence agencies. A Silicon Valley start-up is offering the most detailed space radar imagery on the market Capella Space is teaching the US military how to make satellite radar … 7, July 2017. KH-7 image resolution is 2 to 4 feet (0.6 to 1.2 meters). Satellite imagery has become an effective tool for reporting in conflict zones. By Olivia Solon. The latest changes are being observed through satellite imagery at Hotan in occupied East Turkestan, now Xinjiang, which is one of the People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s (PLAAF) major fighter airbases. Satellite imagery of an experimental military base that was missing from Google Maps for years is now available … but you'll have to go to New York City to see it. The UK government is pushing ahead with its plans for a cluster of military radar satellites, placing a design study with Airbus. NGA’s predecessor agencies, with comparable missions, were: The NGA’s web homepage, at the following link: https://www.nga.mil/Pages/Default.aspx, The NGA’s webpage for declassified satellite imagery is here: https://www.nga.mil/ProductsServices/Pages/Imagery.aspx, 2. The US Navy required precise navigation to enable submarines to get an accurate fix of their positions before they launched their SLBMs. Declassified satellite imagery (e.g., Corona, Argon and Lanyard) used in early mapping programs may be obtained from the USGS EROS Data Center at 605-594-6151 or firstname.lastname@example.org or from the National Archives at 301-837-1926 or email@example.com. In military parlance, this is ‘sensor to shooter’. Satellite Imagery Intelligence for Defence Operations. In the United States these satellites are operated by the Defense Support Program (DSP). Fo…  Satellites within the Corona program carried different code names. The table of contents to the Earthshots webpages is shown below and is at the following link: http:// https://earthshots.usgs.gov/earthshots/, For the Aral Sea region, the Earthshots photo sequences start with ARGON KH-5 photos taken in 1964. Wideband systems support high-bandwidth transfers. In the United States, research into satellite based weapons was initiated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1950s. A fourth ground-based station, at an undetermined position, could then use those signals to fix its location precisely. In 1976, NRO deployed its first electronic imaging optical reconnaissance satellite known as KENNEN KH-11 (renamed CRYSTAL in 1982), which eventually replaced the KH-9, and brought an end to reconnaissance satellite missions requiring film return. Additional sets of military reconnaissance satellite imagery were declassified in 2002 and 2011 based on extensions of Executive Order 12951. Operationally Response Satellite-1; Kestrel-Eye; Geostationary Imaging Satellites; 8X; FIA - Future Imagery Architecture to BASIC ; FIA RECSAT Concept; E … NASA satellite imagery and astronaut photography reveal where an English alphabet can be found in the landforms of the Earth. There are five types of resolution when discussing satellite imagery in remote sensing: spatial, spectral, temporal, radiometric and geometric. The current Atlas focuses on the Middle East and a small area of Peru, and is derived from 1,024 CORONA images taken on 50 missions. KH-5 ARGON image resolution was about 460 feet (140 meters). And remember – if you just want to look at satellite imagery without downloading the data, check out our list of 25 satellite maps. The treaty became effective on 10 October 1967 and, as of May 2013, 102 countries are parties to the treaty with a further 27 pending full ratification.. 83, No. Create rapid IMINT products to support political and military decision makers. Real-time data is received, decoded and displayed within seconds of the satellite imaging an area. You can explore the Aral Sea Earthshots photo sequences at the following link: https://earthshots.usgs.gov/earthshots/node/91#ad-image-0-0.  Discoverer 1, the first mission, was launched on 28 February 1959 although it didn't carry a payload being intended as a test flight to prove the technology. The KH-11, or an advanced version sometimes referred to as the KH-12, is operational today. Bing Maps. , In 2015, United States military space units, and commercial satellite operator Intelsat, became concerned about apparent reconnaissance test maneuvers by Russian Luch (or Olymp) satellite which was launched in September 2014, when it maneuvered between the Intelsat 7 and Intelsat 901 satellites which are located only half a degree from one another in geosynchronous orbit.. On a larger scale, free detailed satellite imagery can be retrieved via the Earth Science Data Interface (ESDI). In this case, data are available as quick as within 3 hours of when imagery was taken. Not all KH-9 satellite missions included a mapping camera. The declassified imagery is held by the following two organizations: The declassified military satellite imagery available in the EROS archive is summarized below: USGS EROS Archive – Declassified Satellite Imagery – 1 (1960 to 1972), USGS EROS Archive – Declassified Satellite Imagery – 2 (1963 to 1980), USGS EROS Archive – Declassified Satellite Imagery – 3 (1971 to 1984), More information on the declassified imagery resources is available from the USGS EROS Archive – Products Overview webpage at the following link (see heading “Declassified Data”): https://www.usgs.gov/centers/eros/science/usgs-eros-archive-products-overview?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects, 4. The big question for a lot of people is: "What can they see?" During the Cold War arms race, the nuclear threat was used to justify the cost of providing a more capable system. Combining this information with terrestrial data, such as mobile and location-based data, unlocks new sources of intelligence.”, The Orbital Insight website is here: https://orbitalinsight.com/company/, 5. Campbell (2002) defines these as follows: All military reconnaissance satellite imagery was highly classified until 1995, when some imagery from early defense reconnaissance satellite programs was declassified. Eight satellites took pictures on film roll, which were then parachuted back into the atmosphere, where a perfectly timed US military plane snatched it mid-air before it could be intercepted. China is constantly upgrading its military preparedness since the standoff with India began in eastern Ladakh in May. The first launches were code named Discoverer. The Soviet Union began the Almaz (Russian: Алмаз) program in the early 1960s. If you are just curious about seeing the most recent high-resolution image you can find for a given area of interest, and you don’t care about getting access to the raw images or using what you see for some commercial purpose, far-and-away the best tool you can use is Google Earth’s Explore New Satellite Imagery Tool. They are typically used to take overhead photos for military missions. All military reconnaissance satellite imagery was highly classified until 1995, when some imagery from early defense reconnaissance satellite programs was declassified. There have also been a number of subsequent programs including Magnum and Trumpet, but these remain classified and therefore many details remain speculative. Squadron Leader KK Nair, "Space: The Frontiers of Modern Defence", This page was last edited on 31 December 2020, at 03:40. High-resolution satellite imagery tracks the changing human footprint across the globe, including rapidly growing cities, urban sprawl, and informal settlements. There are four Skynet satellites in orbit, with the latest launch completed in December 2012.  It was abandoned after a Soviet Navy submarine was detected waiting beneath a mid-air retrieval zone in the Pacific Ocean. About 29,000 mapping images are available. The US Corona Project used a satellite to spy on Russia during the Cold War and now the images, taken in the 1960s and 1970s, are helping scientists better understand our planet. A military satellite is an artificial satellite used for a military purpose. Project Oberon, as it's known, has been in discussion for a while.

The Multifunctional Materials and Structures Laboratory (MMS Lab) is focused on two main areas:
- lightweight metallic structures (lattice truss structures, nanoporous films, hierarchical structures)
- statically determinate and tensegrity morphing structures
Lightweight Metallic Structures
The MMS Lab studies the mechanics of lightweight lattice truss structures for their use as load-bearing structures and impact amelioration systems as well as their possible morphing and thermal management capabilities.
MMS Lab uses the principles of static determinacy and tensegrity--with their superior mechanical properties such as stiffness and strength--to develop three-dimensional morphing foils. Through collaborations with scientists and engineers at the National Institute of Aerospace, NASA Langley and a grant through the Rising Stars Fellowship program, the MMS Lab is also involved in the area of deployable space structures. This work is also being expanded to look at the problem of morphing wings in aircraft and micro air vehicles.


Title: Time Layers, in Red
In hindsight, I should have purchased a drone years prior. Now I look back at all the places I could’ve been flying it, whether for photos or scouting better spots for my ground game. My first time taking out the drone was the Utah desert on a long weekend dispersed camping around the desert’s badlands. Here, we encountered an otherworldly landscape, dripped in layered colors, each representing a different time.

Urban mobility often conjures images of autonomous “air taxis” shuttling passengers around highly congested cities. But it could be cargo drones, offering lower risk than flying humans, that pave the way for commercially viable flying cars.
Leonardo da Vinci sketched an aircraft with an aerial screw, in 1490 but it wasn’t until 1901 that German inventor Hermann Ganswindt built a multiple rotor-blade aircraft, which flew for a few seconds. Igor Sikorsky designed the world’s first practical helicopter, which lifted in the United States in 1939. A century later, a new generation of rotorcraft machines are acquiring a new name – and significance.
These aren’t the headline-grabbing “last-mile” drones that are expected someday to deliver everyday items like burritos or books. They’re heavy-lifters designed to transport a couple tons of cargo over long distances in rain, fog or snow. The US military already uses them, albeit for lighter loads. Now a group of drone experts who have helped engineer those drones have put their skills to work to design what they claim will be the world’s first commercial heavy-lift, long-range autonomous cargo drone. Rhaegal is a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, also known as VTOLs, that can lift nearly 2,500 kilos (5,511 pounds) of cargo straight up from the ground like a helicopter and, if a short runway is available, take off like a plane and carry as much as 4,500 kilos (9,921 pounds) over a thousand nautical miles (1,850 kilometers). Its body sits low to the ground with a nose that tips upward allowing containerized or bulk cargo to be quickly loaded and secured.
De Reyes, CEO of Sabrewing Aircraft, which builds the Rhaegal, sees demand for autonomous aircraft that are quick to land, load and take off again and that can transport goods taken from large cargo planes to waiting trucks miles away or “pop-up” distribution centers. The Rhaegal began test flights earlier this year and is expected to enter service in 2022. The venture is being financed by Drone Fund, Idaten Ventures and several other investors. If the idea of a cargo drone is relatively new, interest in passenger drones has been around nearly as long as airplanes themselves. Anyone spending hours stuck in traffic can tell you why. More than 200 electric air taxis are in various stages of development by startups that include Aurora and Zee. Aero of the United States, Germany’s Lilium and Volocopter, the Netherland’s Pal-V, Solvakia’s Aeromobil and China’s Ehang. And more than 70 companies are involved in their development and financing, from airplane makers Airbus and Boeing to carmakers Ford, Geely, Hyundai, Porsche and Toyota. Even ridesharing company Uber has entered the fray, cooperating with several of these and other companies to develop its own Uber Air flying taxi.
There are basically three types of such aircraft: multirotor, lift-and-cruise and tilt. Multirotor aircraft have multiple motors and propellers around or on top of the cabin that are used for both vertical and horizontal movement. Lift-and-cruise designs use rotors to hover and wings for cruising. And the tilt solution, considered the most optimized design, uses rotors for vertical takeoff and landing, which can be tilted on the wings to allow the aircraft to cruise like a conventional airplane. But are flying taxis a solution to congestion, as their supporters argue? Or just some billionaires’ toys, as critics charge? Entrepreneurs envision taxi models where small groups of commuters could share rides for just a few dollars. German consultancy Roland Berger expects more than 3,000 will be flying by 2025, initially pilot-assisted, and as many as 98,000 autonomously by 2050. Analysts estimate the air taxi market to be worth anywhere from $615 billion (€505 billion) to nearly $3 trillion by 2040.

Looking to pick up your first drone? Whether you know what you’re looking for or not, it all boils down to the cost and how much you’re willing to spend.
Drones come in different shapes and sizes, with designs, components, tech, and special features that can hike up the price.
In short, though, you’re looking at anything between $50 and $10,000.
Whew. But while $10,000 for a drone is definitely a lot of money, this price is for high-end drones that do a lot more than the average drone.
So if you’re a first-time buyer, you simply won’t need to spend that much.
And to point you in the right direction, this guide will run through the different types of drones you can buy, the features to look for, how long drones last, and everything else you need to know before you part with your cash.
The Different Types Of Drones You Can Buy
It goes without saying that no two drones are the same. There are a ton of drones on the marketplace, each having different purposes, features, and perks, and the same applies to the price tag.
Despite all the different designs out there, all drones are remotely controlled unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs, for short) that are operated using hardware or software.
There are different types of drones, though, and with each type of drone comes a different set of pros and cons.
These include factors like flight time, ease of use, camera control, speed, weight, durability, lifespan, and, of course, price.
What Are Drones Used For?
Before buying a drone, it’s well worth knowing everything drones can be used for, as it can help you decide what you might want to use your drone for, the features to look for, and which one to buy.
And while drones are super fun to operate, they can do much more than fly around your backyard. Drone uses include:
We won’t talk about surveillance and delivery, as these are not everyday uses for drones that you’re likely going to be doing.
So aside from basic personal use and entertainment, the most popular uses for drones are aerial photography and aerial videography – in other words, taking impressively awesome photos or videos from high up in the air.
How Much Do Drones Cost?
As mentioned above, drones can cost anything between $50 and $10,000, since there are a lot of different types of drones you can buy.
Needless to say, cheaper drones will have fewer features and less durability while expensive drones will have more pro features, better quality components, and a longer lifespan.
So it all depends on what you’re looking for and how much you can set aside for buying a drone.
If it’s your first time buying one, though, you’re better off choosing a cheap, beginner-friendly drone.
This is ideal for learning how to operate a drone, and will also reduce any buyer’s guilt if you end up crashing it and breaking it.
For beginners, then, the best options are toy drones, which cost up to $100, and entry-level camera drones, which cost up to $500.
How Long Do Drones Last?
You’re spending money on a drone (and a lot of drones aren’t cheap), so you’ll also probably want to know how long drones last.
It’s a trick question, we know, but we’ll answer it both ways.
For battery life, most common drones will last anything between 10 and 30 minutes in the air.
As for lifespan, you can expect to get between 150 and 800 hours (of total air time) out of most decent consumer drones.
One quick tip is worth mentioning here: don’t let your drone run out of battery before you land it.
How Far Can A Drone Fly?
All drones are different when it comes to how far they can fly. In other words, this is called range, and it determines how high or far the drone can fly away from you before it loses signal – at which point it’ll start falling (not ideal).
There’s no fixed distance for how far each type of drone can fly (it’s best to check the drone specifications for an exact figure) but, in general, basic beginner drones will fly up to 100 yards, mid-level hobby drones will fly up to 3 kilometers, and premium high-end drones will fly up to 8 kilometers.
These are rough estimates, though, so it’s best to find out how far a specific drone can fly before letting it fly too far away from you!
What To Look For When Buying A Drone
So you’re ready to buy your first drone. Before buying one, though, it’s worth having an idea of what to look for and why. Just some of the main factors to take into account include:
- Flying time – how long the drone can fly (from a full charge) before the battery drains
- Battery type – drones can have a built-in rechargeable battery or rechargeable battery packs that can be swapped instantly
- Flight range – how far you can fly the drone before it loses signal
- Camera – how many cameras the drone has and the camera quality
- GPS – GPS can help flight course and also tracking your drone if it gets lost
- Speed – speed affects maneuverability, with low-speed drones better suited to beginners
- Build quality – high-quality components will provide the drone with better performance, durability, and lifespan
If you’re still on the fence about buying a drone, the good news is that drones have become more affordable than ever – especially for beginners who just want to try flying a drone for the first time.
Despite costing up to $10,000, there are drones that cost as low as $100, so it’s more than affordable to purchase a drone and get up to speed with how to control one.
Other than that, there are plenty of reasons to purchase a drone. Entertainment is one, alongside aerial photography and videography – no matter whether you are a hobbyist or professional photographer.


(CBSNewYork) — More than 600,000 drones were registered with the Federal Aviation Administration last year alone.
As they grow in popularity, so do the number of accidents involving some of the amateur aircraft.
To see how the NYPD is cracking down on rogue drones, CBS2’s Maurice Dubois took to the sky with the department’s aviation unit.
One drone hit a window on the Empire State Building, another hit an Army helicopter over Staten Island, countless more have collided, slammed, and smashed across the five boroughs narrowly avoiding mass chaos.
“People could definitely die,” Lt. Richard Knoeller said.
As a pilot with the NYPD’s Aviation Unit, Knoeller takes to the skies daily, tracking and cracking down on the operators of illegally flown recreational drones.
The unit can get as many as ten calls a day about rogue drones.

AVI-8 watches and flying: a coherent liaison
following some worth reading information about the different model families
Hawker Harrier II
The Hawker Harrier II was a phenomenal fighter plane and known for its short takeoff and landing capabilities. The technical innovations in the cockpit, like the digital moving map and the inertial navigation system, made the Hawker Harrier II a dream for every pilot. The Hawker Harrier II watch collection also impresses with its functionality, clarity and ease of use thanks to its functional features such as oversized hands and pushers.
The Hawker Hurricane is a tribute to the fighter aircraft Hawker Hurricane, which was instrumental in the 1940 Battle of England victory. As a small, robust single-seater, the Hawker Hurricane flew heroically through the night and fired at the enemy. The Hawker Hurricane watch collection captivates with its simplicity. Clear, concise lines include the dial, on which the colors reflect the design of the Hawker Hurricane simple but impressive.
The Hawker Hunter series is reminiscent of the famous single-seater fighter jet produced for the Royal Air Force and its allies and launched in 1954 for its first mission. It was the first fighter aircraft equipped with radar and flight control. Inspired by the 1950s Hawker Hunter cockpits and displays, this modern collection pays homage to the innovative technologies of aviation history.
Young, adventurous and daring - these were the Flyboys. Intrepid pilots, who took all their courage together to fight for their fatherland in World War I as pilots. Their heroism, bravery and daredevilry - especially in the dangerous days of open air combat - was immortalized in modern history. This collection pays homage to these heroes of the skies. Slim, simple watch cases and bracelets in nylon with various colourful patterns attached to medal ribbons.
the heroic deeds and performances of these pilots revive.

25 May Fines for Misusing Your Drone
Drone flying can be fun, and get some great aerial footage, but drones are not toys. Anyone who flies a drone must do so within the rules and regulations set by the FAA. Even if a person is not intentionally flying their drone in violation of the restrictions, it is no excuse. Not knowing the rules will not prevent you from needing to fines that are around a few hundred to one, to two thousand dollars. Here are some past instances where a person was mishandling the operation of their drone, and was forced to pay a fine as a result.
- Tuscaloosa, AL, November 2015
Gregory Taylor was flying his drone over the Bryant Denny Football stadium during tailgating when it hit a pedestrian. He turned himself in and was fined $1,100.
- San Juan, Puerto Rico, October 2015
Two drones collided in midair and crashed into the ocean. Both Marcos Plaja-Ferreira and Alberto Haber-flores were each fined $1,100 because of damage to a nearby hotel.
- Manhattan, New York, July 2014
A police helicopter chased after a drone that was flying too close to the George Washington Bridge. The NYPD initially reported that the helicopter had to perform evasive maneuvers to avoid colliding with the drone but as it turns out, they embellished this story. As a result, the drone operator, Remy Castro, had his $1,600 fine reduced to $800.
- Manhattan, New York, September 2013
David Zablidowski, the first person to ever be fined for flying a drone, flew his drone into several buildings. He was fined $2,200 but his case was settled for $400.
- Washington DC, May 2015
It is illegal to fly drones within 30 miles of DC, unless the person has special permission from the government. Damian Dizard and Monica Singleton did not have special permission when they flew their drone within the restricted area. They were fined $3,300 each.


The camera is really first rate, jogging at 12MP and 1080p online video resolution and quality, which makes flying that significantly better.
We’ve scoured the online market place to find some of the most interesting, craziest drones that may probably exist. Whether or not it be a drone inside of a literal ball or a rolling spider, we’re certain that you choose to’ll be scratching your head at least once through these critiques.
The best on the camera drones to get will be the DJI Inspire one. The DJI Encourage one contains a innovative design and style that permits for 2 controllers for use simultaneously — a person to manage the drone’s flight, and another to manage the camera.
Should you’re in search of the cheap camera drone option, the clear option will be the Parrot Bebop Quadcopter that has 14MP Total HD 1080P abilities for your portion of the cost of one other drones on this list.
The Q500 also comes with two stellar 5400mAh flight batteries that enables for as much as twenty five minutes of flight time per demand.
GoPro brand now is involved with Extraordinary sporting activities and capturing Are living footage that makes this drone the ideal selection for capturing Severe sports.
You could fly this drone out to the length of about thirty meters. Charging time is about two several hours for a flight time up to 9 minutes. The camera provides some fairly decent video worth sharing on YouTube.
With a body weight of only 0.79 lbs, you may think that it would be challenging for yourself to keep up Command in windy circumstances but we observed otherwise. It truly is really steady in windy problems.
With the Mavic Pro you receive 27 minutes of flight time, a 7km variety to Participate in with, and also a Ill controller. The controller includes a spot for your personal smartphone at The underside, While other drones have it at the top, with an Liquid crystal display display screen that exhibits your drone’s speed, GPS map and site, the motor RPM, you title it.
People today have been concerned about the return to sender element, which the Solo does actually have. The controller seems like a single for Nintendo, has WiFi, and will accommodate your smartphone to work together with with the app.
This oddity of the drone may be a little one but it surely’s undoubtedly received a lot of technological know-how packed into it. You make use of your wise device, whether it is your mobile phone or perhaps a pill, for flight throughout the FreeFlight 3 application.
4K video recording is supported, plus the gimbal layout implies you get rock-continuous footage even though the drone is shifting at speed and transforming route.

When United Launch Alliance settled on Centennial CO for its new design center and corporate headquarters, we at Xcite Audiovisuals were honored to be chosen as the AV systems integrator for the Operations Center’s display wall: the AV nexus of a huge amount of data that had to be timely, legible and dependable. The project demanded an extremely high level of quality (in a field that requires 100% mission success) and an incredibly challenging timeline for completion.
United Launch Alliance (ULA) is the nation’s rocket company, designing, building and launching rockets that deliver critical payloads to space for the Department of Defense, NASA and other commercial customers. Nearly every month, ULA conducts at least one launch, and we had three months to have the new headquarters re-established and running smoothly. This required full integration of vast data streams from sites in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, California, Texas and elsewhere, as the company oversees payloads worth hundreds of The design/integration/ installation team at ULA’s new Operations Center. The display wall streamlines weather, telecommunications and national security satellite launch services data, as well as that of deep space and interplanetary exploration missions. www.ITAVReport.com Fall 2012 27 government millions, sometime billions of dollars. More importantly, these payloads support our nation’s critical military forces in harm’s way, and provide the most cutting-edge space science from around our solar system.
For ULA and its customers, failure is not an option. To achieve this level of integration, all while planning for the following month’s launch, we knew that data had to be shared in a clear and immediate way. When Technology Plus designed the system for the Operations Center display wall at ULA’s new complex, it was with this necessity for flexibility and fidelity in mind.


Humanity has been exploring Mars since 1960. With its 38% gravity of the Earth’s, thin yet protective atmosphere and day-night rhythm very similar to ours, it is believed that Mars is one of Earth’s closest habitable neighbors in our solar system. Next logical step after Mars exploration is a permanent settlement and building new society. And with new society, new identity management and identity governance needs arise.
Thanks to midScale, a project funded by European Commission Initiative that significantly improves the scalability, midPoint is ready to go multiplanetary. Our plans move so much forward you need light years to measure the distance. Joining first expeditions, midPoint will provide essential infrastructure in the first colonies, and later countries on Mars.
Although the fluctuation among colonists on Mars is likely to be quite low, there is still a need to manage access permissions for variety of jobs and responsibilities in the colony. Every job is mission-critical.
There will be technological challenges. The Earth-Mars round-trip time varies between 6 minutes to 45 minutes. This is not entirely real-time communication. Fortunately, midPoint has pioneered asynchronous communication technology, being able to handle such long communication delays. Despite that, keeping databases synchronized across vast space distances is not going to be an easy task. However, midPoint had communicated with an assortment of legacy systems in the past, including some pieces that would shine in a museum collection. After such experience, deep space communication seems perfectly feasible.
There will be challenges, but there is also potential – especially in case that life on Mars is found. The scale of the identity management platform may need to grow substantially in that case. Even if life on Mars is not found, there still will be a lot of robotic identities to manage. As robots get more intelligent, they may develop a personality traits and talents, making the task of their management not unlike to task of managing people.
To greet the future completely, we are preparing midPoint to dive into the unknown and reach for the stars. Although the exact technologies of interstellar travel are not yet known, our architects are already preparing for the future. We are experimenting with a variety of potential futuristic technologies in our laboratories, to be ready at the time when they will be needed.
Our ambition goes beyond our galaxy. Milky Way is bound to collide with Andromeda Galaxy in about 4.5 billion years. This may provide some long-term potential, very likely bringing new identities that need to be managed.
We hope you are ready for the future, as the first human expedition is just years away from now!


Where were you when Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon? Those breathless first few minutes were transmitted to a television audience of over 500 million from an antenna dish nestled amongst bushland at Honeysuckle Creek near Canberra, ACT.
The Royal Australian Mint commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, a triumph of human achievement, with this magnificent six coin set. It features two unique coins depicting the landing site on the Moon, and the historic Honeysuckle Creek antenna. A striking memento for aerospace, aviation and science enthusiasts, and a must have for all those who remember being glued to the television on 21 July 1969.

Both the Falcon 9 and also Falcon Heavy are accredited to conduct launches for the National Protection Area Introduce. As of 19 January 2022, the Falcon 9 as well as Falcon Heavy have been introduced 140 times, leading to 138 complete objective successes, one partial success, and one in-flight failure. Furthermore, a Falcon 9 experienced a pre-flight failure prior to a static fire examination in 2016. In January 2019 SpaceX introduced it would certainly dismiss 10% of its workforce in order to help fund the Starship and also Starlink projects.Construction of first models and also examinations for Starship began in very early 2019 in Florida as well as Texas. All Starship building and also screening relocated to the new SpaceX South Texas launch website later on that year. SpaceX, which has actually launched various freight payloads and astronauts to the International Space Station, is developing a rocket to deliver human beings to Mars dubbed Starship.
According to NASA’s own individually confirmed numbers, SpaceX’s overall development price for the Falcon 9 rocket, consisting of the Falcon 1 rocket, was approximated at about US$ 390 million. In 2006, SpaceX won a NASA Commercial Orbital Transport Services Phase 1 contract to show freight delivery to the International Space Station, with a possible contract choice for staff transport. With this contract, made by NASA to provide “venture capital” via Area Act Agreements for developing new abilities, NASA paid SpaceX US$ 396 million to create the cargo setup of the Dragon spacecraft, while SpaceX developed the Falcon 9 launch car with their own sources. These Room Act Agreements have actually been revealed to have saved NASA countless dollars in advancement expenses, making rocket growth ~ 4– 10 times less costly than if created by NASA alone. SpaceX routinely returns the initial stage of Falcon 9 as well as Falcon Heavy rockets after orbital launches. The rocket flights and also land to a fixed touchdown site making use of only its own propulsion systems.When propellent margins do not permit a return to launch site, rockets return to floating landing system in the sea, called independent spaceport drone ships.
One reason for the countless delays affecting the James Webb Area Telescope, the follower to the Hubble Room Telescope, has been the requirement to fold up its fractional 6.5-meter mirror to fit aboard a European Ariane 5 rocket, says CfA astrophysicist Martin Elvis. Many objective’s invested phases have been used to impact the Moon in the past. Most especially during Apollo, NASA would certainly influence both the S-IVB and also Lunar Module’s climb phase into the surface.
The remarks pour chilly water on an often-touted feature of the Starship. Where the Falcon 9 can introduce about 16 tonnes to low-Earth orbit in recyclable setup, the Starship can launch over 100 tonnes. Coming up next, Dragon will certainly divide from the rocket’s 2nd stage to continue its trip to the International Space Station.
All SpaceX rocket engines are evaluated on rocket test stands, and low-altitude VTVL flight screening of the Falcon 9 Grasshopper in 2012– 2013 were carried out at McGregor.Testing of the much bigger Starship prototypes is carried out in the SpaceX South Texas launch site near Brownsville, Texas. A 2nd significant rocket failing occurred in early September 2016, when a Falcon 9 exploded throughout a propellant fill procedure for a typical pre-launch fixed fire test. The payload, the Amos-6 interactions satellite valued at US$ 200 million, was destroyed. The surge was caused by the liquid oxygen that is made use of as propellant turning so cold that it strengthened as well as ignited with carbon composite helium vessels.
He became Space.com’s Handling Editor in 2009 as well as Editor-in-Chief in 2019. Before joining Space.com, Tariq was a personnel press reporter for The Los Angeles Times covering education and also city beats in La Habra, Fullerton and Huntington Beach. He is additionally an Eagle Precursor as well as mosted likely to Room Camp 4 times as a youngster and also a fifth time as an adult.
The Falcon 1 was a small rocket with the ability of putting several hundred kilos right into low Earth orbit. It launched five times in between 2006 and 2009, of which 2 achieved success. The Falcon 1 was the initial independently funded, liquid-fueled rocket to get to orbit. Starship is the huge 비상장주식 스페이스x, next-generation rocketSpaceX is establishing to release freight and people on missions to the moon and Mars. The business is checking prototypes at a facility in southern Texas and also has flown several brief test flights.
Entrepreneur Jared Isaacman is to be joined by 3 other amateur astronauts for a multi-day trip right into space, consisting of one lucky winner of an illustration. The Starship SN9 is a SpaceX model wherefore the business wishes will be the very first spacecraf to lug human beings to Mars. Like the majority of SpaceX’s recent crafts, the Starship is additionally made to be reusable. Starlink Country Director for India Sanjay Bhargava in his social media sites blog post stated that the pre-order from India has actually gone across 5,000 and the company is eager to work in backwoods for giving broadband solutions. Currently a new generation of rockets, designers, scientists and also travelers are ready to assault the skies. Last month, Chennai-based Agnikul Universe received the nod by the Division of Room to accomplish multiple tests as well as qualify its single piece 3D-printed semi-cryogenic engine and also various other systems of its rocket at different ISRO centres.

English is the language of aviation, whether as a pilot, flight attendant or air traffic controller.
Easy, standard phrases are contained in ICAO Annex 10 volume 2 (Communications Procedures), this covers everything, doesn’t it? Of course not, it can’t.
As a pilot you might be negotiating with air traffic control (ATC) for re-routing due to a sick passenger or technical problems, you need weather information, details of delays at your destination. You need to understand non-standard communication between other aircraft and ATC as this might affect you flight, discuss problems with push-back, baggage handling, irate customers.
Of course you also need to know (and understand) the standard phrases. So important is aviation related “English communication” that most major airlines and indeed countries insist on you passing an English proficiency test.
We can help.
Verba International's principal, Keith Watts is a trained English language teacher, Euroexam Examinations secretary and pilot.
Work with Keith to develop your aviation English and be ready for your English language proficiency test.
