‘Space the final frontier…‘ these iconic words are of course from Star Trek, one of the most well-known adventure series about space exploration ever made. but recent events are blurring the lines between science fiction and science facts.
I don’t know if you noticed, but we recently ‘Experienced the opening salvo in the exciting new chapter of human spaceflight and exploration.’ The space race has recently enjoyed a resurgence of interest by both political and private entities determined to re-jump-start space exploration with a renewed vigor. Space exploration history was made just a few days ago when America’s newest capsule for astronauts arrived at the International Space Station after a high-stakes test flight by SpaceX.
The commercial crew effort was led by a trio of private American aerospace company’s (SpaceX, Boeing & Sierra Nevada) in an intimate partnership with NASA to get American’s back in space on American rockets from American Soil – rather than being entirely dependent on Russian rocket technology and Soyuz capsules for astronaut rides to orbit.
The only passenger was a life-size test dummy, named Ripley after the lead character in the “Alien” movies. SpaceX needs to nail the debut of its crew Dragon capsule before putting people on board later this year. Humanoid in appearance, this Ripley is little more than a sensor array in a human-like package but resembles a person enough for the people at SpaceX to give it it’s iconic science fiction name.
This latest edition of the Dragon reached the space station on Sunday morning, just 27 hours after liftoff. The capsule will spend five days docked to the orbiting outpost, before making a retro-style splashdown in the Atlantic next Friday — all vital training for the next space demo, possibly this summer, when two astronauts strap in.
In years to come, this moment might loom large as a turning point on humanity’s path to the stars. In the brief history of spaceflight and exploration, Few people are more deserving than Elon Musk, who deserves credit for moving things forward within a stalled American space program that seemed to falter at the same moment we watched the space shuttle on TV getting moved to its final resting place just a few short years ago. Unless you have been living under a rock or in some other isolated, cut-off location, then you know the enigmatic, DaVinci-like Musk has been a one-person force-of-nature and a wonder who has been instrumental in advances in the field of space travel technology. His efforts include reusable thrusters that can be landed upright remotely, and coming up with solutions for other pragmatic problems that have been problematic to the space program for years or even decades. There are times I wonder if Musk is a visitor from the future of perhaps another planet or galaxy.
Musk’s Dragon ships and capsules are not the only entry in the 21st-century space race in America.
Boeing and Sierra Nevada are competing with SpaceX to build the next generation spaceship to ferry astronauts to and from the ISS by 2017 using seed money from NASA’s Commercial Crew Program in a public/private partnership.
The Boeing CST-100 and Sierra Nevada Dream Chaser ‘space taxis’ are also vying for funding in the next round of contracts to be awarded by NASA around late summer 2014.


I was informed by Pegasus Airlines that my flight on 15062020 was cancelled today (29052020). I asked to have refund for the flight cost. They told me a refund of 160 Euros for a flight ticket costing 500 Euros.
Pegasus Airlines cancel the flight and also they are charging for 340 Euros for the refund of the cancelled flight!!

Aircraft developed but not used operationally in the war are in the prototypes section at the end. Compared to World War 1 (), World War 2 set the standard for aircraft combat by producing evermore powerful bombers, faster fighters and rocket- and jet-propelled airframes.
The result was more tonnage in ordnance dropped, higher ace counts and an all-new era of powered, heavier-than-air flight.

A Boeing 777 crashed during landing at the San Francisco International Airport yesterday.
Two fatalities have been confirmed out of the 307 passengers on the plane.
The flight was originating from Shanghai, China.
CSN Graduate, Kristine Swanson, says San Francisco is her hometown and it’s tragic what happened.
“It’s such a devastating accident. I am deathly afraid of planes- and this just confirms my fears.” Swanson said, “I don’t the details, I do know that a lot of the passengers were injured and apparently the plane was landing tilted.”
The crash has been said to be the first commercial plane crash in the United States since November 2001 where the AA Flight 587 crashed into Belle Harbor in New York City.
An eye witness has reported that the plane was landing with the tail too low and at what she described as a 45 degree angle.
All departing flights at the San Francisco International Airport had been cancelled and the airport was closed for several hours, all flights had to be averted to Los Angeles International Airport and Oakland Airport.
UNLV student, Willem Thompson, says he got the news through Twitter.
“I was looking through my feed and once I saw that there had been a plane crash I googled to find at more information.” Thompson said,”I recently saw the photos, which is terrifying, I’m just trying to staying updated until police find out what the cause of it was.”
Thompson added that what could have been ordinary day for passengers, took an unfortunate turn.
“It’s so sad. These passengers woke up, boarded the flight and thought they were going to land in San Francisco and start their day. Nobody ever thinks they will be a victim-we see remakes in the movies but the fear they felt must have been incommunicable.”


Integrated Collection System of Operational Data and M T O
The effective solution of the problems of air safety maintenance and airworthiness support
of aircraft during the process of exploitation is determined to a great extent by completeness
of data ware, its adequacy, the technology of data delivery and application. To achieve these
purposes it is necessary to use the up to date IT.
At present JSC Programmprom offers our new development - The Integrated Collection System of Operational Data (ISSDE) to all the participants in the process of airworthiness support.
ISSDE is intended for collection, keeping and processing data about failures and faults
of aviation equipment in the airlines in the interests of proper users groups. The data from
various operators is kept in the united data processing center. At the same time the possibility
of unauthorized access to the data is excluded (by means of special system facilities, as well
as extra developed software). On the other hand, according to the interested parties’ agreement,
the certain service datasets may be summarized and used for receiving impartial reliability
indices of aircraft exploitation and airworthiness.
The users of ISSDE are operators of aviation technique, as well as componentry manufacturers,
repair plants and centers of maintenance of aviation equipment. The operators provide
initial data to the system and, following feedback, are provided with recommendations on maintenance
of air safety, airworthiness support and efficiency of aircraft use.
ISSDE is not being delivered for the airlines.
All the interested participants in the process of airworthiness support may be linked up to
ISSDE and obtain full-scale access to the high-capacity computing and software resource under
support of highly skilled specialists at rather low expenditures. It is possible to link up to the
system practically from each workstation; the only condition is Internet availability.
The chosen workstation is being adjusted to the server and special connecting component is being
installed. The complete time of connection to ISSDE does not exceed 30 minutes.
Practically, the process of data exchange with ISSDE has no restrictions on types of systems,
operating at these or those enterprises. It is necessary only to match the format and structure of
transferable data to develop interface between ISSDE and local DB, participating in the data
exchange. This feature is of great importance really, because it permits not to violate the internal
data interaction of the subject, but uses only the existing data flows in the interests of structures,
responsible for airworthiness support of aviation equipment in the Civil Aviation Department.
Today ISSDE is being successfully exploited by the first-rate Russian enterprise in the area of
aircraft development - "Ilyushin Aviation Complex". The ISSDE database contains complete
information about failures and faults of all aircraft IL96, operating in Russia. This data is
being renewed constantly.
Nowadays ISSDE has no analogues.
It is necessary to mark that using the data from ISSDE database allows solving not only global
questions of airworthiness support and tracing the whole life cycle of an aircraft and its components,
but more completely and soundly solve neighboring tasks, particularly, such an important task as
material and technical supplies (MTO) of the airline. By now the software product AS MTO,
developed by JSC Programmprom, is to a great extent based on the information from ISSDE
database. Having available data about failures and faults of different kinds of aviation equipment and
calculating the current values of reliability indices, the user gets possibility to set the levels of not
reducing reserves for different groups of equipment to a high accuracy. This condition helps to minimize
expenditures and other costs, bound with the problem of material and technical supplies. The significance
of this factor cannot be overestimated.
It should be marked also that ISSDE and AS MTO can be applied to the process
of after sale maintenance of aviation equipment.


James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be the largest telescope in space. It has a deployable mirror of 6.6m in diameter and it is optimized for astronomical observations in the infrared band. It is planned for launch in 2021.
I am part of the Instrument Science Team of NIRSpec, the primary spectrometer of JWST, and part its Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) Team. In particular, I am coordinator of the Multi-Object Survey programme (JADES and WIDE) and co-lead of the Integral Field Spectroscopy programme.
NIRSpec will be the first multi-object spectrograph in space and will be capable of obtaining simultaneous spectra of more than one hundred objects with unprecedented sensitivity in the wavelength range 0.6-5.3 microns over an aread of 9 arcmin2.
NIRSpec also has an Integral Field Unit that will provide 3D spectroscopy over a field of view of view of 3x3 arcsec at the diffraction limit of the telescope (~0.1 arcsec).
The NIRSpec GTO Programme
In return for the provision of the NIRSpec spectrograph, the European Space Agency (ESA) has received an allocation of 900 hours of JWST guaranteed time. This program is managed by the ESA JWST project scientist and is being prepared by the NIRSpec guaranteed-time observation (GTO) team.
Together with a collaboration with the NIRCam team, a total of more than 1,100 hours will be dedicated to an unprecedented survey of several thousand distant galaxies out to the dawn of the Universe.

Hello, Boy! I’m back! Or, maybe something along the line of, “they’re here.” Here’s a deep pull for some of you, maybe the “V” aliens have returned. There are reports of bright lights soaring at “astronomical” speeds over Ireland. A lot of inquiries have been received by air traffic control officials in Shannon, County Kerry in southwest Ireland.
As it always does, it started last Friday at 6.47am (local time). A British Airways pilot called in asking about military exercises. She was flying a plane on route to Montreal, Canada, when she spotted a “very bright light”. It approached the left side of the aircraft and then “rapidly veered to the north”, the BBC reports. It did not appear to be heading for a collision, she said.
There were no military exercises taking place at that time. However, air traffic control did receive another report from a Virgin Atlantic pilot describing “multiple objects following the same sort of trajectory”. The pilot said he saw “two bright lights” on the right side of the plane. Then proceeded to climb away rapidly. He thought they could be meteors or objects re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere.
Are we alone in the universe?
Yet another pilot said the speed of the object was “astronomical”, “like Mach 2”. A rate of speed that is twice the speed of sound. Technically, this would make the flying objects supersonic and much faster than your commercial regular aircraft. They tend to travel at speeds of Mach 0.64, and roughly the same speed as a Concorde.
Officials have not yet revealed the nature of these UFOs detected by “a small number of aircraft on Friday 9 November”. If I was a betting man the odds they are the little green man flying saucer kind are looking slim. The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has said it has filed a report and will investigate the strange activity “under the normal confidential occurrence investigation process.”
A spokesperson from Shannon Airport has said that they will not comment on the incident before the investigation wraps up. But before people on Twitter could come up with too many outlandish theories from Guinness-loving Martians to Donald Trump’s “Space Force”.
Conspiracy theories aside, even if they were aliens, the government would never say. That isn’t to say they are aliens, but maybe that is what they want you to believe.

A veteran local pilot who's flown into Griffith Island hundreds of times says the airstrip there can make for a tricky landing.
Three men from Sudbury were killed Thursday afternoon as their Cessna amphibious plane made its final approach to land on the island's 2,700-foot grass airstrip. The plane crashed into the water well short of the runway, and the three men were unable to escape the wreckage. When police arrived at the scene, the plane was partially submerged.
Mervyn Cowen, owner and manager of Brucelandair, has been flying planes since the late 1950s and is very familiar with Griffith Island. His company, which flies all over the world, used to fly regular charters in and out of the island. The island is home to a private sport shooting and hunting club.
“It’s a sad situation,” Cowen said of the crash. “I hate to see something like that happen. It gets so much publicity, but a car accident with three people killed hardly gets anything.”
Cowen said the airstrip is “a little tricky getting into,” especially if a pilot is unfamiliar with it. It's a good airstrip that's well maintained, but its relatively short length can be intimidating for some, he said.
“So you want to get down and you don't want to be too fast or you can go off the end,” he said. “You’re landing on 2,700 feet, and at one time when I learned to fly, every airport was about 2,500 feet. But the pilots now are used to a much larger strips, and if they haven't had a lot of experience going into a short grass strip, it has a certain technique that you do.”
On a long strip, Cowen said it's almost as though the plane can land itself. Not so on a shorter one. “On a big long runway you can let the airplane land you. In other words, you have to fly the airplane (on a shorter strip) and you just can't let it sort of go on its own.”
The Griffith Island airstrip is located at the eastern edge of the island and fairly close to the shoreline, Cowen said, “so you're pointing your nose down just slightly above the bank (shoreline) and then flaring over the bank and getting down on the runway and stopped and so on.
“I don't like to speculate, but I know what he would be encountering coming in there on final approach. And I know what kind of winds and conditions he would be encountering. I'm not saying this is what happened to him . . . but to a lot of pilots it's unnerving having the shoreline up in front of you,” Cowen added.
He also wonders if the warm weather could have been a contributing factor, which he said can make an airplane behave differently. Temperatures Thursday were in the mid to high 20s, and the warmth can result in thinner air and possibly downdrafts.
“You need so much air passing over the wing, and the airspeed indicator tells you that, and just in the blink of an eye, you can see the airspeed indicator drop by 10 miles an hour or more,” Cowen said. “It depends on the wind shear and so on. You've got to keep your speed up a little bit, and if you haven't been in on short strips and that, you're a little nervous about doing that in case you overshoot.”
Cowen has owned the same type of Cessna aircraft, a 1956 model, and called it “an excellent airplane.” The age of it is not concerning, he said. “Absolutely not. If it's maintained properly, it's as good as a brand new airplane.”
The plane that crashed Thursday had its wheels down, which meant the pilot was planning to land on the airstrip and not in the water, Cowen said. He knows what happens when an amphibious plane tries to land in water with its wheels down, because he saw it happen in the 1970s while fishing off Red Bay.
“And he just flipped immediately, the airplane went on its back. It will flip you so fast, you won't even see it.”
If the pilot suddenly needs to land in water instead of land, it can take 15 or 20 seconds to retract the wheels in the wheel well and close the doors, otherwise water gets inside and damages the floats, he said. Water makes for a very hard landing, he added.
“They say it's harder than land, I've often heard that. It has no give to it.”
Cowen is not surprised the plane didn't sink to the bottom of the bay. Once flipped, he said the plane's floats would keep it floating upside down. He's unsure why the men on board couldn't get out.
“If they hit hard nose first or something, then maybe they could have been stunned and they weren't able to get out,” he said.
The type of plane involved in Thursday's crash “is a good easy flying airplane and one of Cessna's excellent models,” he said. “They’re all over the world.”
Cowen, who's flown small planes across the Atlantic and in and out of the Caribbean for years, says they're a safe mode of transportation. He said he doesn't recall any crashes or mishaps of Thursday's magnitude off Griffith or in the area before.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating the crash. Investigators were still on the scene over the weekend.


If we were to pick a technological marvel that has drastically expanded our perception of the cosmos, the Hubble Space Telescope would be an indisputable choice. As an iconic symbol of space exploration and human ingenuity, Hubble has been instrumental in unmasking the mysteries of the universe, rewriting textbooks, and inspiring a future generation of astronomers and space enthusiasts alike.
Hubble’s Technological Marvel: The Instruments
The Hubble Space Telescope is more than just a telescope; it’s a well-equipped space observatory. It houses several powerful instruments capable of capturing images and data in different wavelengths, from ultraviolet to near-infrared light.
Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3)
The Wide Field Camera 3, often seen as Hubble’s most technologically advanced instrument, is a panchromatic camera that can observe light from ultraviolet through visible to near-infrared wavelengths. Installed during the last servicing mission in 2009, the WFC3 has made some of the most colorful and detailed images of the cosmos.
Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS)
The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph specializes in spectroscopy, the science of splitting light into its component colors to study the properties of celestial objects. From analyzing the atmosphere of exoplanets to probing the gas surrounding galaxies, STIS has opened a new dimension of understanding the universe.
Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS)
Primarily focusing on ultraviolet light, the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph is designed to study the large-scale structure of the universe and how galaxies, stars, and planets formed and evolved. By observing how matter is distributed in the cosmos, COS provides insights into the cosmic web of the universe.
Hubble’s Major Contributions to Astronomy
Over the past decades, Hubble has been instrumental in many ground-breaking discoveries that have reshaped our understanding of the cosmos.
Dark Energy and the Expanding Universe
One of the most surprising discoveries made with the help of Hubble is the existence of dark energy, a mysterious force driving the accelerated expansion of the universe. By observing distant supernovae, scientists found that the universe is not only expanding but doing so at an ever-increasing rate. This counterintuitive discovery earned the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics and remains one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in science.
The Age of the Universe
Before Hubble, estimates of the universe’s age varied widely. However, with Hubble’s observations of variable stars, astronomers have refined the Hubble constant, a value used to calculate the rate of the universe’s expansion. Today, the universe’s age is estimated to be about 13.8 billion years, thanks largely to data from Hubble.
Probing Dark Matter
Through a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing, where the gravity of a massive object bends and magnifies the light of objects behind it, Hubble has provided indirect but powerful evidence for the existence of dark matter. Images of these cosmic mirages have helped astronomers map the dark matter distribution in the universe.
Hubble’s Cultural Impact
Beyond science, Hubble has made significant contributions to our culture and society.
The stunning images captured by Hubble have been featured on countless posters, album covers, and even fashion designs. They’ve sparked imagination and creativity, bringing the beauty of the cosmos to everyday life.
Education and Outreach
Through its numerous educational programs and resources, Hubble has played a pivotal role in promoting science education. Its images and discoveries have been used in classrooms worldwide to inspire students and cultivate interest in science and astronomy.
Hubble’s breathtaking images and mind-boggling discoveries have captured the public’s imagination and increased awareness about space exploration. Many of Hubble’s images have become iconic, representing our quest to understand the universe.
Hubble’s Key Milestones
The Hubble Space Telescope’s journey has been marked by numerous milestones that have defined its illustrious career.
Hubble’s First Light
Despite its early hiccups with the flawed mirror, Hubble’s “First Light” image, taken in May 1990, marked the beginning of its extraordinary journey. Although less impressive than later images due to the mirror issue, it symbolized a new era in space astronomy.
Servicing Missions: A New Lease of Life
The five servicing missions to Hubble, carried out by NASA astronauts, have been key to its success. The missions, involving some of the most complex work ever undertaken in space, have repaired and upgraded Hubble, expanding its capabilities and extending its life.
Reaching the Final Frontier: Hubble’s 30th Anniversary
In 2020, Hubble celebrated its 30th anniversary, an incredible feat for a telescope designed to last 15 years. It stands as a testament to the robust design, regular maintenance, and updates that have kept it operational and scientifically productive for three decades.
The Future of Space Telescopes
Hubble has paved the way for a new generation of space telescopes. The upcoming projects promise to further expand our understanding of the cosmos.
James Webb Space Telescope: The Next Giant Leap
Set to be launched in 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is often referred to as Hubble’s successor. While the JWST is not a direct replacement, its capabilities will complement and extend Hubble’s discoveries. Focusing on the infrared part of the spectrum, JWST will peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems.
Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: The Wide Eye on the Sky
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, previously known as the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope, is designed to conduct large surveys of the universe. It is set to launch in the mid-2020s and will provide a wide-field view, enabling it to capture an area of the sky 100 times larger than Hubble can.
LUVOIR: The Concept for a Future Giant
The Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR) is a concept for a future multi-wavelength space observatory. If approved and built, LUVOIR will be a true successor to Hubble with similar broad capabilities but much more power.
FAQs about Hubble Space Telescope

ROCKET scientists love their jargon, and it seems to be infectious. On September 1st, when a Falcon 9 rocket belonging to SpaceX, a private rocketry firm, blew up on the launchpad at Cape Canaveral, in Florida, the emergency services announced that the mission had undergone a “catastrophic abort”. It happened while the rocket was being fuelled for a pre-launch engine test. No one was hurt, although windows were rattled several miles away. A communications satellite costing $200m that was mounted on the rocket, in preparation for the planned launch on September 3rd, was destroyed in an instant.
The blast is a setback for SpaceX, a firm founded by Elon Musk, an entrepreneur who also runs Tesla, an electric-car maker. With contracts to fly cargo and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA, as well as a thick book of orders from private satellite firms, it is the flag-bearer for a growing, buccaneering “new space” industry. The explosion was SpaceX’s second big failure in 15 months: on June 28th 2015, an uncrewed Falcon 9 rocket exploded halfway to the ISS.

Just a few things of note from Ukraine on the aeronautical side of things. Images from my account on Airnav Radar Box which is cheap and (for me) very useful, I can recommend it highly.
First, here is a plot of aircraft flying over Europe through to Russia. Click to enlarge.
Note that Europe remains far busier than Russia, it generally is but now the situation is crazy. With a population satisfied by vodka and potatoes, and a GDP similar to Spain (whilst being far larger than Spain), there isn't much demand for flights in Russia. Following the sanctions that has only been exacerbated.
Also note how close to Belarus and Ukraine the Europeans are flying as compared to the obvious and massive no fly zone on the Russian side. Having killed, through sheer ineptitude, 298 people on flight MH17 the militarily incompetent Russians have decided to play it safe. That no-fly zones tells you how much the Russians trust their own forces.
An idea of how close the Europeans are prepared to fly their signals intelligence missions is given in the image below.


SummaryWhat is innovative is that it is a new system in exploration. It has about 10 different sensors integrated into the drone, making this more productive and environmentally friendly (no contact with the ground). It is an automated system, with a programmed flight plan, allowing for large areas to be covered in a short period of time (depending on regulation). The intention is also to reduce drilling needed (and hence costs). The system also provides a cost effective way to make mineral exploration in new, unexplored areas.
The company, Radai Oy, is innovating geophysical surveys and remote sensing by using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drones, as they are commonly known, which before were done mainly by carrying the relevant monitoring equipment.
The comany's UAV measurement system is installed in a custom-made UAV (Terrain Scout). The flight is controlled by an autopilot. The autopilot records flight data including GPS time and position (latitude and longitude), the orientation (roll, pitch and yaw), and barometric pressure. The real-time flight is controlled by PC software via a telemetry (radio) link. The nominal accuracy of the GPS position is about ±1.5 m.
The magnetic field is measured using a digital 3-component flux-gate magnetometer. The magnetometer data (X, Y, Z components and total field), are recorded by the company's own data logger. The GPS time and position are synchronized with the autopilot.
A base station located near the mobile telemetry/control station measures the time variation of the total magnetic field using a proton precession magnetometer.
This allows for more cost effective (i.e faster and more versatile (e.g. swamps or rivers are no obstacles for drones) and environmentally friendlier (no impact on the ground) exploration. Challenges remaining are the limited payload (requiring survey equipment to be modified light weight), the limited flight time (requiring comprehensive planning for larger survey areas), weather (i.e. wind) and different aviation policy requirements in different countries.
In August 2015 the company carried out a geophysical magnetic survey at Ryssänlampi site. The measurements were committed for Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) with the purpose to investigate the quality and reliability of an UAV based magnetic measurement system by comparing the results with existing GTK data. It was successful.

A sicilian-born Fighter Pilot, turned Test Pilot, turned Astronaut, Luca was the first Italian to perform a spacewalk during his 6 months mission, named ‘Volare’, on the International Space Station. Luca is married to Kathy and has 2 daughters, Sara and Maia.
I’m an Astronaut for the European Space Agency. I’m a triathlete, I love reading and music. Traveling is a big part of my life
I chose Houston, where I work at the Johnson Space Center. A very unique work place.
My wife and I were in Broadway. We were going to pick a show to watch, and we couldn’t decide which one we wanted to see more: there were so many available! I thought it was wonderful.
It shows a part of me which is almost never seen, in a location that is very familiar to most that know me.
Any time we can present our beautiful country in a positive light, count me in.
I find it’s very simple. Italians are loved and respected everywhere I go, certainly as professionals, even more for their human qualities.


NASA has selected six companies to design prototype deep-space habitats â€” a key piece of the effort to send astronauts on the long journey to the Red Planet, which NASA aims to do by the end of the 2030s.
Here's what to expect from US weather for the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks overnight tonight (Aug. 11-12).
Before Scott Kelly touched down after nearly a year on the space station, he helped kick off a year-long countdown to Super Bowl LI. Now on the ground, Kelly is set to hand off the flown football to the head of the Houston Super Bowl Host Committee.
Titan's canyons are generally less than 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers) wide, but up to 1,870 feet (570 meters) deep and feature slopes that are 40 degrees steep, a new study suggests.
The online Slooh Community Observatory will host a live webcast Thursday (Aug. 11) at 8 p.m. EDT (0000 GMT on Aug. 12) showing the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, which they promise will be the "best meteor shower of 2016."
Here's what you need to know about the famous Perseid meteor shower, which will peak overnight from Aug. 11 to Aug. 12.
The Perseid meteor shower is an annual celestial event that evolved from Comet Swift-Tuttle. See the comet in this image captured in 1992 (when the comet last visited Earth) by Gerald Rhemann.
In the early evening on Aug. 11 and 12, look for a celestial summit between the moon, Mars and Saturn.

A newly released video shows Perseid meteors recorded from July 26 through today (Aug. 11) by NASA's All Sky Fireball Network, a system of 15 cameras scattered throughout the country.


I’m always told about how bean-counters everywhere like to cut costs, but every now and then something slips through the net. Apparently Japanese researchers are developing a paper airplane to fly from the International Space Station to Earth! As much fun as that sounds, I am baffled as to how they got funding.
They don’t plan to collect data on its flight or even track it, so there is no research project that will come about as a result of the flight. It isn’t going to pay for itself unless they sell advertising space on the plane, which seems pretty unlikely. Obviously, projects like going to the moon can be ends in themselves as a signal of a nation’s technological prowess, as was the case for the superpowers’ space programs during the cold war. However, I’m not sure that flying a paper plane signals technological superiority (please correct me if I’m wrong here). I’d like to think that whoever funded it did it for a laugh, but perhaps that’s a bit optimistic and I’m just missing something big here!?
(We’d normally have Matt’s ‘Week in Numbers’ here, but he’s letting out his inner bogan at BDO today so this is the triviality that fills the spot.)


September is U.S. Air Force month.
Although today's Air Force is only celebrating its 70th birthday, it can trace its ancestry back to the earliest days of aviation. On 1 August 1907 the Army established the Aeronautical Division of the U.S. Signal Corps, total manpower: 1 officer, 2 enlisted. Number of planes: 2.
The Air Service would be renamed the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1926 and then U.S. Army Air Force in 1941.
During World War II the Army Air Force would grow to more than 2.5 million members. It would fly over 80,000 aircraft in battles from Europe to the Pacific. The U.S. Army Air Force provided the air superiority that enabled the Allies to finally defeat the Axis Power.
After the war, the President and Congress determined that the Army Air Force should be a fully independent military service like the Navy and Army. On September 18, 1947 legislation creating the United States Air Force was signed by President Harry S Truman.
For more than a century the U. S. Air Force has projected American power and prestige around the globe. Here is to another century of service, Happy Birthday Air Force....Aim High.

March 12, 2019 There is growing speculation on what caused a Boeing 737 MAX 8 to fall out of the sky Sunday morning—but no evidence yet. Boeing’s 737 jets have an outstanding safety record, and human error, random malfunction or terrorism have not been ruled out. Sunday’s Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash is being called a “global disaster” after a list of 157 passengers and crew revealed victims of 35 ethnicities. Eight Americans were killed, including U.S. Army Captian Antoine Lewis, 40, of Matteson, Illinois.
What is known is that two Being 737 MAX 8 jets crashed in less than four months, killing over 300 passengers and crew. A brand new Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX 8 flight went down over the Java Sea last October, killing 189 people.
Safety experts caution against drawing too many comparisons between the two crashes until more is known about Sunday’s disaster. Two black boxes from Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET302 have been recovered, which will enable investigators to learn more about the cause of the crash. Ethiopian Airlines CEO, GebreMariam said Ethiopia’s Ministry of Transport will work with the United States, where Boeing is based, to find a place to examine that data. Ethiopia does not nave the necessary equipment to perform those tasks on its own, he added.
Several countries have grounded all flights, including China, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia and Ethiopia. The European Union announced on Tuesday afternoon all operations of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in Europe are being suspended beginning at 3 p.m. ET, according to a statement.
In the United States, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and several others are still flying the 737’s with no plans to ground them.
According to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) there are approximately 350 Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft in operation worldwide, being flown by 54 operators.
The FAA says in a statement that it will issue an international notification regarding the Boeing 737 MAX in the wake of the crash in Ethiopia crash. The agency says it will “take immediate and appropriate action” if it identifies a safety issue.”
The pilots of Sunday’s Ethiopian Airlines flight told air traffic control they were having “flight control problems” before the crash, airline CEO Tewolde GebreMariam told CNN’s Richard Quest Tuesday. Full investigations into an aviation disaster can take years, but the first indications of what the data and voice recorders reveal will emerge in the next few days.
A U.S. Department of State travel alert reversal for Americans traveling in Ethiopia just hours before the fatal crash of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 is raising eyebrows. The update reversed a warning to Americans from traveling into or out of Addis Abba Bole airport on Sunday, March 10.
The original U.S. State Department safety alert, issued on Friday read:
“U.S. Government travelers have been advised not to arrive or depart Bole International Airport on Sunday, March 10, and U.S. Embassy personnel are also temporarily prohibited from traveling to Oromia.”
The update issued just hours before the fatal crash gave an “all clear” for travel to and from the airport.
“U.S. Government travelers may arrive or depart from Bole International Airport on Sunday, March 10.”

The growing popularity and affordability of drones has seen more people than ever using them to get great photographs or video.
However even the smallest unmanned aircraft can cause a huge safety risk on the railway if it collided with a train, hit overhead power lines or distracted train crew or track workers.
Following an incident in north Wales earlier this year when a drone was flown close to a train, Arriva Trains Wales, Network Rail and British Transport Police are reminding people to respect the rules and stay safe.
- It is a criminal offence to fly a drone on, over or within 50 metres of the railway; that's the length of an Olympic size swimming pool. You must also not fly them within 150 metres of a built up area.
- Those who do break the law could end up in court facing a penalty of up to £2,500.
Acting Operations Director for Arriva Trains Wales, Martyn Brennan said: “We know there is fantastic technology available to the public in the form of unmanned aircraft or drones, which can get brilliant video footage and pictures. "However on the railway safety is always the first priority and as such there are very clear laws surrounding the use of drones on or near the rail network. It is a criminal offence to fly a drone on, over or within 50 metres of the railway or within 150 metres in built up areas.
"It is essential that anyone interested in using drones should comply fully with the rules laid down by the Civil Aviation Authority as flying one too close to the railway could result in a serious accident.
"We will be working closely with our partners in Network Rail and the British Transport Police to get these messages out there and take any action where appropriate.”
So even if you're an enthusiast wanting to get a great shot of the railway in action, it's vital to remember to stick to the rules as safety comes first.

Skate is a fighter pilot who loves to read thrillers. Lately he has taken his passion a step further and started penning aviation thrillers himself.
He's not the first aviator in the family. One grandfather worked on airplanes in WWII. A second grandfather was a military pilot, flew in Vietnam, and earned the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award for fifty years of active flying. His father is still working as a test pilot and flies small planes for fun. He has a sibling and cousins that are also pilots and an uncle who was a navigator. As a matter of fact, everyone in Skate's immediate family has a pilot's license. You will find his family, including his grandfather and cousin, are contributors at True Airspeed blog.
Writing novels is not new to his family, either. He is the son of Sandy Parks who also writes aviation thrillers and science fiction, and his aunt, Julie Moffett, writes geek and YA mysteries.
When Skate is not finding new ways to bring the thrills of supersonic flight onto the pages of his books and blogs, he enjoys traveling to find the next perfect setting. He's traveled in Asia, the Pacific, Europe, South and North America and lived various places around the world like Japan and Korea.
His adventures started at the US Air Force Academy where he did his best to hike, fish, and ski in between studies in mechanical engineering.
Lastly, for those curious, Skate is his call sign chosen by his flying commrades.
