Apollo 11 truly started more than a decade
Apollo 11 might never have flown if many different occasions had not
taken place earlier than it So its story properly begins with the launch of
the first-ever artificial satellite: Sputnik.
As Tom Wolfe (The Right Stuff)
describes, unusual People had dire visions of what else
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics may launch. Individuals feared a
low-earth orbital strategic bomber, dispatching nuclear re-entry
automobiles by direct control by a pilot. Naturally the decision rang out—on
each side of the aisles in Congress—to make the Russians assume
twice. To try this, so the idea went, People should present that
no matter they did, we
might do higher.
Cultural preludes to Apollo 11
Your editor was born seven weeks
after that occasion. So by the point your editor reached faculty, Sputnik
had had its effect on American culture. Now each youngster must study
primary science—in grammar faculty. In free time, common
leisure featured intrepid males flying in area—and doing many
of the same issues comparable men did on Earth. Even toymakers
responded. However the toy market went farther than imitations of
fanciful spacecraft. A toddler (particularly a boy) might build and fly
real rockets. These
rockets flew either by water underneath strain or by solid-fuel rocket
engines. These engines used the identical type of powder widespread fireworks
used then and now.
But even earlier than such toys turned
widespread, real males have been still making an attempt to build real rockets. The
solely drawback (again, based on Wolfe): our rockets all the time blew up.
Or so it appeared.
Vanguard turned a by-word for American embarrassment—till at
last the venture succeeded and arrange two satellites. Now
the area program was beneath method.
However President Dwight D.
Eisenhower would not let matters relaxation there. He (and then-Senator
Lyndon Baines Johnson, D-Texas) insisted on flying males into area, as
rapidly as attainable. “Ike” did insist on one important refinement
to what turned Undertaking Mercury: to recruit check pilots, not rank
amateurs. That decision would
take on an significance on which perhaps neither man reckoned.
In reality, Undertaking Mercury was more
proactive from the
beginning. The company now
referred to as the Nationwide Aeronautics and Area Administration (NASA)
chosen seven check pilots from all three branches of army
aviation—Air Pressure, Navy, and one Marine. But
the undertaking scientists and administrators expected these seven to
behave virtually like the chimpanzees additionally they labored with. The seven
males—now calling themselves astronauts—proved
them improper. Being pilots, they insisted on flying as
pilots. That pressured radical
redesigns of their meant re-entry car (the “capsule”) to
embrace issues like home windows—and guide controls.
All astronauts (besides
for “mission and payload specialists”) have flown as pilots ever
put any person up there!
Nonetheless, the overabundantly
cautious NASA hesitated to send one of many seven into area. As an alternative
they sent their first chimpanzee, named Ham. The
check pilot group, especially at Edwards AFB (from which,
mockingly, NASA had recruited its Air Drive contingent), laughed
Gagarin changed every part. On 11 April 1961, he turned the first
human being to fly in area. By then, America had a new President,
John F. Kennedy. And Kennedy realized the implications directly. So,
two issues happened. First,
NASA did send a man
into area: Alan
Shepard, who lifted off on Might 5. Twenty days later,
President Kennedy addressed a joint session of Congress and gave it
this bold message:
I consider that this nation ought to commit itself to
attaining the aim, earlier than this decade is out, of touchdown a person on
the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.
Extra reactive modifications of plan
NASA adopted up Shepard’s
flight on July 21, 1961, with Gus
Grissom. That flight led to near-tragedy—as a result of Grissom made
the flight with out incident, however misplaced his capsule after spashing
down. (Did he blow the hatch too soon accidentally? Or did one thing
else go improper? NASA nonetheless
gained’t speak about it, regardless that the Navy has since recovered
NASA had deliberate more suborbital
hops—and again the Russians “intervened.” Gherman Titov took
off and overflew United States territory.
NASA modified its plans directly:
they deliberate to ship up Marine Col. John H. Glenn, this time into
orbit. That meant utilizing a yet-untried launch car, the Atlas.
Glenn, undaunted, advised NASA he was prepared. The engineers had to attempt
twice with Glenn’s craft—but the second time proved the allure,
and John Glenn made it into orbit.
Venture Gemini, quick prelude to Undertaking
Undertaking Mercury ended three flights
later. Every man among the unique seven went up once—besides
Donald Okay. Slayton, who developed a cardiac dysrhythmia. NASA grounded
him, however the astronauts banded collectively to offer him a new job—as
The subsequent challenge, using a bigger
capsule, concerned sending two
astronauts at a time. Hence the identify of the challenge: Gemini, for the
Twin Gods. With this challenge,
NASA perfected most of the methods on which the lives of the
Apollo 11 crew would depend. These included rendezvous, docking, and
spacewalking (“extra-vehicular exercise”).
Apollo begins—with tragedy.
In 1967 got here Undertaking Apollo—and
the first main tragedy. Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chafee
climbed into a three-man capsule for a gown rehearsal. A spark in
the oxygen-saturated air started a fireplace—and the astronauts, sealed
in, could not escape. Then-President
Johnson buried them with full army honors. Then, mockingly,
Johnson was off to Moscow in April of 1967—to take part in a
Russian cosmonaut’s funeral. Vladimir
Komarov, piloting Soyuz 1
(actually, Union 1), died when his ship misplaced its parachute, and
missions of Tasks Mercury and Gemini had all played out on stay
television in America. Now the television broadcasts fell silent.
Most of your editor’s contemporaries forgot that Challenge Apollo
nonetheless existed. However the undertaking engineers have been nonetheless at work, sending
up five empty capsules for numerous orbital maneuvers.
Then NASA abruptly returned to
television in an enormous approach.
Would Apollo 11 ever make it?
Apollo 7 took abnormal individuals by
shock. Earlier than then, many
thought the venture had died. This included a Hollywood manufacturing
company that made a film, Countdown
(rel. February 1968), a few desperation mission. In it, the Soviet
Union prepares to send a two-man crew to the moon. So NASA shortly
sends one astronaut on
a one-way mission: to
land on the Moon and switch to a shelter.
No such mission even made it to
the strategy planning stage. But on
October of 1968, about twenty-two months
after the tragedy named “Apollo 1,”
got here Apollo 7.
The country saw
three men go up in a capsule, and are available back down—safely. And
breathed a collective sigh of aid.
Aid turned to elation through the
Christmas season of 1968—as a result of Apollo 8 left Earth orbit and
entered orbit across the Moon for the first time.
The last demonstrations
In 1969 got here Apollo 9, the first
demonstration of the new Lunar Excursion Module—later renamed plain
“Lunar Module.” Apollo 10
would reveal the LM once more, this time on a mission to return inside
a whisker of an actual landing.
that, NASA had set the stage. However, Neil A. Armstrong and
Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr., the two who would fly a LM to land on
the Moon, knew they have been taking an incredible danger. No pilot likes to
fly any type of craft that has by no means flown earlier than—on a essential
mission. But NASA now requested
these two males to do exactly that.
Apollo 11 lifts off
Everyone in America, it appeared,
waited with bated breath for Apollo 11 to begin. On July 16, 1969,
barely a soul in America was not paying consideration. The
large Saturn V rocket lifted off and not using a hitch. However no one was
enjoyable. No one might—because this was solely the
three-man crew (including Michael Collins, who would pilot the
capsule) still had an extended journey ahead of them.
subsequent 4 days included one milestone after one other. Individuals watched
the Apollo 11 crew as they:
- Left Earth orbit,
- Retrieved the LM from its
protective coverings, and then
- Slowed right down to put themselves into
orbit across the Moon.
Apollo 11 lands
Sunday, July 20, noticed probably the most
tension-packed exercise of all. First, Armstrong and Aldrin, having
climbed into their LM and undocked, piloted their craft to a landing.
That in itself would have held enough drama to make up for twenty-two
months of inactivity. However the controllers in Houston, Texas have been
nonetheless biting their nails. They might not know whether or not the
Apollo 11 LM would sink right into a cloud of mud.
For that cause, the LM carried four sensors, a few meter lengthy,
that might shut off the descent-stage engine when all 4 signaled
contact. In any other case, the engineers feared, Apollo 11 may blast a
gap within the dust only to have it bury them!
The boulder area
As if that didn’t trigger sufficient
worry, Astronaut Armstrong had to override
the computer program for the touchdown at the final minute. As he later
described it, he was about to land in a football-field-sized crater
with boulders the dimensions of cars! He
had no time to “clear” it with the bottom controllers. So he
seized the controls, moved the LM to a flat spot, then let the LM
in “Mission Management” waited—as did the nation, both
listening on radio or watching a pure-guess animation on tv.
The only actual indication anyone had have been the crew’s voices.
Finally, “Buzz” stated, “Contact
Armstrong followed this with, “OK,
engine stop!” and some different rapid-fire stories.
McCandless then stated, “We copy you down, Eagle,”
utilizing the identify the crew had given the LM.
The world had to wait two seconds for the subsequent voice. (The Moon is way enough away for the time for a radio message to travel forwards and backwards turns into vital.) Then came Armstrong saying, “Houston—ah–Tranquility Base right here. The Eagle has landed.”
McCandless stated, “Roger, Twank—er, Tranquility, we copy you on
the bottom. You’ve received a bunch of men about to turn blue. We’re
respiration once more. Thanks so much.”
was the understatement of the mission. That conversation befell
at 4:18 p.m. Central Daylight Time—Houston time.
A name for prayer
Two and a half
hours later, “Buzz” Aldrin got here on the radio and referred to as for
That is the LM pilot. I’d wish to take this chance
to ask each individual listening in, whoever and wherever they could be,
to pause for a moment and ponder the occasions of the past few
hours and to offer thanks in his or her personal method.
The Apollo 11 moonwalk
As soon as
again the individuals had to wait, for
about four hours,
to see or hear anything. Throughout that time, the information networks
entertained viewers with demonstrations of an Apollo moonsuit and
what Armstrong and Aldrin would do after they left their craft.
at about 4 minutes to 11:00 p.m. Houston time, TV viewers saw the
similar demonstration that they had seen earlier than. Then the demonstrator pulled
a lever—and Neil Armstrong pulled the actual lever on the Moon. Now
everyone might see one thing actual! At first the picture was upside
down—so NASA flipped the picture they have been getting.

controllers have been still scared that he would sink right into a dry

this was exhausting, coherent regolith. Armstrong
first collected a sample and slung it on his belt—in case he needed to
take off fast.
then unshipped the digital camera from its cradle on the LM, panned all
around him, and remounted the digital camera on a tripod. From then on,
viewers might see the LM, Armstrong—and Aldrin, who joined him. The
high quality of the TV footage was horrendous, of
course—NASA could not transmit using NTSC alerts!

was anticlimactic. Everyone had seen a splashdown, in fact, so the
homecoming of Apollo 11 appeared routine—at first. But now began 21
days of quarantine for the astronauts—as a result of NASA wasn’t positive

12 and Apollo 14) later, NASA would conclude that the Moon had no

the astronauts make a determined bid to escape. In the meantime, an
enterprising reporter dodges federal drug brokers and would-be
assassins to seek out a minimum of one in every of them and convey him residence. The
mission commander’s spouse offers the very important clue. In the
acting-out, the commander talks about taking the household to a spot
where they hadn’t gone. And the place they really
had gone was a film set—then in use! In different phrases, they really
had visited a place where
individuals staged one thing for entertainment!
Armstrong is now lifeless. But Edwin Aldrin still lives. Once,
a “we by no means went to the Moon” theorist confronted Aldrin and
requested him to denounce the Apollo 11 story. Phrases failed Aldrin; he

fueling the we-never-went-to-the-Moon controversy, this shamed

Exploration of Uranus
In 1986, NASA’s Voyager 2 interplanetary probe encountered Uranus. This flyby remains the only investigation of the planet carried out from a short distance, and no other visits are currently planned. Launched in 1977, Voyager 2 made its closest approach to Uranus on January 24, 1986, coming within 81,500 kilometers of the planet’s cloud tops, before continuing its journey to Neptune. Voyager 2 studied the structure and chemical composition of Uranus’s atmosphere, including the planet’s unique weather, caused by its axial tilt of 97.77°. It made the first detailed investigations of its five largest moons, and discovered 10 new moons. It examined all nine of the system’s known rings, discovering two new ones. It also studied the magnetic field, its irregular structure, its tilt and its unique corkscrew magnetotail caused by Uranus’s sideways orientation.
A Uranus orbiter and probe has been recommended by NASA’s decadal survey; the proposal envisages launch during 2020–2023 and a 13-year cruise to Uranus.


I really hate that the Republicans "own" space exploration in this country. The aerospace industry is one giant "make work" program for migrant white-collar workers. So why isn't this massive social program the darling of the Democrats? I really don't get it.
The beauty of a space program is it is inspiring. John Kerry had some idea about a great big government project revolving around energy self-sufficiency. That's a great goal, but it's not sexy. Space exploration is sexy. It captures the imaginations of kids who need a reason to study math and science.
On the road to adulthood, a child's dreams mature. Not everyone who excels in math and science will end up as an astronaut. But they will be prepared for helping to solve energy problems, or designing sustainable water infrastructures, and all the other necessary engineering projects coming up for us.
Because the big, exciting dream was there to start them on the path to their own excellence.

The LET-410 UVP-E is a 19-seat turboprop aircraft, ideal for short commuter flights on the Manx2 network. In total, more than 1,100 of these aircraft have now been built and are powered by two of the ultra-reliable and internationally-acclaimed Walther M601 turboprop engines. These produce a normal cruising speed of 350 km/hr and give the aircraft a range, with full payload, in excess of 500 miles.
Inside the aircraft
The aircraft cabin is spacious with generous under-seat hand baggage space, and with full width seats it is one of the most comfortable cabins in its class.
The aircraft has either 17 or 19 seats and are configured with one seat to the left of the aisle and two seats to the right. Manx2 normally operates a free seating policy, and seats can be chosen according to preference on a first-come, first-served basis.
The aircraft can be completely re-rigged in less than 20 minutes and, with a full width opening rear door, it can carry a payload in excess of 2 tonnes.

As a professional, I understand the importance of using relevant keywords in an article. In this article, I will be discussing the Master Short-Term Engine Lease Agreement 2012 Revision and its significance in the aviation industry.
The Master Short-Term Engine Lease Agreement 2012 Revision is a widely used agreement in the aviation industry. It is a legally binding agreement between the lessor (the owner of the engine) and the lessee (airline or other operator) that outlines the terms and conditions of leasing an aircraft engine.
The agreement covers various aspects such as the duration of the lease, maintenance and repair obligations, insurance requirements, and termination clauses. The purpose of this agreement is to ensure that both parties are protected and their interests are safeguarded.
The 2012 revision of the agreement introduced several changes to the original document. One of the key changes was the inclusion of a provision allowing for the lessor to provide spare parts during the lease period. This provision was included to help reduce the downtime of the aircraft and increase the overall efficiency of operations.
Another change introduced in the 2012 revision was the inclusion of a clause that allows for the lessee to cancel the agreement in the event of a material breach by the lessor. This ensures that the lessee has a way out if the lessor does not fulfill their obligations under the agreement.
The Master Short-Term Engine Lease Agreement 2012 Revision is particularly important in the aviation industry as it helps airlines and other operators to quickly lease aircraft engines when needed. By using this agreement, operators can avoid the significant costs associated with purchasing an engine outright, as well as the added expense of maintenance and repairs.
In conclusion, the Master Short-Term Engine Lease Agreement 2012 Revision is a critical agreement in the aviation industry. It provides a framework for leasing aircraft engines and helps to ensure the efficient and cost-effective operations of airlines and other operators. If you are involved in the aviation industry, it is important to be familiar with this agreement and its terms and conditions.

After what seems like an eternity of flight school and training Michael was finally able to take me flying this past weekend. The whole thing happened kind of last minute but I’m so glad we got the chance to go flying together. It felt so surreal and like we were in some kind of movie! Not to mention romantic. We flew in a small plane called a Piper Archer. It had 4 seats and a little space for luggage in the back.
Up to this point I’d never flown in a plane so small. I have no idea why but for some reason I thought it’d be just as smooth as a big airliner (dumb). So here I am thinking it’d be smooth and steady. We started to take off for the first time and I was videoing it all. As we went faster and faster and finally took off into the air I felt my stomach drop. I was getting so freaked out I stopped recording the video and just started doing deep breaths. This probably sounds super dramatic and I swear I’m no wimp, but it is a crazy different feeling taking off + flying in a teeny tiny airplane when you’re not used to it. Michael is an amazing pilot 😉 but the plane still had all kinds of dips and movements in the air. All perfectly safe but it took a little while to get used to.
We flew for a while then Michael landed us at an airport in Indiana for lunch at a super cute aviation-themed cafe. I drank a lot of water and bought gum and an air sickness bag (just in case LOL) for the next few trips. We then flew around and made a couple different stops at other airports. Michael got to land on a grass field for the first time too! I even flew 😉 but for only like 2 minutes.
In total we flew for about 3 hours. After getting used to the feeling of a smaller aircraft it was SO exhilarating. We were only 3,500 feet off the ground so it was amazing to see everything down below so vividly and up close. One of my favorite parts was listening to Michael talk on the radio and hearing all the radio talk. Sometimes it truly sounds like another language and it all sounds so badass. The turns were so fun. Michael would do these sharp(ish) turns in order to line up properly with the runways to land. Then I could really see out the window and everything was topsy turvy and it was amazing.
Not going to lie it felt so glam/luxurious to be flying around in a private airplane!! But — it would have been even better if I’d prepared myself just a littttle bit better. If you’re planning a flight in a smaller airplane and have never been before I’d def recommend wearing cool clothes, take a dramamine, and bring cold water and gum with you.
I’m sure this will be the first of many flights to come for Michael and I!
**HUGE THANK YOU to Michael’s mentor Mr. Derrick for letting us fly your plane!! An amazing experience I’ll never forget.


Chandrayaan 1 and Chandrayaan 3 are both lunar missions conducted by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). However, there are notable differences between the two missions. One significant difference is the objective of each mission. Chandrayaan 1, launched in 2008, aimed to orbit the moon and conduct scientific experiments to study its surface and composition. On the other hand, Chandrayaan 3, planned for launch in late 2022 or early 2023.
Chandrayaan-1 vs. Chandrayaan-3: A Giant Leap in India’s Lunar Exploration
India’s voyage into space has been marked by daring efforts to investigate the secrets of the Moon. With its Chandrayaan missions, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has continually upped the bar in lunar exploration. Chandrayaan-1, launched in 2008, was India’s first lunar mission, while Chandrayaan-3, the most recent mission, promised to advance India’s lunar objectives. In this essay, we will look at the contrasts between these two missions and how Chandrayaan-3 represents a big step forward in India’s lunar exploration effort.
Chandrayaan-1: A Pioneering Step
Objectives of Chandrayaan-1:
Chandrayaan-1, launched in 2008, was India’s maiden lunar mission with the following objectives:
- Remote Sensing: Chandrayaan-1 aimed to perform high-resolution remote sensing of the Moon’s surface, mapping its mineral composition and topography.
- Water on the Moon: The mission sought to detect the presence of water or ice on the lunar surface, which could have profound implications for future lunar missions.
- Lunar Impact Probe: Chandrayaan-1 included an impact probe designed to impact the lunar surface and relay valuable data back to Earth.
Achievements of Chandrayaan-1:
Chandrayaan-1 achieved significant success in its remote sensing objectives and made a groundbreaking discovery – it detected water molecules on the lunar surface, confirming the presence of water-ice in the Moon’s polar regions. The lunar impact probe, as planned, sent valuable data during its descent. Unfortunately, the mission was prematurely terminated due to a communication loss, but its achievements laid the groundwork for future lunar exploration.
Chandrayaan-3: The Final Frontier
Chandrayaan-3’s goals are as follows:
India’s planned lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3, is intended to build on the successes and lessons learnt from Chandrayaan-1 and Chandrayaan-2. Its goals are bold and far-reaching:
- Safe and gentle Landing on the Lunar Surface: One of the key goals of Chandrayaan-3 is to show a safe and gentle landing on the lunar surface. Because of the lack of atmosphere and the requirement to keep the precious payload intact, landing a spacecraft on the Moon with pinpoint accuracy is a tough undertaking.
- Rover movement on the Moon: The mission’s second goal is to demonstrate rover movement on the lunar surface. Rovers are critical tools for lunar exploration because they can travel the surface, collect samples, and conduct experiments in lunar environments. multiple locations, significantly enhancing our understanding of the lunar surface and its composition.
- Conducting In-Situ Scientific Experiments: The third critical objective is to conduct in-situ scientific experiments on the Moon. This involves deploying instruments and sensors to gather data directly from the lunar surface, providing valuable insights into the Moon’s geology, mineral composition, and potential as a resource for future space missions.
Technological Advancements in Chandrayaan-3:
Chandrayaan-3 is equipped with advanced technologies within its Lander module (LM) to achieve its objectives, including altimeters, velocimeters, inertial measurement systems, a sophisticated propulsion system, Navigation, Guidance & Control (NGC) software, hazard detection and avoidance systems, and a robust landing leg mechanism. These technologies reflect ISRO’s commitment to ensuring a successful lunar landing, even in the face of potential challenges.
A Comparative Analysis
Let’s now compare Chandrayaan-1 and Chandrayaan-3 to highlight the significant differences:
- Chandrayaan-1 primarily focused on remote sensing and water discovery.
- Chandrayaan-3 aims for safe landing, rover mobility, and in-situ experiments.
- Chandrayaan-1 made groundbreaking discoveries regarding lunar water but faced communication loss.
- Chandrayaan-3 is yet to achieve its objectives but represents a more comprehensive and ambitious approach to lunar exploration.
3. Technological Advancements:
- Chandrayaan-1 employed advanced technology for its time.
- Chandrayaan-3 features cutting-edge technology to ensure safe landing and rover mobility.
4. Landing Attempt:
- Chandrayaan-1 didn’t attempt a landing.
- Chandrayaan-3 is specifically designed for a lunar landing.
5. Current Status:
- Chandrayaan-1 completed its mission.
- Chandrayaan-3 is in the development phase.
The lunar exploration missions Chandrayaan-1 and Chandrayaan-3 represent two separate phases in India’s lunar exploration quest. While Chandrayaan-1 provided the groundwork for future lunar missions, Chandrayaan-3 represents India’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of lunar exploration. With its lofty goals and cutting-edge technology, Chandrayaan-3 promises to be a huge leap forward in India’s effort to uncover the mysteries of our nearest cosmic neighbor. As we await the launch of Chandrayaan-3, it is a tribute to India’s rising prowess in space research.

For tall buildings and airports
Why do obstacles need to be illuminated?
- The law stipulates that buildings of a specific height and in the vicinity of airports as well as factory chimneys, towers, masts etc. must be equipped with obstruction lights.
- This special lighting makes obstacles visible for pilots in the dark or when visibility is poor. Obstruction lighting is one of the most important aspects of flight safety.
What directives and regulations are there?
In Germany the Ministry for Transport and Construction Development (BMVBS) issues the regulations covering obstruction lighting on buildings. The ICAO regulations regarding the methods of marking and lighting aviation obstacles can be found in ICAO Annex 14.
- "Low intensity obstacle beacon type A": a red permanent night-time warning beacon for fixed obstructions with a brightness of 10 cd.
- "Low intensity obstacle beacon type B": a red permanent night-time warning beacon for fixed obstructions with a brightness of 32 cd.


There exists quite a bit of discuss how Professional keselamatan keamanan penerbangan Flight Simulator is healthier compared to the Microsoft flight sim, and should perfectly be the most beneficial flight sim up to now. Critiques go on about how detailed the knowledge is as well as vast amount of plane readily available. Very well that is definitely pretty much the overview of absolutely everyone promoting online games and simulators. So, how does the normal sim flight lover fee the game and what’s their expertise? Just after each of the true take a look at of how fantastic any simulator is, lies in how well the fans of sim like it and just how it plays. Let’s investigate it with the standpoint of a flight simulation admirer looking for a practical flight expertise.
With most flight Sims, those people played on the Pc may well absence some realism simply because a lot of are certainly not appropriate with controls similar to all those used in aircraft. Controlling a flight making use of a keyboard is not really quite as genuine an expertise as making use of foot pedals and yolks. Pro Flight Simulator overcomes that downside by letting for interface with quite a few in the preferred Leading Gun controllers which admittedly increase into the realism from the practical experience. Talking of compatibility, it really works for nearly all variations of windows (anticipated) and for Macs as well (not as envisioned).
Flight sim supporters usually possess the larger superior def monitors, and for your Professional Flight Simulator, a large screen expertise is certainly suggested as a result of the really thorough realism with the outside scenery (synched with Google maps) and also the cockpit look at. With the Flight Sim Admirer on the lookout for realism Professional Flight Sim could perfectly be capable of supply much better than any simulator earlier.
There was lots of discuss the download in the Pro Flight Simulator getting a significant one particular. That is simply solved by upgrading into the CD variation. Nonetheless the download is effectively worthwhile regarding the visual and control precision this flying simulator provides. It may be synched with Google maps, and has practical surroundings, airports and may mirror genuine time temperature conditions.
Certainly those options are most likely not as noteworthy for your avid flight simulation admirer since the truth that cockpit controls plus the instrumentation respond realistically. Some lag in instrumentation is always current and is particularly mirrored while in the instrument panels of the simulator. The magnetic compass is subject to actual time influences which include plane physique forces, the gyro really drifts since it would in real instrumentation.
Professional Flight Simulator may possibly perfectly be the top flight sim nonetheless to the accurate flight sim enthusiast. It’s got the realism that avid fans need from their sim online games. The rookie could find the selection of plane practically too overpowering for them so, even though the selling price is correct, the choice fantastic with regard to aircraft the all much too abundant selections is often absolutely overpowering. Consider it a person phase in a time and luxuriate in the expertise simply because to the Sim supporter it truly is regarding genuine flight mainly because it will come.


Valentine's Day... I got up at 6:00 AM and headed to JFK for a
Jet Blue flight to Burbank
i got to JFK around 7 and got to the gate around 8, but they started
having delays because of the snow... at 8:30 they shut down
the runway and instantly almost all the flights except mine got
canceled, the reason mine didn't get canceled was because the
plane was already there with the bags on it and ready to fly, so the
figured when the runway opened the plane would take off...
Sometime around 3:00PM I found Pensyl drinking at the bar!
At around 5PM they opened the runway back up and the announced my
flight was going to board and leave.
But, what really sucks is they sent out 2 Burbank flights before
mine that weren't even late, and they made it to California...
but our flight didn't have a crew or something... so we we waited for
them to show up...
then we got on the plane and waited to get de-iced... but the
line was taking too long
I guess it takes an hour per plane to get all the ice off.
So we went back to the gate to get more fuel and a new pilot because of
union rules about working to long.
Then at about midnight the decided to cancel all remaining Jeblue
flights and let us off the plane.
Then I had to wait at baggage claim with all the people from all the
flights... like thousands of people.
and wait for them to bring out the bags from my plane, but they were so
backed up that took hours...
I finally got my bag at 2AM and took a cab home....
after 19 hours at the airport I was back where I started... it's
valentine's day and I'm catatonic

Air and Space eLearning Voice Over
Aerospace and Aviation eLearning Voice Over
At the core of eLearning programs in the aviation industry are Learning Management Systems. Defense organization and airlines around the world utilize eLearning to train engineers and their staff. Voice over in aviation eLearning is used in:
Collaboration systems (CRM, HR, Finance)
Simulation training programs.
But in no way is voice over in aviation limited to the above.
eLearning Aviation Voice Over Programs
As globalization ensued during the late 1900's, airspace congestion increased and cockpit technology became more sophisticated and complicated creating a need for performance-based eLearning in the aviation industry. Aviation personnel need skills for quick decision making, conflict resolution, deal with complex unforeseen problems and of course managing flight in all possible situations. A voice over in a performance based learning module needs to be firm, knowledgeable, and have a tone of seriousness to convey the importance of the material, and I have done countless voice overs for such eLearning.
Learning Technologies in Aviation
The airline industry in particular is eager to use the best eLearning technologies and methods in keeping their workforce up-to-date with standards. The needs of aviation eLearning often revolve around improved communications, security, passenger convenience and improved operational performance. Round the clock operations, widespread and diverse workforce and job descriptions require a flexible and powerful eLearning and development environment, often requiring a strong aviation eLearning voice over. Learning solutions offer a variety of low-budget operational and performance programs that sell quickly and receive positive responses. In need of a strong aviation voice over? Look no further.
Aerospace Voice Over | Elearning Development
Flight Simulation | Training flight crew and pilots
Flight simulation eLearning voice over objectives focus on clearly articulating the various parts and features of a cockpit and its functions. Often using an effective eLearning voice over in this situation means selecting a dynamic voice that can stress the importance of each function to improve memorization and retention of the user.
Scenario Based Training
Scenario based eLearning voice over has become vastly more important over the years as the need for real-world scenarios increases in the industry. For example, eLearning avatars are used for customer service, airport or aircraft backgrounds to illustrate a real problem that needs to be resolved; the voice over in these avatars needs to be extremely realistic and the acting skills superb to achieve the interactive features needed for aviation personnel. Conversational and realistic aviation voice over work can vastly improve the cognition and recall of aviation employees as it provides the missing social context needed in aviation eLearning. Research has shown that eLearning outcomes using realistic aviation voice overs in Avatar characters improves learning objectives.
Safety Management Systems (SMS)
A popular eLearning feature in aviation voice overs is content involving health and safety regulations, safety checks and performance protocols that keep staff warned and informed. This is more favorable than being under-equipped to decide for everyday issues that may arise in a dynamic work environment in the aviation industry.

PARIS — An Air France passenger jet traveling from Rio de Janeiro to Paris disappeared after its electrical systems malfunctioned during an electrical storm with heavy turbulence on Sunday evening, and officials said Monday that a search had begun for the wreckage near a small archipelago off the Brazilian coast.
Bob Edme/Associated Press
Air France's chief executive Pierre Henri Gourgeon spoke to reporters at the airline's headquarters, at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport on Monday.
“We are very worried,” said an aviation official in Paris interviewed by Agence France-Presse. “It could be a transponder problem, but this kind of fault is very rare and the plane did not land when expected.”
The plane, an Airbus 330, was carrying 216 passengers and 12 crew members. The passengers were 126 men, 82 women, seven children and one infant. There were nine cabin crew members and three pilots, the airline said.
Four hours after the flight took off at 7 p.m. local time on Sunday, the plane encountered a storm with “very heavy turbulence,” an Air France spokeswoman, Brigitte Barrand, said. The plane disappeared from radar screens four hours and 10 minutes later, 10 minutes after the turbulence was reported.
The plane automatically sent a message informing air traffic control of electrical-system malfunction, Air France officials said in a press conference in Paris. They said there was no further communication.
All jets are built to withstand severe turbulence, especially at upper flying levels, and Ms. Barrand said that the pilot was very experienced, having clocked 11,000 flying hours, including 1,100 hours on Airbus 330 jets. Officials said the plane might have been struck by lightning.
A Brazilian Air Force spokesman said the plane disappeared over the Atlantic near the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha, a 7-square-mile island about 186 miles northeast of the coastal Brazilian city of Natal. Search efforts in the area were under way, the spokesman said, according to The Associated Press.
The plane was scheduled to arrive in Paris at 11:10 a.m. local time. It was operated by Air France and apparently did not share a flight code with Delta Air Lines, the American carrier that shares flights and routes with Air France.
President Nicolas Sarkozy of France expressed grave concern about the missing airliner and sent his transport and environment ministers to the airport to monitor the situation.

Gabriel Pimentel, ABS Managing Director for the South East Asia and Asia Pacific made the comments today during the official presentation of individual operator licenses by the National Information and Communication Technology.
“ABS is a global satellite operator; traditionally we have been providing space segment bandwidth, but we have gone one step further, by not only being a satellite provider but in fact started to develop services on the ground, enabling a cheaper satellite bandwidth we bring which will be passed to the consumers,” Pimentel said.
“We are providing much more competition to the existing (and) established (ISP) providers, and competition always resulted in benefit to the consumers, and in reality we have seen in the markets we have played, the more cost effective services results in more people using these facilities.”
Pimentel said providing ICT services to the rural areas are one of the company’s main objectives.
Meanwhile, NICTA chief executive officer Charles Punaha said, “for NICTA’s perspective, we are fortunate to have an international satellite operator coming into the country.
“It is our hope that it will provide for more competition in the market, and this is something we have been looking forward to for a number of years, and off course will result in the reduction of the current very high satellite bandwidth that has been offered in the market.
“It will result in the reduction on the price,” Punaha said.


For more information regarding Curiosity's design and mission, see here.
You know, I dig this. I'm all about sending rovers and probes to other bodies in the solar system. However, the last generation of space exploration included the mission to put a man on the moon. If we aren't working towards that same goal in respects to Mars, then what is NASA for? Like Dr. Tyson says, "We don't name schools after robots."
Personally, I hope Curiosity saves Spirit. That would be cool.


Generative Sound/Video Installation
Órbitas F compiles information transmitted from the international space station and uses this data to create a generative sound piece influenced by the Tintinnabuli style of the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. The piece is then played simultaneously with the live streaming of a camera aboard the ISS.
The ISS (International Space Station) seems to slowly travel around the earth, when in fact it travels at an average speed of 25,200 km / h. Approximately every 10 hours the station flies over Funza (Latitude: 4.717, Longitude: -74.217); this point is considered the beginning and end of a piece that due to its long duration seems infinite. The piece offers a reflection on the way in which we understand and relate to the passage of time.

This presentation is a simple compilation of some more anomalous photographs and 16mm DAC film footage that I have archived during my years of research and investigation looking into the activities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The images and footage shown here were taken during the Apollo program, filmed by the astronaut flight crews during their journeys to and from the Moon.
Most of what I show here involves “lunar transients” – unidentified objects in space that were captured on film as they transited in front of (or passed near) a celestrial body such as the Moon or Earth. I believe many of these objects are not on the lunar surface, but rather were above the lunar surface when captured on film.
I also include several examples of NASA image obfuscation as well, just to help highlight the fact that the space agency also removes anomalous objects from frame in order to “sanitize” scenes prior to official archive release so as to ensure they do not reveal too much of the truth about what is really up there.


I think half of the appeal of space shuttles to me lies in the fact that they do look just like passenger planes -- except bigger and therefore more awesome. I have always been of the Executor school of thought in terms of Most Awesome Star Wars ships: the more Star Destroyer, the better (insert your own size queen joke here). Similarly, 747s are my favorite airplane. And in fact I can admit to having looked at airplane porn of the modified 747 that carries the space shuttle (whilst thinking "YO DAWG" in all caps).
From Wikipedia. OMG awesome.
But in addition to my own totally platonic feelings about huge airplanes, the space shuttles are just all around amazing. And I'm very sad to be seeing them go. So if you haven't had a chance yet, enjoy watching the video of the shuttle launch and reading about how amazing these craft really are.

Universal Air, a new player in the aviation industry, is set to embark on its inaugural flight on March 26 this year. The Malta-based firm’s CEO, Simon Cook, recently shared insights about the company’s strategic shift with James Cummings.
Previously operating as a charter airline, Universal Air offered cargo runs, expeditionary services, and chartered flights from Malta. Now, the company is eyeing the commercial passenger market, aiming to bring something fresh to the table.
Cook revealed that Universal Air plans to provide a “premium economy service at low-cost prices,” bridging the gap between budget airlines and pricier operators. The company aims to outdo low-cost carriers by offering superior service at competitive prices. One such initiative is the inclusion of a 15 kg checked baggage allowance as standard for all tickets.
Universal Air will soon operate up to three weekly flights to Athens, Corfu, Ibiza, Munich, Palermo, and Pécs (Hungary), with more destinations to be added later this year. The starting price for a one-way ticket to Ibiza will be around €80.
Despite acknowledging the stiff competition, particularly from Ryanair and its subsidiary, Malta Air, Cook is confident that Universal Air’s fleet of newly upgraded Dash 8-400 turboprop planes will provide a competitive edge. These unique, fuel-efficient aircraft, with a seating capacity of 78, allow Universal Air to service smaller, regional airports profitably.
When compared to jet-powered aircraft like Boeing’s 737, Universal Air’s turboprop planes offer comparable speed. They load faster, reach cruising altitude quicker, and cruise at around 320 knots (almost 600 km/h). Passengers are unlikely to notice a significant difference in flight times for routes around two hours.


Mysterious Satellite explodes
By Hugo Manning
ROSE CITY- A strange flying ship was seen over Rose City earlier today. The U.S. government claims to have been conducting a test of a new satellite for monitoring extra-terrestrial activity. Rose City’s team of scientific advisers, Science Hero Academy Quintet, were asked about the satellite. “We, the scientist of S.H.A.Q., cannot verify the claims of the U.S. Government,” said noted robotics expert, Doctor Ivan Atomickolov. “We urge our local and state officials to demand better transparency from our national military and the federal government.”
The flying ship later exploded in the stratosphere. Although Dr. Atomick (Atomickolov) cannot explain why a low-orbit satellite would be combusted, he offered these explanations-
“The fuel used to power such a satellite must have ignited while the machine approached our atmosphere. A space vehicle descending from space, without proper heat shielding, would burn up. Fire from the satellite’s hull could have reached the fuel source.”
Government officials deny the satellite was to be used for the N.S.A. or spying on foreign allies. The U.N. launched a private investigation. If it is found that the satellite was designed for operations other than space exploration, the U.N. will begin proceedings to charge the United States with privacy crimes.
Local real-life superhero, Zetaman, offered an explanation of the craft’s origin. “It was aliens,” proclaimed Zetaman. “Aliens came down and tried to take over the Earth. The Alternates stopped them for good.”
Doctor Atomick and the White House denounced the RLSH’s claims as “ridiculous” and “the theories of a man seeking attention.”

The unmanned aircrafts systems, popular by the name of drones, are becoming one of the biggest innovations from mankind. These tiny flying instruments don’t just fulfill one or two useful jobs.
As a matter of fact, drones are becoming useful for civilian roles like search, rescue, surveillance, monitoring of traffic, drone photography, videography, and so many more interesting fields.
Now you must be thinking that if it is this popular then mere ownership of drones can help users in these key areas. Well, the truth is that because drones are becoming popular, there exist various regulations for the same. Just buying a drone does not give you the right to fly it. Flying a drone without proper registration and license is a punishable offense.
Why do regulations exist for flying drones?
Drones are not exactly like airplanes. So, what is the need to regulate the flying of drones? There are various reasons which have led to the establishment of rules and regulations on drones. Some of these reasons are:
- Sometimes people can create a threat to other’s privacy. Until the time drones were not under regulation, there arose numerous cases of stalking. Stalking using drones became very easy.
- Drones come with different specifications. In order to maintain smooth air traffic, the government established certain rules for flying drones. Drone flying is possible only when it does not cross the height of 400 feet.
- In order to keep a track of income earned from drone photography, videography, and other commercial activities, it is now mandatory to register a drone before flying.
- A major risk arises when the drone owner does not hold a drone pilot certificate. In order to prevent accidents, one must be a certified drone pilot to fly drones in open areas.
Process to get hold of drone pilot certifications:
Now that the reasons behind the existence of drone regulations are clear, it becomes vital to know the complete process of ‘how to become a certified drone pilot’.
A quick search with keywords like, how to become an FAA certified drone pilot or how do I become a certified drone pilot can provide details for the whole process.
Well, because you are now reading this article, you will get all the key information with respect to the process.
Holding a drone pilot certification needs you to go through three main steps. Completion of these steps will give you the license to fly your drone for monetary purposes as well as leisure purposes.
Let’s begin with the details:
Step 1 – Knowledge of rules
– The flying rules for unmanned aircraft systems are constantly evolving. There is addition, deletion and modification in all rules pertaining to drone flying. In order to obtain the certification for drone pilot, you must know all these rules and regulations. One has to be on their toes to update their knowledge regularly. This knowledge is vital for passing the test. Moreover, it helps in proper flying of drones. Drone flying rules also help in preventing accidents. Whatever be the scenario, this step will benefit you in the long run.
Step 2 – Passing the knowledge test
– In order to hold the certificate of drone pilot, the flier must be at least 16 years old. Fliers must read, speak, write and understand the English language. Lastly, physical and mental fitness is another eligibility criteria. All those who are eligible for flying unmanned aircraft systems, then have to clear the knowledge test. Clearly the test is your way to becoming a drone pilot.
The FAA provides complete study material for the knowledge test. Good preparation is the only way to succeed in this test. Now, to appear for the knowledge test, the candidate must obtain a FAA tracking number (FTN). For the same, he or she has to create a profile on Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA). After completing the registration, schedule a test appointment and take the test on the selected date. After passing the test, make sure you complete the FAA Form 8710-13.
Step 3 – Drone registration with FAA –
After clearing the knowledge test and obtaining the certification of drone pilot, the last step is to register the drone with the FAA. In order to register the drone, visit the dronezone.faa.gov website. Drone registration costs just $5 and the validity period for the same is 3 years. Only after completing the drone registration will you be able to utilize the benefit of your drone flying certificate.
Clearly, there is no doubt about the usefulness of drones. If proper knowledge and precautions are taken then this can be the best innovation for the current generation. Today, when various activities are finding their substitutes with high technology instruments, then drones can also help in replacing humans.
Working on getting a certification for drone pilot will prove to be immensely helpful in the long run. Having the certification opens doors for various activities. Entering in the field of photography, videography, surveillance, etc becomes a bit easy. So if you have a keen interest in this field, then now is the time to get your drone pilot certification.

1. Guess what is new trend in fashion for men? Men new style is no more limited to hairstyle, beard and bikes, the curve of imagination has crossed the earth’s atmosphere. Elon Musk’s SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket launch recently had captured not just all-rounded public attention but also the conversations on social media.
2. The complete launch was streamed live, a video clip of the two booster rockets landing in tandem after the successful launch went viral and an iconic launch image of the cherry-red Tesla Roadster that Musk embedded in the capsule of the payload rocket was instantly flashed across the world. What really dazzled the onlookers was the astonishing car that zoomed into the space, without the rolling wheels and an astronaut-suited mannequin posed with its arm hanging out the side! See to believe, Earth looms in the background in a distinguishly large windshield.
3. The mind blowing video images are so impressive that you will have to negate your mind to believe in the world’s first car ever in space that moved seven miles per second toward the asteroid belt. The extreme skillfulness is depicted from the attitude and the language communicated by the team of SpaceX that added stage show of the posed mannequin and a dashboard screen displaying “DON’T PANIC.”
4. The world was actually surprised with the contrast of features that the Universe offers and that has been manufactured by humans. The elongated curves and aerodynamic, semi-organic shape gets overshadowed by the vastness of space, although the immaculate red color of the car completely battles outer the black background.
5. Big question that rose on the Twitter soon after the launch was, is Musk’s space car an art? Only time will tell us whether Musk will be able to fulfill his ambition to create a habitat in outer world, till then we can only appreciate the car’s coherent function that has added a new page into the chapter of communications.


The commercial space economy is here –
and Canada has a central role to play in it.
MDA Space Missions is an international space mission partner and a robotics, satellite systems and geointelligence pioneer with a 50-year story of firsts on and above the Earth. Today, the Canadian company is leading the charge towards viable Moon colonies, enhanced Earth observation, communication in a hyper-connected world, and more.
Mike Greenley, CEO of MDA, met with Ontario Global 100 members to discuss how he leads Canada’s largest, space-focused company and the country’s long history in the space race. Mike compared today’s space discovery to the 1400’s, with the “laws of the sea” very much still in development, as space agencies from over 90 countries and private companies position themselves for galactic expansion. With the cost of rocket launches falling from $18,000 to about $3,000 today, and the prediction that they will fall to as little as $500 per launch, the space-based economy is very real, large and expanding
SPACE TO EARTH SERVICE
Closest to Earth – and the most commercialized – is the satellite sector focused on observation and data gathering. These satellites support activities on Earth, with some offering measurement and analysis up to the closest millimetre (yes, 1 mm!). This sector is pegged at $18 billion (USD) annually. With roughly 6,000 satellites currently orbiting the Earth, Mike predicts that number will jump to 30,000 by 2030, and by the mid 2030’s we’ll have 50,000 satellites fighting for space in space.
Space junk is a real issue; of the 6,000 satellites today, only half are considered active. With the increasing density, comes the burgeoning sector of management and maintenance of satellites. Work is underway that would allow for improvement to logistics and repositioning of satellites, as well as refueling, in situ, of these orbiting units.
LOW EARTH ORBIT NETWORKS
The low Earth orbit network of satellites has the sole focus of providing high-band width internet for communication needs on Earth. With the World Health Organization’s recent declaration that access to the internet is a human right, it will be this space-based network that delivers on that promise. This $15 billion sector is feeding the need for 5G, back haul, front haul and Internet of Things (IoT), with some large corporations already moving into proprietary space-based networks.
ON-ORBIT ASSEMBLY AND MANUFACTURING
At present, satellites are limited in size to the dimension of the nose cone of its rocket. On-orbit assembly envisions separate pieces of the satellite being sent to space where assembly takes place once in orbit. One step further is the possibility of manufacturing parts in space. The concept of anti-gravity manufacturing has shown significant improvements in fibre optic capacity and could have application for returning satellites to Earth.
In the coming years, space tourism is predicted to be a billion-dollar sector. Space travel will be offered by the hour or by day giving consumers the options of a few minutes in anti-gravity or a long trip to visit a space station. Construction is already underway for the first commercial space station (axiomspace.com).
