Some SNAG members maintain their paint schemes in the
tradition of these military aircraft.
Navion aircraft was designed and built by North American
Aviation in 1945-1946 and later produced by the Ryan Aeronautical
Company. A total of 2349 Navion series aircraft were built
by these two companies. (Later TUSCO and other companies
produced variations and modifications to these aircraft.)
Navions promised an affordable introduction into personal
aircraft ownership to the many newly trained pilots
returning from WWII. The first flyaway price was $6100.00
with the 185HP Continental engine. Initial production
aircraft boasted 149mph cruising speed at 3500', range of
550 miles on 40 gallons of gas and a useful load of 1070
lbs including 4 passengers and 80 pounds of baggage.
aircraft were purchased by the U.S. Military used in a liaison
aircraft misson, and designated the L-17. More
information about these aircraft can be found at www.L-17.org

Because the design and the development of the Navion aircraft was
primarily intended to satisfy the anticipated desires of the expected
numerous military pilots returning to the civilian community after WW
II, many SNAG aircraft paint schemes exclaim their personal tastes, and
are as varied and unique as their owners.
Additionally, a few SNAG members own the Navion

|The mission of Shenzhou
VI spacecraft, China's second manned flight into space, with two astronauts,
Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, marks another milestone achievement in the
history of Chinese space exploration. While we might be some 50 years behind
the US and other western countries, and even though more than 400 humans
from at least 32 countries have gone into space, we are determined to catch
up. More important, we are determined to play our role in expanding new
horizons in international space exploration.
Returning to earth,
Fei and Nie were given hero's welcome, just as our first astronaut, Yan
Liwei. They will later tour around the country, and come to Hong Kong
to testify to the realization of the long-cherished space dream of the
With the advances
in aerospace technologies, the Shenzhou VI mission has achieved success,
and everything seemed to have proceeded as expected. There were great
risk and uncertainty in this mission, and they were readily surmountable.
The conditions certainly have improved tremendously since the first man,
Yuri Gagarin, was sent for space travel nearly 45 years ago.
Indeed, there was
enormous uncertainty back in 1961. No one knew precisely what would happen
to a human being in space, how the human body would react to extreme changes
in temperature, and how the human mind would deal with unforeseen psychological
stress. A technical failure would burn the first cosmonaut Gagarin to
cinders or leave him in the hazy firmament to die a long and lonely death.
It was even said that the Soviet authorities at that time, because of
failures in retro-rocket firing in two out of five test flights, thought
it more likely that Gagarin would perish in the descent than survive.
Gagarin deserves our greatest respect for being the first man in space,
doing something exceedingly dangerous that no one else has ever done before.
Let us pay tributes to Yuri Gagarin in this issue.
Yuri Gagarin (1934-1968)
Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934 in Klushino, a village 100 miles west
of Moscow near Gzhatsk. His father was a collective farmer and a carpenter,
and his mother was a milkmaid. Gagarin was the third of four children,
and his elder sister helped to take care of him while his parents worked.
In 1941, Gagarin's village was occupied by the invading Nazis. At the
age of 7, young Gagarin witnessed an act of selfless bravery that might
have inspired his life's work. A Soviet fighter pilot emptied his machine
guns at a German column before sacrificing himself in a dive with his
wounded plane into the enemy soldiers.
After the war, in
1950, Gagarin resumed his education and enrolled in the Lyubertsy foundryman's
school near Moscow. The following year, he entered Saratov Industrial
College and began taking courses in the nearby flying school. In 1955,
he earned his foundryman's diploma and his flying papers. That fall, he
enrolled in the Orenburg Flying School, graduated in 1957, joined the
Soviet Air Force as a fighter pilot, and was promoted to Lieutenant. In
the same year, he married Valentina Gorycheva. Two years later, he volunteered
to join the top secret Soviet space program, and for three years, he underwent
intensive training to become a cosmonaut, experiencing the crushing force
of rocket acceleration, the disorientation of weightlessness, and the
rigors of re-entry into earth's atmosphere.
On April 12, 1961,
at exactly 9:07 am Moscow time, Gagarin left the earth in Vostok I. He
sailed weightlessly across heavens for 108 minutes in a nearly five-ton
craft flying 18,000 mph and 188 miles above earth. In this mission, the
Russian broke all flight records and the American hope of getting in space
first in the space race. As Vostok I reentered the atmosphere, Gagarin
sang The Motherland Hears, the Motherland Knows as he watched flames streak
past his porthole.
Gagarin landed safely
on an unplowed field of a collective farm, Lenin's Way. He was given a
hero's welcome, the Order of Lenin, and the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
Overnight, Gagarin became an instant, worldwide celebrity, touring to
promote the Soviet achievement. Being stressed out and with difficulties
in his marriage, Gagarin began to drink heavily. On October 1967, he severely
injured himself in a drunken holiday escapade. He was later permanently
grounded from cosmonautics. On March 27, 1968, while on a routine training
flight in a MiG jet, Gagarin crashed and died.
Gagarin's ashes were
interred in the Kremlin wall. To commemorate the first man in space and
his historical flight, a 40-metre titanium obelisk was erected at the
Vostok I landing site. The town of Gzhatsk was renamed after him, as is
a crater on the far side of the moon. The main center for cosmonaut training
at Star City is now called the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center.
will be many more future space flights and space travels. Let the world
celebrate the success of humankind in space exploration from Gagarin to
Fei and Nie. Fei and Nie, just as Gagarin and other astronauts, could
not resist looking out of their spacecraft and admired the beauty of Earth,
including China their motherland. They echoed Gagarin's first words in
space, "I saw Earth. It's so beautiful." Gagarin also announced
when he returned to earth that there is enough room among the stars for
everyone. In anticipating the visit of Fei and Nie to Hong Kong, let us
welcome them not only as citizens of Hong Kong, not only as citizens of
China, but also as citizens of the world. Together, we wish that there
will be peace among nations, and nations will join hands in the peaceful
exploration of space to the benefit of humankind.

State broadcaster CCTV’s military channel reported that the J-7 plane crashed Thursday morning near an airport in Xiangyang, Hubei province. The pilot ejected safely but some residential buildings were damaged, according to reports.
The pilot and the injured were taken to hospital and the cause of the crash is being investigated.
The J-7 is an early model single-engine aircraft whose origins date back to the Soviet MiG-21 from the 1950s and was produced for nearly 50 years until production ended in 2013.
A large number, however, remain in service to provide regional air protection. China also sold an export version, the F-7, to more than a dozen countries, many of which have since retired the planes.
China’s civil aviation industry has come under intense scrutiny in recent months following the unexplained crash of a China Eastern Airlines jetliner on March 21, in which the 132 people on board were killed.
And on May 12, a Tibet Airlines flight with 122 people on board was taking off from the southwestern city of Chongqing when it veered off the runway and burst into flames. No one was killed, but several passengers were slightly injured.
Australia and Canada have recently raised concerns about reckless flights by Chinese fighter pilots.
In a June 1 statement, the Canadian military said Chinese planes tried to divert a Canadian long-range patrol plane off course and the crew had to change direction quickly to avoid a collision. .
Australia said a Chinese fighter jet carried out a dangerous act of aggression on May 26 against an Australian Air Force aircraft carrying out aerial surveillance in the South China Sea.
The Chinese J-16 accelerated and cut in front of the Australian plane, releasing chaff with small pieces of aluminum meant to confuse radars that were sucked into the latter’s engine, the Australian defense minister said, Richard Marles.
China has defended the actions of its pilots and accused foreign countries of exercising close surveillance of its territory to contain Chinese development.


The First Lady Korean Aircraft Pilot “Pak Kyeong-Won” was born as poor Korean girl in the era of Korea merged by the Japanese Empire. She went to become lady pilot to Japan. To earn study fee, first she became cab driver, afterwards she get second flight license. She was dead by flight accident of tour to Korea by single flight in Izu Japan. This movie describes her life, adventure , romance and death.


Over the years several satellites and probes have been sent to the planet Mars. The Mars 2020 mission by NASA was a new milestone by sending the Perseverance Rover, which will search for signs of ancient microbial life. Strapped to the rover’s belly for the journey to Mars, a helicopter called Ingenuity, has achieved a “Wright Brothers moment “ by testing the first powered flight on the Red Planet on april 19, 2021.
Inspired by these latest developments I decided to modify my 3 planet orrery into a 4 planet orrery by adding the planet Mars and it’s moons Phobos and Deimos.
Four planet orrery including Mars and it’s moons Phobos and Deimos
After some Internet search, I found an interesting website selling planets to scale. The planet Earth is a printed glasssphere and measures approx. 5cm in diameter. The other planets and the Moon are to scale, except for the moons Phobos and Deimos. The diameter of the later 2 would be less than the diameter of the pins they are mounted on. From left to right: Mars with it’s moons, Earth with the Moon, Mercury, Sun and Venus

The Mars moons have been 3D printed and can be downloaded here.
The white 65t gears and 20t pinions are 3D printed (ABS) gears, but they are available as original Meccano parts as well and can be obtained through various UK suppliers or as a 3D ABS print through the sale page of Meccano Kinematics. The geartrain is after a design by Michael Whiting. I only changed the framework and because of this I had to choose other idlers in order to make the construction as compact as possible.
An important detail are the 2 ball bearings for each moonarm. Without these bearings there is quite a lot of clearance between axles and their corresponding holes with a possible misengangement between gears during operation. A video of the Mars orbit can be seen on Youtube.
Standard ball bearings 4-10-4 were used, but a Meccano axle doesn’t fit into the inner diameter. Therefore I made an instrument to ream the inner diameter of a 4-10-4 ball bearing. In case you need a couple of these modified bearings, just contact me.

Outer Planet Exploration. In , Pioneer 10 became the first spacecraft to visit one of the outer planets. Pioneer 10 and 11 were the first probes to investigate space beyond the orbit of Mars. Jupiter and Saturn flybys only. Voyager 2, however, was still healthy and was on a trajectory that allowed additional planetary encounters. Don't expect some romanticized deep thought provoking verbiage on space exploration. This book is about how things get done, with a few personal snip-its of personal emotions and thoughts during the process, throw into the mix. Also, keep in mind this book is written from the perspective of one man, and only about the teams he was on.

In recent years, China spacecraft has a big development and has obtained great achievements. Penta laser supplies first laser equipment to ShenZhou Spacecraft series. Now we are the cooperation enterprise of China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.
As early as 2007, China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology selected Penta laser from dozens of laser equipment suppliers and purchased a set of high power laser cutting system.This system is placed in Beijing, mainly used in the development of ordinary rocket manufacturing. In the using process, the whole system is quite stable and efficient, the product accuracy is very good to meet the needs of rocket manufacturing, and get the recognition of China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.
In 2010 they re-open tender, Penta laser won the bid again.At present, this equipment is placed in Tianjin's large launch rocket R & D and manufacturing center, and become an important part of China's Academy of Launch Vehicle R & D manufacturing system.
It is understood that "Tianzhou I" is China's most important spacecraft, it carries more than 6 tons of fuel and materials flying to the "Temple II" space laboratory, it has a high demand for the Long March 7 rocket carrying capacity.
The Penta laser cutting system played an important role in the Long March 7 rocket manufacturing process.High precision, high speed, high quality processing features of laser equipment show unique advantages in metal processing.

Bushfire danger spots will be easier to identify with the help of space technology developed by an Australian university.The shoe-box size satellite fitted with infrared sensors would be able to detect the dryness or dampness of patches of open ground or forest deep below the surface.Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra are aiming to have the device operational within two years.The satellite is capable of tracking changes in Australian plants and trees including the highly flammable eucalypts.
A satellite image from the European Space Agency shows bushfires on the Australian east coast this summer. The technology being developed by ANU would provide far more detailed information at a local level, scientists say. (AAP)It would initially report updates on areas of land becoming drier, but the long-term aim is for it to provide real-time information. This would be relayed to ground-based analysts.While existing satellites help Australian authorities track weather patterns, they don't monitor fire danger at a local level.Other tools used for assessing bushfire danger include helicopter surveillance, which was used in the ACT this year, but the goal is for the satellite to scan the entire country.
Research leader Marta Yebra said when operational, the technology would offer firefighters advance warning about the areas where a blaze could ignite."With this mission we will receive high-resolution infrared images and data of fuel conditions that will help firefighters on the ground," she said."This infrared technology and data, which is not currently available, will help to target controlled burns that can reduce the frequency and severity of bushfires, as well as their long-term impacts on Australia's people, economy, and environment."We will gradually build up our capacity to monitor these bushfire risks in Australia."At first, we will focus on long-term monitoring. Within the next five years, we plan to be able to monitor changes to our landscape and environment in real time."

The tiny satellite would give firefighters advanced warning of potential blazes on dry ground, the ANU says. (Getty)The other research leader, Professor Rob Sharp, said the satellite equipment under development was "compact and lightweight".He said the project, if successful, would improve Australia's information gathering.

The lunar module, designated LM, is just a small part of the hardware that was left behind when the Apollo moon program was canceled earlier than originally scheduled due to budgetary constraints. The last manned moon mission, Apollo 17, went to the Taurus-Littrow valley in December After the first moon landing in , Washington began pulling back on NASA's Apollo ambitions, having concluded that the space race was won. By the end of , Apollo 18 was scrapped — and so was millions of dollars worth of Apollo hardware, including the Cradle of Aviation Museum's lunar lander.

After various release date changes, the film was released in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada on September 2, However, the release dates for other territories vary. The film's premise is that the cancelled Apollo 18 mission actually landed on the Moon in December , but never returned, and as a result the United States has never launched another expedition to the Moon. The film is shot in found-footage style, supposedly "lost footage" of the Apollo 18 mission that was only recently discovered. In December , the crew of the cancelled Apollo 18 mission is informed that it will now proceed as a top secret Department of Defense DoD mission, disguised as a satellite launch.

The aircraft was ordinarily referred to with the British as merely "Concorde". In France it was often called "le Concorde" as a consequence of "le", the definite posting, used in French grammar to introduce the title of the ship or aircraft, along with the cash getting used to differentiate an appropriate identify from a standard noun of precisely the same spelling.
Concorde's significant cruising altitude meant travellers acquired almost twice the flux of extraterrestrial ionising radiation as those travelling on a conventional long-haul flight. On Concorde's introduction, it had been speculated that this exposure for the duration of supersonic travels would enhance the likelihood of pores and skin cancer.[one hundred twenty five] Due to proportionally lessened flight time, the general equivalent dose would Generally be under a standard my review here flight about precisely the same length.

Rovers, like Curiosity and Perseverance, had been our eyes and palms on Mars. These self-working machines, designed for extraterrestrial environments, collect information, take pics, and examine Martian soil and ecosystem. Quite stunning for a robotic, proper?
Importance of Satellites
Satellites orbiting Mars, like the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, have provided important information, mapping the Martian surface, studying its climate, and scouting for rover landing websites. They act as bridges, connecting Earth with rovers and ensuring a continuous flow of information.
Ever imagined streaming your favourite display even as on Mars? Sounds like sci-fi, doesn’t it? Enter the concept of Intergalactic Internet.
What is the Intergalactic Internet?
Simply put, it is the concept of establishing a network in space, connecting planets, moons, spacecraft, and maybe, in the future, even galaxies. Just as our earthly internet connects gadgets, the intergalactic version pursuits to attach planets. Mind-blowing, right?
Challenges and Solutions
Space is sizable and full of mysteries. Establishing an internet connection amidst cosmic demanding situations is not any small feat.
Overcoming Cosmic Distances
The sheer distance among celestial bodies is thoughts-boggling. Establishing a lag-loose connection calls for overcoming light-velocity barriers. Researchers are reading quantum entanglement and other superior theories to make this a fact.
Ensuring Reliable Connection
Space is notorious for its radiation and unpredictable occasions. Protecting signals from these disturbances even as ensuring a solid connection may be paramount.
Impact of Space Tech on Humanity
Space era has redefined our limitations. As we assign out, we are not handiest coming across the universe however also ourselves. The capacity advantages, from aid mining to interplanetary colonization, can reshape our destiny.
In the approaching decades, we might see extra collaborative missions, better space infrastructure, and maybe, simply perhaps, the primary people putting foot on Mars. With fast advancements in area tech, the sky isn’t always the restriction; it’s simply the beginning!
From bold Mars missions to the budding concept of an intergalactic internet, the area era guarantees a future filled with opportunities. As we stand on the cusp of cosmic exploration, one needs to marvel, what is subsequent? The universe is enormous, but human willpower and ingenuity are limitless.
What’s the number one cause of Mars missions?
Exploring the possibility of existence, understanding the planet’s geology, and getting ready for future human missions.
How far are we from organising an intergalactic internet?
We’re in the early tiers, however with rapid advancements in era, it might be sooner than we assume.
Can human beings live on Mars?
With the current era, short-term missions are possible. Long-term habitation requires extra studies and tech advancements.
Why is area tech crucial for humanity?
It gives opportunities for the latest liveable worlds, sources, and insights into our universe and existence.
How do rovers communicate with Earth?

Satellites, The Tiny Spacecraft Revolution
10th October 2018 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Prof. Craig Underwood is Deputy Director of the Surrey Space Centre at the University of Surrey. He has over 30 years’ experience of small-satellite design, development and research.
Craig graduated from the University of York in 1982 with a BSc in Physics with Computer Science. After gaining a Post Graduate Certificate in Education from York in 1983, he began a teaching career at Scarborough Sixth-Form College where he developed satellite activities.
In January 1986, Craig joined the University of Surrey as a Research Fellow/Engineer developing space education programmes and working on the UoSAT series of spacecraft, where he was responsible for the generation and maintenance of software for the UoSAT Satellite Control Ground-Station, mission analysis, thermal design and radiation environment and effects analysis and mitigation. In 1993, Craig became a Lecturer in Spacecraft Engineering advancing to Senior Lecturer in 1999, Reader in April 2003, and full Professor in April 2012.
Craig heads the Sensors and Platform Systems Group within the Surrey Space Centre, which has the remit of developing the instruments, systems and data processing techniques needed to investigate the Earth and other planetary environments from space. A particular focus of the group is on the development of low-mass, low-volume and low-power “micro-instrumentation” suitable for use on micro/nano-satellite and UAV platforms, as well as the development of bus technologies for such platforms.
Craig is author or co-author of some 200 scientific papers and teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses on Spacecraft Engineering, Launch Vehicles and Propulsion and Electric Machines and Power at the University of Surrey.
“The Tiny Spacecraft Revolution”
The University of Surrey and its spin-out, SSTL, are world leaders in the design, construction and operation of micro-satellites. Recent technological advances have made it possible to construct even smaller satellites, at an order of magnitude less cost. These “nano-satellites” open up many new possibilities for space exploration. In 2000, Surrey launched its first 6.5 kg nano-satellite: “SNAP-1”, which demonstrated remote inspection and autonomous orbital manoeuvring using advanced miniaturised technologies. Since then, the advent of the international “CubeSat” standard, has enabled whole new classes of space mission to be undertaken by Universities, commercial enterprises and Space Agencies, such as NASA. Soon, such spacecraft will be exploring the Moon and solar system, beyond. This talk will present the state of the art in highly miniaturised spacecraft and discuss the Surrey’s pioneering role in these developments, including its CubeSat missions: STRaND-1, AlSat-1N, InflateSail, RemoveDebris, AAReST and LUCE VMMO.


LAW ON DRONES
The usage of Drones in India is catching up with that in other nations and gaining considerable momentum. India does not have a specific Act on Drones. However, Aircraft Act 1934 is the basic Act governing all the matters relating to civil aviation. Aircraft Act 1934 was amended recently in the year 2000 which is known as The Aircraft Amendment Act 2020. The Central Government therefore in exercise of the powers conferred by n 5, sub-section (2) of section 10 and sections 10A, 10B and 12A of the Aircraft Act, 1934 (22 of 1934), has made the ‘Drone Rules 2021’.
Section 2 of the Drone Rules 2021 defines:
‘Drone’ as an unmanned aircraft system.
‘Unmanned Aircraft system’ means an aircraft that can operate autonomously or can be operated remotely without a pilot on board.
CATEGORISATION OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM
The unmanned aircraft shall be categorised into the following three categories namely:
- Rotorcraft; and
- Hybrid unmanned Aircraft system
CLASSIFICATION OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM (DRONES)
The classification of Drones is based on the maximum all-up weight including payload. They are classified as follows:
- Nano unmanned aircraft system: weighing less than or equal to 250 grams;
- Micro unmanned aircraft system: weighing more than 250 grams, but less than or equal to 2 kilograms;
- Small unmanned aircraft system: weighing more than 2 kilograms, but less than or equal to 25 kilograms;
- Medium unmanned aircraft system: weighing more than 25 kilograms, but less than or equal to 150 kilograms; and
- Large unmanned aircraft system: weighing more than 150 kilograms.
RESTRICTION ON USAGE OF DRONES
No person is allowed under the law to use and operate Drones without any valid license or certification from the Director General of Civil Aviation.
CERTIFICATE FOR OPERATION OF DRONES
The Director General of civil Aviation under the Ministry of Civil Aviation or any entity authorised by the Director General may issue a certificate for operating Drones known as ‘Type Certificate’.
PROCEDURE FOR TYPE CERTIFICATE
Any person willing to obtain a type certificate shall make an application on the form D-1 on the digital sky platform along with payment of prescribed fee and supporting documents. Also, the Drone shall be physically handed over to the Quality council of India which is the authorised testing entity of the Drones.
The Director General of civil aviation on satisfying itself with the report of the Testing Agency and other eligibility conditions shall issue a type certificate to the applicant.
There is no need to obtain a Type Certificate for the following types of Drones:
- A model remotely piloted aircraft system
- A nano unmanned aircraft system
WHETHER FOREIGN DRONES CAN BE IMPORTED TO INDIA
The Drones can be Imported to India and the process of Import shall be regulated by The Director General of civil Aviation under the Ministry of Civil Aviation or any entity authorised by the Director General.
REGISTRATION OF A DRONE
The Registration of a Drone shall be done on the digital sky platform of Director General of Civil Aviation website. A unique identification number is allotted to each Drone on successful Registration.
MANUFACTURING OF DRONES
The following steps are to be followed for obtaining certificate of Manufacture and Airworthiness (CMA)
- Obtaining a Unique Authorisation Number (UAN) for Manufacturer from DGCA.
- Obtaining Equipment Type Approval (ETA) from Regional Licensing Officer.
- Obtaining Unique prototype identification number of the Drone from DGCA.
- Manufacturing of prototype Drone.
- Finally, obtaining CMA from DGCA.
The Airspace of India is divided into 3 zones for the purpose of operation of Drones. They are:
- Red Zone – Red zone is the ‘no-drone zone’ within which drones can be operated only after permission from the Central Government.
- Yellow Zone – Yellow zone is the airspace above 400 feet in a designated green zone; above 200 feet in the area located between 8-12 km from the perimeter of an operational airport and above ground in the area located between 5-8 km from the perimeter of an operational airport.
- Green Zone – Green zone is the airspace up to 400 feet that has not been designated as a red or yellow zone; and upto 200 feet above the area located between 8-12 km from the perimeter of an operational airport.
The Airspace map for Drone operations is so designed as to be programmatically accessible through a machine-readable Application Programming Interface and interactive so that unmanned aircraft system pilots shall be able to plot their proposed flight plan and easily identify the zone within which it falls so as to assess whether or not they need to make an application for prior approval. The Central Government from time to time update the changes related to status of an area within different zones of the airspace map on digital sky platform.
ZONE-WISE RESTRICTION FOR THE OPERATION OF DRONES
It is not required to take any permission to operate Drones in a Green Zone with an all-up weight up to 500kgs. However, the operation of drones in Red or Yellow zones requires the permission of operation from the nearest Air Traffic Controller authorities like the Indian Air Force, Airports Authority of India, Indian Navy, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited as the case may and Central Government or any entity authorized by the Central Government.
REMOTE PILOT LICENSE
A Drone shall not be operated by any person other than a holder of a valid remote pilot licence enlisted on the digital sky platform.
An individual shall be eligible to obtain a remote pilot licence, if he–– (a) is not less than eighteen years of age and not more than sixty-five years of age; (b) has passed the class tenth examination or its equivalent from a recognised Board; and (c) has successfully completed such training as may be specified by the Director General, from any authorised remote pilot training organisation.
No remote pilot license shall be required for –– (a) operating a nano unmanned aircraft system; and (b) operating a micro unmanned aircraft system for non-commercial purposes.
With the introduction of the Drone Rules 2021, the Central Government’s initiative to promote Drone Industry is visible, however, it needs more liberalisation of policy to compete with international manufacturers and operators.
SPACE LAW IN INDIA
The Indian Space programme started in the year 1962 with setting up of Indian National Committee on space research (INCOSPAR) by the Father of the Indian space programme i.e., Dr. Vikram Sarabhai. Subsequently with the increasing space activities globally as a result of Cold War India became signatory to the under mentioned International treaties:
- Outer Space Treaty 1967
- Convention on International Liability for Damage caused by space object 1979.
- Moon Treaty in 1982
Further, the space activities in India have been governed by the Department of space which is headed by the Prime Minister of India.
DOMESTIC SPACE LAW
India does not have any specific act on space, though it has got one of the biggest space organizations in the world i.e ISRO. The reason for not having a specific act till now is as follows:
- First, India didn’t have a private sector with any intent or willingness to invest in India’s outer space ambitions.
- Secondly, for a long time, the Indian Space programme was not looking to explore space or send unmanned or even manned missions to outer space.
However, with the increasing potential of the space programme, the willingness of the private sector to invest in India’s outer space, and with increasing missions to the moon and Mars, there has been a radical change in the Indian Space programme. The Space Activities Bill 2017 was introduced by the Indian Government to make a change in terms of the space policies of India. The draft bill has completed public and legal consultation and it has now been sent for further approvals.
INDIAN SPACE RESEARCH ORGANISATION (ISRO)
ISRO was previously the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR). Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the space agency of India. The organization is involved in science, engineering, and technology to harvest the benefits of outer space for India and mankind. ISRO is a major constituent of the Department of Space (DOS), Government of India. The department executes the Indian Space Programme Primarily through various under-mentioned Centres or units within ISRO.
IN-SPACe (Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre) is a single-window nodal agency established to boost the commercialization of Indian space activities.
CPSEs (Central Public Sector Enterprises)
As the commercial and marketing arm of ISRO, Antrix is engaged in providing Space products and services to international customers worldwide.
NSIL (New Space India Limited)
NSIL is the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) with the primary responsibility of enabling Indian industries to take up high-technology space-related activities and is also responsible for the promotion and commercial exploitation of the products and services emanating from the Indian space program.
In the absence of any specific act on Space Indian space program is guided by the Rules made by the Department of Space along with related legislation and regulations of the Government of India. In addition, policies such as Remote Sensing Data Policy, SATCOM policy, Mapping policy, etc provide the relevant policy guidelines.

Both Chris Eichman and Steven Schwartz began their aviation sales careers with Cirrus Aircraft in the early 2000s – a time when the advent of the Technically Advanced Aircraft coincided with the U.S. property market boom to create abundant opportunities for two young aircraft salesmen.
In 2009, Chris and Steve left Cirrus to found TAS Aircraft Sales – now known as Aerista – after identifying a significant gap in the buying experience between those customers purchasing factory-new aircraft, and those choosing quality, late-model preowned aircraft. By bringing their aviation, business and sales expertise to bear, Chris and Steve knew they could create a buying and selling experience for their pre-owned aircraft clients that was second to none.
At Aerista, we’re passionate about perfecting the buying and selling experience. Derived from the Greek word for best, Aristo, the name Aerista embodies the level of service our clients have come to expect.
We believe our approach has been successful because we’ve aligned it around three core principles:
- Integrity. Our clients’ priorities always come first.
- Relationships. Forging meaningful connections is more important to us than any transaction.
- Expertise. We focus on products and services that we know deeply, so that we can provide real value to our clients.
Since the beginning, Aerista has been a Cirrus Pre-Owned Sales Partner – a distinction that we are proud of, and which speaks to the high level of service that is expected from, and delivered to, our clients every day. Over time, Aerista has built the largest inventory of pre-flown Cirrus aircraft, and has created a thriving market for Cirrus SF50 jet delivery positions.
In 2014 Aerista established a Turbine Aircraft division, and launched a factory sales partnership with ONE Aviation (formerly Eclipse Aerospace). Since that time, Aerista has become the largest reseller of Eclipse aircraft in the world, and we aspire to continue to grow into new markets as our capabilities and our clients’ needs evolve.
At Aerista we strive to help you succeed in your aviation endeavors. Thank you for visiting Aerista, and thank you for being our clients and friends.
