Hypersonic strike: China demonstrates FOBS technology. Debris removal as a dual-use capability. Cybersecurity and space systems. Commercial launch demonstrations. Commercial space stations? Space Force and acquisition reform. Space Force notes. Hypersonic strike and (maybe) even a "Sputnik moment." On September 20th US Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall took the occasion of his keynote address to the Air Force Association to warn that China might be developing a capability to deliver "global strikes from space." Subsequent questions revealed that he had in mind a fractional orbital bombardment system (FOBS, to revive the Cold War acronym), and also that he disclaimed any specific knowledge of any particular Chinese system under development. Breaking Defense, in its coverage of the address, spoke to a number of outside experts who were uniformly skeptical of Secretary Kendall's warning. But it's turned out that the Secretary was right. Not only is China developing such systems, but it actually tested one, and back in August at that. The Washington Post and others reported that China has tested a hypersonic vehicle capable of performing as a fractional orbital bombardment system able to deliver nuclear weapons. The US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark A. Milley, said last week in a Bloomberg interview that, "I don’t know if it’s quite a Sputnik moment, but I think it’s very close to that. It has all of our attention.” Some observers thought "Sputnik moment" overheated. An essay in Foreign Policycalls the tests "bad news, but not a significant breakthrough." A piece in World Policy Review argues that the phrase is likelier to darken counsel by inducing panicky reactions than it is to serve as a useful moment of clarity. It shows that China has developed some surprising technological prowess, and thereby improved its own deterrent position, but such back-and-forth is to be expected in great power competition. In fairness to General Milley, the Sputnik metaphor wasn't his own; he was reacting to statements by others who'd characterized it as such. A hypersonic FOBS is worrisome for a number of reasons. It presents a novel attack phenomenology, for one thing. It could, for example, deliver a weapon over the South Pole as opposed to the North Pole trajectories most US missile defense sensors have traditionally been deployed to detect. It would fly a flatter trajectory than a ballistic missile, would be significantly faster than other strategic threats, and, finally, would be maneuverable. All of these characteristics complicate the missile defense problem, and so the hypersonic threat is one to be taken seriously. An op-ed in TheHill asks, rhetorically, who should be in charge of the US response to this threat, and answers "Space Force." The author argues that the new Service should be tasked with developing and deploying a boost-phase detection and intercept system capable of stopping such weapons in the early stages of their flight. In-orbit conflict, and debris removal as a dual-use capability. Breaking Defense reviews ways in which China, Russia, and the US are working to hold one another's satellites at risk, and to defend their own against the competition's efforts. The work involves improved ways of tracking, monitoring, and approaching satellites. All three of the leading space powers are working, to varying extents, on all three. Some of those capabilities are inherently dual-use. Space debris has become a growing concern insofar as clutter not only promises to make human spaceflight marginally more dangerous, but to put orbital systems generally at risk. A number of programs are in progress to develop a capability to capture and deorbit debris. Those technologies, of course, are inherently dual-use. Any ability to maneuver alongside an object in orbit and capture it could be used against an adversary's satellites as easily as it could be used against unwanted junk. Space.com reports that on October 23rd a Long March 3b put a developmental debris-removal satellite into orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The satellite's mission is to test "space debris mitigation technology." The UK is also looking into orbital debris removal: Via Satellite reports that Astroscale has been selected to lead this British development and demonstration mission. As low earth orbit grows increasingly crowded, debris and satellite deconfliction aren't the only problems. WIRED writes that new constellations comprising large numbers of small satellites are already producing enough light pollution to have an effect on astronomy. Space.com also discusses the problem, and sees "no easy fix." Cybersecurity and space systems. Threats to space systems are as likely to be cyber as they are kinetic, and governments increasingly recognize this. Space News reports that the US National Reconnaissance Office, as it moves toward increased use of commercial imagery, has established cybersecurity standards providers must meet if they wish to do business with the NRO. (For an industry perspective on cybersecurity for space systems, see this overview of the challenges and recommendations for appropriate response recently published by Booz Allen Hamilton.) Space systems are generally recognized as making essential contributions to a range of critical infrastructures, and US policies designed to improve the security and resilience of such infrastructures in the face of continuous, pervasive, and growing cyber threats will have their effect on the space sector as well. US National Cyber Director Chris Inglis told Via Satellite that he hoped effective information sharing and measures designed to avoid mutual interference among the sixteen critical infrastructure sectors would serve the best interests of space operations. Commercial launch demonstrations. This month's high-profile commercial space travel demonstration came courtesy of Blue Origin, whose New Shepard carried a crew of four civilian passengers on a suborbital round trip from Texas to the Karman Line and back. The October 13th flight carried William Shatner, the actor who created the role of Captain Kirk in Star Trek, and who became, at the age of 90, the oldest person to fly into space. Mr. Shatner described himself, Space.com writes, as being "moved to tears" by the experience. Blue Origin received congratulations on its flight from the founder of its competitor SpaceX: Business Insider reports that Elon Musk told Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos that sending Mr. Shatner up and returning him safely to Texas was "cool." SpaceX plans its next crewed orbital flight, originally scheduled to go up on Halloween, for this month. The company also begun ground tests of its Tintinesque Starship Super Heavy, the vehicle it sees as its "Gateway to Mars." Other competitors are working on their technology. Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic thinks it will resume crewed flights in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Wall Street Journal reports. And Boeing continues to work through valve issues in its Starliner, which it now believes may have been exacerbated by its Florida launch site's warm, humid climate. The company has slipped its launch for NASA into 2022. Commercial space stations? Blue Origin is also working on a commercial space station. TheHill reports that the company's Orbital Reef will serve as a “mixed use business park.” Blue Originhopes, with its partner Sierra Space, to put the Orbital Reef up between 2025 and 2030. Space Force and acquisition reform. Making the US Defense acquisition system less sclerotic and better able to field new technology quickly and affordably has long been regarded as a challenge, and Space Force set itself a goal of designing its procurement processes to avoid some of the friction and rigidity it would otherwise inherit from its parent services. Breaking Defense surveys the field and gives Space Force mixed reviews, seeing some successes and some failures. In general, industry gave the new Service poorer reviews on its efforts for reform than did Defense Department respondents. Some of that disparity may be accounted for by the space industry's sense, as revealed by an Aerospace Corporation survey, that industry remains encumbered by a confusing, even contradictory, regulatory burden. In fairness to Space Force, that regulatory burden is not being imposed by the most junior Service, but it's part of the environment with which it must contend. Other Space Force notes. The US House Intelligence Committee has approved giving Space Force its own intelligence center, Breaking Defense reports. What sort of reserve component Space Force will get remains undecided, with Congress and the White House taking markedly different views on the matter. Congress, Politico says, is inclined toward the creation of a Space National Guard, but the White House doesn't like that idea at all. The US Navy seems largely to have given up its organizational space equities to the youngest Service (although obviously the Navy will retain its operational dependence upon space systems). The US Army, in contrast, intends to hang onto its own Space Brigade, Air Force Magazine reports. While a number of Army personnel and assets have been transitioned to Space Force, the 1st Space Brigade will stay put. The Army believes it essential to retain that capability. And, of course, Space Force is trying to get out from under the shadow of the Air Force. Today's edition of the CyberWire reports events affecting . Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities 'Global Strike From Space;' Did Kendall Reveal Chinese Threat?(Breaking Defense) WASHINGTON: When Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall used his Sept. 20 keynote speech at the annual Air Force Association conference to claim that China is developing the ability to launch “global strikes from space” against US targets, it raised more than a few eyebrows and sent military analysts scrambling. After all, the decision to bring up… Don’t Turn China’s Hypersonic Missile Test Into a ‘Sputnik Moment’(World Politics Career) The recent Financial Times report that China tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic weapon has pundits, generals and members of Congress worried about a “Sputnik moment.” This is indeed something U.S. leaders should labor to avoid—not because it represents a new security threat, but because it implies undue panic.

China's Shenzhou-9 manned spacecraft may have to rocket through an array of hazardous and potentially lethal weather conditions this summer as it nears its launch, experts said Monday. The spacecraft is scheduled for launch in mid-June to perform the first manned space docking mission with the orbiting Tiangong-1 space lab module. Li Dongxing, head of the meteorology office at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, said thunder will pose the greatest hazard for the ship, as well as heavy winds, precipitation and electric fields. Meteorological statistics from the last 30 years show that thunder occurs near the launch center at an average frequency of 2.6 times a month during the summer, with almost no thunder in autumn and winter. "Although extreme weather does not happen frequently, it can lead to disastrous results if it does happen," Li said. With the help of advanced surveillance and data analysis technology, nearly 30 weather forecasters are doing their best to make precise forecasts for the craft's launch window, Li said. Extreme temperatures will also pose a danger to the craft, as the ship's propellant could vaporize or solidify in excessively high or low temperatures. Experts working on the ship's propulsion system said the propellant will be stored in cool rooms before the ship is fueled, adding that the propellant's temperature is not likely to fluctuate after it is pumped into the rocket. Various methods have been employed in the past to regulate rocket temperatures. Before the launch of the Fengyun-2 satellite in June 1997, experts applied cold compresses to the satellite's Long March-3 carrier rocket to cool it down after it experienced a surge in temperature at southwest China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center. Before the launch of the Shenzhou-4 spacecraft on Dec 30, 2002, cotton quilts were used to keep the rocket warm, as temperatures fell to negative 29 degrees Celsius that evening.

ESA PR 14-2008. Arianespace and the European Space Agency confirm today that the launch of Jules Verne, the first Automated Transfer Vehicle, is delayed 24 hours due to a technical concern about the ATV/Ariane 5 launcher separation system. During the last validation step for the device which separates the 20-tonne European spacecraft from its launcher, a potential problem was identified with the fitting of the grounding straps located in the separation system. Today, after removal of the Ariane 5 fairing, this item will be checked again, consistent as always with the conservative and precautionary approach taken by ESA to its missions. In order to maintain safe margins for the countdown, ESA and Arianespace decided to postpone the launch by one day. The Jules Verne launch is rescheduled for 00:59 Kourou time, 03:59 UTC, 04:59 CET on Sunday 9 March 2008. ESA’s Jules Verne ATV will re-supply the International Space Station, delivering experiments, equipment and spare parts, as well as food, air and water for the permanent onboard crew.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has received a program from the U.S. Space Force to design and develop an innovative, low SWaP, high-pulse energy, high-average power UV Rayleigh beacon. The U.S. Space Force seeks to enhance the coverage of the nation’s Space Surveillance Network with smaller, perhaps mobile, optical telescopes. It seeks to do so by developing key components for these smaller telescopes that will preserve operational performance. Although atmospheric turbulence can limit the performance of ground-based telescopes, laser beacons are an established technique to overcome the adverse effects of turbulence. There is a need for a UV Rayleigh laser beacon for military purposes that will enable the desired performance for a compact optical telescope. PSI’s approach will result in a high-power ultra-violet (UV) Rayleigh beacon laser for ground-based optical telescopes. This system will be superior to current commercially available alternatives. It has dual-use applications for astronomical observations or space situational awareness providing improved tracking and imaging of satellites and celestial objects. More broadly, high pulse energy, nanosecond lasers are extensively used in numerous industrial, scientific and military applications such as mine hunting and target illumination.

NASA’S JPL TO SEND MARTIAN PROBE TO MAP THE INSIDES OF THE ... Mr. R.P. spotted this article and passed it along, and it fits with our space-focus of yesterday and today. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory plans to send a probe to Mars whose purpose is to map the insides of the planet: Of course, we're given the usual "this-is-all-about-pure-science" meme: A JPL news release Wednesday said InSight will use the seismic waves generated by marsquakes (quakes on Mars) to map the deep interior of the planet. These waves travel through geologic materials at different speeds and reflect off boundaries, giving scientists a glimpse of the composition and structure of the planet’s interior. They reflect the initial formation of the planet, and the resulting insights into how Mars formed should help scientists better understand how other rocky planets are created, including our own Earth. “The inside of Mars is really a vault that’s storing all of this evidence from the early solar system,” Banerdt tells KPCC. “So, by going and mapping out the inside of Mars, we’re really kind of going back in time, like a time machine, to the earliest stages of the solar system formation so that we can actually understand how our planet got here.” But as one might imagine, when I saw this article, my suspicion meter shot into the red zone, because besides the usual blather about "pure science" and "geological time machines" and learning "the early history of the solar system," the article said nothing whatsoever about where on the Martian surface this probe will be conducting its "pure science". NASA's own website about InSight is equally less-than-forthcoming about the mission: There we're told that the landing site is simply "the plains of Mars", which is about as helpful as saying that the probe will be landing somewhere in that planet's northern hemisphere. But a clue is perhaps afforded by the fact that the rocket launching the probe was constructed by two major American defense contractors, but notably, there's zero information on the probe itself: InSight will launch from Launch Complex 3 and ride atop an Atlas V-401 rocket provided by United Launch Alliance, Centennial Colorado, a joint venture of Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. As one can imagine, this lack of any specific information about landing area, who built the probe, plus the presence of two major American defense contractors in the mix, has me entertaining all sorts of interplanetary high octane speculations. And the "pure science" explanations are not part of my high octane speculations for the simple reason that I'm not buying them. After all, for a certain segment of this alternative research community - myself included - NASA stands for "Never A Straight Answer." My problem stems from the fact that one can find intriguing pictures both from Soviet and from American Martian probes that seem to indicate the presence of regular and repeating rectilinearity in certain places on Mars, beneath the surface. Such geometrical features can be an indicator of artificiality and therefore of intelligent origins. Indeed, the Soviets' Phobos 2 Martian probe took some rather thought-provoking images suggestive of subsurface structure (see Richard Hoagland's review of some of these suggestive pictures at Lost CIties of Barsoom). All of this is, of course, suggestive, but not compulsive. What would settle this issue is going there, and mapping such structures (if any). And that, quite frankly, is what I suspect is going on here. But don't expect any straight answers... See you on the flip side...

A new In-Flight Sound Effect album is released. This time we flew from Tokyo to Detroit in a brand new Airbus 350-900. It’s about a 12 hours flight with around 6300 miles and if you ask me about sitting that long in an aircraft, I have no problem anymore sitting that long in a plane! I think the longest flight we took was 14 hours from Doha to Atlanta if I am correct. I am not the biggest fan of flying but if you sit in such a new aircraft I am not scared at all. We came to Detroit without any complications, turbulence or other issues. Just a perfect flight and I did several recordings that you can download directly from my Bandcamp account! If you have access to the Sync cloud you will find the same album in the Bandcamp category! The album included 10 tracks. The bitrate is 96/24 so make sure to check out with WAV. What aircraft sounds are in this album? -driving to the runway! Nice rumbling -amazing engine Boost by new Rolls Royce engines and take off Sound 3 and 4 -of course, we have a toilet flush sound effects included – landing modus, wings adjusting – aircraft room tone before landing -landing modus, wings and wheels coming out -amazing touchdown in Detroit landing field with some really cool rumble sounds and full engine break -landed, crew announcement in English -landed, crew announcement in Japanese …and now I invite you to download volume three of my On Board In-Flight Aircraft Sound Effect series from my Bandcamp account!

Proceed studying under, or hear: The nomination will now should be confirmed by vote of the total Senate. Drone trade advocacy teams have vocalized their robust assist of Whitaker’s nomination and urged swift motion on a vote. The place of FAA Administrator, a vital management function, has been crammed by a collection of performing directors since former FAA Administrator Steve Dickson resigned halfway via his 5 yr time period in March of 2022. U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, mentioned in an announcement earlier than the vote: “Mr. Whitaker is very certified with greater than 30 years of aviation expertise in each the private and non-private sectors. Key roles embody serving as FAA Deputy Administrator from 2013 to 2016, the place he helped advance technological enhancements to the Nationwide Airspace System, and the transition to the satellite-enabled surveillance expertise – ABS-B. That is vital NextGen expertise that I believe helps us improve our aviation system. He additionally served in main management roles at airways and aviation expertise firms. His nomination has attracted bipartisan assist and broad settlement throughout the aviation group.” “The Industrial Drone Alliance is grateful that the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation right now unanimously voted Michael Whitaker out of Committee as the following FAA Administrator.

To fulfill the challenges and alternatives of this new aviation period, the FAA wants a Senate-confirmed Administrator,” mentioned President and CEO Brian Wynne. As he demonstrated at his nomination listening to, Mike Whitaker’s aviation expertise and imaginative and prescient for the FAA make him a powerful alternative for the management function. AUVSI urges Senate management to deliver Mr. Whitaker’s nomination for a flooring vote at once, and we urge Senators on each side of the aisle to vote in favor of his nomination.” NATE, The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Affiliation, additionally issued an announcement of assist. “NATE welcomes right now’s information advancing Michael Whitaker’s nomination via the committee course of,” mentioned President & CEO Todd Schlekeway. “NATE collaborates with the FAA carefully on points starting from company tower web site assessment timelines, tower web site obstruction lighting and marking necessities, the development of economic drone utilization, and member contractor onboarding processes for firms who do work with the company. The Affiliation encourages the total U.S. Senate to vote on Mr. Whitaker’s nomination promptly to fill this present void in management on the company,” added Schlekeway. Whereas a 5 yr appointment of FAA Administrator can be a welcome step for the company and assist to maneuver stalled tasks ahead, the FAA nonetheless lacks a 5 yr funding invoice.

The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a bill Sept. 26 that would give $22.75 billion for NASA, but expressed some frustration about the lack of details in the agency’s plans to return humans to the moon. A Senate appropriations subcommittee approved a spending bill Sept. 24 that would provide $22.75 billion for NASA in fiscal year 2020, including much, but not all, of what the agency sought in additional funding for the Artemis program. Senate appropriators add $22M for small launch, approve Space Force and Space Development Agency requests The $22 million for Tactically Responsive Space Launch was added to the Air Force’s Research, Development, Test and Evaluation account. Air Force nominee Barrett calls for assertive U.S. posture on space, says Space Force is a ‘key imperative’ Barrett voiced strong support for the Trump administration’s proposal to establish a Space Force. Senate defense appropriators support DoD space request, propose ‘tactical responsive launch’ program The SAC-D fully funded the $1.2 billion request for the National Security Space Launch program. NASA’s inspector general says the agency could save nearly $1 billion if Congress gives it the ability to choose the best launch vehicle for a mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa, rather than mandating the use of the Space Launch System. Sen. Jack Reed: “I think within a year, next year at this time, we’ll have a Space Force." The chairman of a key Senate committee said he’s “troubled” by cost and schedule growth on major NASA programs and is asking the agency for more information on their status. In September, SASC plans to consider additional DoD civilian and military nominations. SASC Chairman Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) said the committee conducted its own probe and concluded the allegations were “unproven.” While the United States has the advanced technology and capable workforce it would need for further space exploration, it lacks the focus and prioritization that assured the success of the Apollo program, Apollo flight director Gene Kranz told Senators July 9. Senators are taking a new approach to winning passage of a commercial space bill, offering it as an amendment to a defense authorization bill. The SASC is trying to hold the Air Force more accountable for the performance of space acquisition programs. Sen. Jack Reed: “An issue that will be paramount for both of you is Space Command’s relationship with the NRO." The SASC bill makes the commander of Air Force Space Command also the commander of the U.S. Space Force for the first year.

While NASA’s climate science future may be unclear, Europe is in the midst of upgrading its earth observation capabilities. The European Space Agency (ESA) is in the process of launching a series of new satellites to intensify the continent’s environmental monitoring capacity. Incoming US president Donald Trump has indicated he may cut America’s earth observation programmes, but the European Union says its own satellites are a real game changer. At Europe’s spaceport in French Guiana, the EU’s latest satellite is being prepared for liftoff. An Italian Vega rocket is scheduled to put the device into orbit on 6 March. — Copernicus EU (@CopernicusEU) January 8, 2017 The Sentinel satellite will join the four European earth observation satellites already brought into orbit following consecutive launches since 2014. The full Sentinel constellation, operated by the European Commission, is expected to be completed in 2021 and will provide a wealth of climate change data. The satellite to be launched in March promises unprecedented views of Earth. ESA says it will expand on the popular French Spot and American Landsat satellite projects, originally launched in the seventies and eighties of the previous century. Named Sentinel-2b, the car-sized satellite will add a combination of high resolution and new spectral capabilities to Europe’s earth observation fleet and will provide crucial data on the state of the world’s vegetation and forests, as well as information about pollution in lakes and oceans. The satellite will also monitor glaciers, sea ice and snow cover. — Thomas Pesquet (@Thom_astro) January 8, 2017 Together with its identical twin Sentinel-2a, launched in 2015, the new satellite will cover the entire world every five days. The two satellites have been designed with the agricultural and forestry sectors in mind as key data users. But aside from monitoring plant growth and forest health, the satellite’s images of floods, volcano eruptions, forest fires and landslides are expected to help humanitarian relief efforts. — Copernicus EU (@CopernicusEU) December 18, 2016 More Data Than Facebook The Sentinel satellites send their land, ocean and atmospheric data and imagery to the European Union’s Copernicus earth observation programme. More Sentinel data is downloaded every day than is uploaded to Facebook in the form of photos, according to ESA. Finalised in the Netherlands at the European Space Research and Technology Centre, the Sentinel-2b satellite is the product of collaboration across the continent. “It’s a European satellite, built by more than 60 contractors from 15 countries,” Michael Menking from Airbus, the primary contractor leading the industrial consortium, told ESA. Almost half of the companies involved are small- or medium-sized. — ESA EarthObservation (@ESA_EO) November 15, 2016 Free And Open Data Policy The Sentinel programme consists of six missions of two satellites each. The weather-monitoring Sentinel-1 mission has been fully operational since last year and the first of two Sentinel-3 climate and ocean monitoring satellites was also put into orbit in 2016. Additional satellite launches over the next five years will focus on providing more atmospheric and sea-level monitoring data to the Copernicus programme. The European Union says it wants to make it easier for innovative companies and start-ups to access space data. Last year, it was announced that Copernicus is teaming up with Climate-KIC, the European Union’s climate innovation initiative, to accelerate the use of its data in creating climate change solutions. “The free and open data policy is one of the key achievements of Copernicus, and is also the key to its success,” Andras Roboz of the European Commission’s Copernicus unit told ESA. — Copernicus EU (@CopernicusEU) May 1, 2016

A Virgin Atlantic flight headed to London from New York City was diverted to Boston after a small fire broke out in the first class cabin Thursday night. The flight had 217 passengers, and all of them were safely evacuated after the emergency landing. It’s speculated that the flames started from a passenger seat that had an electrical malfunction. Passengers smelled smoke coming from the first class cabin “not even 30 minutes” after the plane departed John F. Kennedy International Airport around 7:30pm, Cory Tanner a passenger aboard the flight said. Tanner added that a flight attendant told him the smoke was from a TV unit that caught fire in the first class cabin. The crew announced the aircraft would make an emergency landing in Boston’s Logan International Airport. In a statement, Virgin Atlantic Airways said an incident aboard the flight led to the plane being diverted as a precaution. It did not provide any details on the cause of the fire. “Our cabin crew are trained to a high standard and acted quickly to deal with this situation,” the airline statement said. Source : Various

Apollo 18: Secret Moon Mission Conspiracy Theories By Gene Byrd Sep 4, 2011 Apollo 18 is in theaters, and the film has already sparked several new conspiracy theories aimed at NASA and the US Government's secrecy. "Decades-old found footage from NASA's abandoned Apollo 18 mission, where two American astronauts were sent on a secret expedition, reveals the reason the U.S. has never returned to the moon," reads the movie's official tagline. According to Space.Com, "the studio has been pushing the "reality" aspect of the film, going so far as to offer up a "famous scientist and researcher of UFO phenomena," Stanton Friedman, for interviews." In real life (or so the US Government would have you believe) Apollo 18, along with 19 and 20, was canceled — Apollo 17 was NASA's final lunar mission. Friedman said in press materials, "People ask why was there no Apollo 18 mission...I ask, what happened to Apollo 18 and Apollo 19? They were both paid for and astronauts were trained. What happened to these missions?" So - is there any chance a division of government could have blasted a rocket into space without knowledge of media or the US citizens? The film is counting on you believing it. A Department of Defense spokesperson says don't look to them to blame. They took part in no Apollo 18 mission. DoD spokeswoman April Cunningham wrote in an email to Fox News, "The Department of Defense has not launched a manned mission to space." More details on the conspiracy theories here from Space.Com.

Apart from the flaperon wreckage found on Reunion Island there hasn’t been much mentioned about doomed Malaysia Airlines flight MH-370. I thought that we might get at least some answers, but as usual the mainstream media just serve to muddy the waters and drag things out encouraging loss of interest. I am positive however that the parents, husbands, wives and kids of the victims onboard the tragic flight will never lose interest. In matters as these, with all the smoke and mirrors of political/media manipulation, it serves to keep an open mind and to look at all the possible causes and outcomes. Until I read the research of Dr. Gaurav Pradhan (shown below) I hadn’t heard of this theory. So remember to let go of all preconceptions, read all his research and draw your own conclusions. Research of Dr. Gaurav Pradhan The Americans are withdrawing from Afghanistan, one of their command and control system’s (used for controlling the pilotless drones) was hijacked by Taliban. When American transport convoy was moving down from one of the hill top bases. The Taliban ambushed the convoy and killed 2 American Seal personnel, seized the equipment/weapons, including the command and control system, which weighed about 20 tons packed into 6 crates. This happened about a month ago in Feb 2014. The Taliban objective was to generate money as they were in need of, which is a well-known fact. They want to sell the system to Russia or China. Never forget China is Pakistan’s military partner & has a good friendship with ISI. It is also a well-reported fact that ISI support The Taliban both in terms of politics and arms. They also gave Pakistan nuclear capable missiles. This is also a widely reported fact. Unfortunately, Russia are too busy in Ukraine, and China are hungry for control system technology. Just imagine if the Chinese master the technology behind the command and control system, all American drones will become useless helping Taliban, Pakistan and other countries where US has conflict or Al Qaida presence. So Chinese sent 8 top defence scientists to check the system and agreed to pay millions for it. Remember out of 20 scientist killed 8 were Chinese working for Freespace, a company involved in defence technology. It is also interesting to note that Freescale Company is a spin off of Motorola, a well know company in defence technology & communication. Sometime in early Mar 2014, the 8 scientists and the 6 crates made their way to Malaysia, thinking that it was the best covert way to avoid detection. The cargo was then kept in the Embassy under diplomatic protection. Meanwhile the American has engaged the assistance of Israeli intelligence, and together they are determined to intercept and recapture the cargo. The Chinese calculated that it would be safe to transport it via civilian aircraft so as to avoid suspicion. After all direct flight from KL to Beijing takes only 4 and half hours, and American will not hijack or harm the civilian. So MH370 is the perfect carrier. Don’t forget that US has a radar station in Indian Ocean. There were 5 American and Israeli agents onboard who are familiar with Boeing operation. The 2 “Iranians” with stolen passports could be among them. However Israeli passengers are not in list of passengers but this is can be very easily manipulated since the design was that no passengers would be every found. When MH370 is about to leave the Malaysian air space and reporting to Vietnamese air control, one American AWAC jammed their signal, here comes the role of EW, disabled the pilot control system and switched over to remote control mode. That was when the plane suddenly lost altitude momentarily. How the AWAC can do it? Remember 9/11 incidents? After 9/11, all Boeing aircraft (and possibly all Airbus) are installed with remote control system to counter terrorist hijacking. MH370 was a new generation Boeing 777. Since then all Boeing planes could be remote controlled by ground control tower. The same remote control system used to control the pilotless spy aircraft and drones. The onboard American & Israeli agents soon took over the plane, switched off the transponder and other communication system, changed course and flew westwards. It is well documented that the Aircraft few many miles after equipment shut down & these communication system were shut before changing the flight path to west. They dare not fly east to Philippines or Guam because the whole South China Sea air space was covered by Chinese surveillance radar and satellite. The Malaysian, Thai and Indian military radars actually detected the unidentified aircraft but did not react. It’s a standard practice that if a passenger aircraft is flying steady, the command centre generally let it go without asking to identify itself. The plane flew over North Sumatra, Anambas, South India and then landed at Maldives where some villagers saw the aircraft landing. During the flight the Aircraft kept sending pings which were emitted from engine. It is to be noted that the Aircraft landed in Maldives with lights switched off at 6:15am. This landing theory was challenged as it was dark but when the sunrise time was checked, that came out to be 6:15AM. The Aircraft was refuelled and continued its flight to Garcia Diego, the Top Secret American Air Base like area 51 in US in the middle of Indian Ocean and here is the proof…. The cargo and the black box were removed. The passengers were silenced via natural means, lack of oxygen. They believe only dead person will not talk. The MH370 with dead passengers were air borne again via remote control and soft landing crashed into South Indian Ocean, make it to believe that the plane eventually ran out of fuel and crashed, and blame the defiant captain and co-pilot. I hope you remember that in aviation history a plane was landed successfully in Hudson River with breaking into pieces. I believe when the plane took off from US Air Base, the doors were removed since no pressurisation of cabin was required so that it can sink fast in sea and I also believe that the seat belts were put on the bodies so that they sink with aircraft eliminating any chance of floating in sea. This question can only be answered if we find the plane and someone can go down 4 km on sea bed. The question which comes to mind is that US could have planted a bomb and made it an act of terror but in that case the problem was human bodies which could have been floating in sea and on postmortem the cause of death could be identified. The American has put up a good show. First diverting all the attention and search effort in the South China Sea while the plane made their way to Indian Ocean. Then they came out with some conflicting statement and evidence to confuse the world. The Australian could be the co-actor since they identified some derbies but later denied. Their may be another possibility that after few months or may be a year when all evidence of passengers killed get destroyed, someone can use highly sophisticated explosives in the sunk plane & we may witness some or lot of debris suddenly floating on sea surface. This will eliminate any doubt that MH370 sinking was a planned activity. The amount of effort put up by China, in terms of the number of search aircraft, ships and satellites, first the South China Sea, then the Malacca Straits and the Indian Ocean is unprecedented. Even in case of Air France crash, this scale of satellites were not used. Very interesting to note that 3 Americans are reported dead but the US response was lukewarm. This showed that the China is very concerned, not so much because of many Chinese civilian passengers, but mainly the high value cargo and its 8 top defence scientists. “Also on the plane were 20 staff members from a US technology company, Freescale Semiconductor, which makes powerful microchips for industries, including defence. Twelve employees were from Malaysia and eight were from China. The company said it was “deeply saddened” by the news” “Most air forces use ECM to protect their aircraft from attack. It has also been deployed by military ships and recently on some advanced tanks to fool laser/IR guided missiles. It is frequently coupled with stealth advances so that the ECM systems have an easier job. Offensive ECM often takes the form of jamming. Defensive ECM includes using blip enhancement and jamming of missile terminal homers.” Freescale confirmed yesterday that of the 239 passengers on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, 20 are employed by the leading edge electronic company: twelve from Malaysia and eight from China. “Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL) is a global leader in embedded processing solutions, providing industry leading products that are advancing the automotive, consumer, industrial and networking markets,” the company says on its website and in its statement today. ”… our technologies are the foundation for the innovations that make our world greener, safer, healthier and more connected.” Freescale says its “key applications and end-markets include: automotive safety,hybrid and all-electric vehicles, next generation wireless infrastructure, smart energy management, portable medical devices, consumer appliances and smart mobile devices. The company is based in Austin, Texas, and has design, research and development, manufacturing and sales operations around the world. Freescale’s commercial products meet requirements of applications such as: - Battlefield communications - HF through L- and S-Band radar - Missile guidance - Electronic warfare - Identification, friend or foe (IFF) MAY THE SOUL OF ALL REST IN PEACE & MAY GOD PROVIDE STRENGTH TO FAMILIES STILL WAITING FOR THE LOVED ONES…….. APRIL 18, 2014 Following two links give boost to my theory on #MH370 April 14, 2014 AnonymousApril 14, 2014 at 6:07 PM I think that after watching the developments of the search for the missing MH370, that either a group of people or the cargo on that plane was never meant to reach its destination. (It is far easier to eliminate a group of people on a plane than to assassinate them individually). And there was initially some question over the origin of the mangosteen cargo on board MH370 but it was not inspected thoroughly as it was going to Beijing and therefore “not our problem”. I doubt that the plane was hijacked by persons on board. The disappearance of MH370 does not fit that scenario. After 911, I believe that Boeing (at least) incorporated into the flight electronics of their aircraft, the ability to be able to take control of the aircraft and fly it as a drone (via satellite communication as they do with military drones) AND to lock out any further intervention by the pilots or a hijacker on board. One would easily assume that the ability to shut down transponders to ground-control stations would also be incorporated into this “drone control via satellite communications” – they wouldn’t want the aircraft to be announcing itself if it was to fly over hostile territory. The flight path of MH370 was also quite bizarre. But considering MH370 being flown as a drone, it becomes logical. The initial rapid ascent to 45,000 ft is well above the 777’s max operating altitude. The passengers (and pilots) would be deprived of oxygen and die – eliminating any mobile phone or radio calls for help from MH370. And then the 777 steeply dived to 29,000ft but it did not crash – the flight path levelled out. And then MH370 made subsequent turns until it was lost from radar – heading towards the Indian Ocean. So why then did the plan make another left turn and head south and flew another 4-5 hours in a straight line without pilot intervention? My feeling also is, that MH370 is not in the southern Indian ocean south-west of Perth. The black-box pingers that have been “detected” there quite erratically, for brief periods and at points that are 100’s of kms apart MAY well be a false flag. So if we are wanting to find who is responsible for the disappearance of MH370, the questions to ask are 1. What was the motive for disappearance of MH370? (Perhaps Gaurav’s postulation may be correct but I think it’s in the ballpark) 2. Who has the technology to take control of a Boeing 777 remotely? (The US obviously!) 3. Why was it mentioned, perhaps unintentionally, that MI6 and CIA were involved in the search for MH370? Apologies for posting anonymously….don’t have any of those other profiles. May 4, 2014 3 May 2014 – UK MailOnline Eleven terrorists with links to Al Qaeda have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in the disappearance of #MH370…. A mystery surrounding the cargo being carried by the missing Malaysian Airlines plane emerged on Friday when it was discovered that it had been loaded with items not specified on the manifest. The aircraft was carrying 4.566 tonnes of mangosteens – an exotic fruit – and a shipment of lithium batteries, which were part of a separate consignment. The batteries weighed 200kg, but that separate consignment totaled 2.453 tonnes. So what was being carried to make up the 2.253 tonnes in that separate shipment?

Safety inspectors in California have cited Scaled Composites for being at fault for the explosion that killed three employees at their Mojave Air and Space Port. The explosion occurred in July 2007 and stunned the X-Prize winning company. They now face a maximum fine of $25,310. Burt Rutan’s Scaled Composite company has been going from strength to strength in recent years. In 2004 the company was successful at launching their SpaceShipOne to an altitude of 114km, claiming the $10 million Ansari X-Prize in 2004. Since this historic win, Rutan has formed a powerful alliance with British businessman Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic. Branson is currently heading the construction of the world’s first Space Port in the New Mexico desert, using SpaceShipOne’s successor, the larger SpaceShipTwo, as the principal craft to take 6 people into space. Stowed under a WhiteKnightTwo aircraft, SpaceShipTwo is designed for a conventional take-off until the pair are at approximately 15 km in altitude. At this point, the pair separate, allowing SpaceShipTwo to accelerate to 2500 mph by firing its single hybrid rocket engine. Weightlessness will be achieved, giving space tourists an idea of what it feels like to be in a low Earth orbit. Tragically, three personnel working on the Scaled Composites site in the Mojave Desert last July were killed in an accident during tests involving a rocket propellant. The report from safety officials state that the company failed to provide “effective information and training of the health and physical hazards associated with nitrous oxide,” the fuel used to power the rockets. Since the incident safety measures have been stepped up and it is hoped that this sad event won’t delay the 2009 launch of the first space tourism flights by Virgin Galactic.

OT Interviews: Five Questions with Space Forge’s Christina MacLeod5th Nov 2022 Space Forge, a UK-based in-space manufacturing company, will soon be the first to launch a reusable satellite platform, as it hopes to leverage the space environment to address challenges on Earth. Orbital Today sat down with the company’s Business Development & Marketing Officer, Christina MacLeod, to discuss the upcoming launch and what Space Forge hope to accomplish in space. A challenge for the company’s satellite, known as ForgeStar 1, will be its safe re-entry through the Earth’s atmosphere, so that it may be relaunched. Therefore, the company has been working on ForgeStar 0, a demonstration flight to test a heat shield designed to keep the satellite safe upon reentry. ForgeStar 0 will be onboard Virgin Orbit’s upcoming launch in Cornwall by the end of 2022 – which also marks the first-ever launch from UK soil. OT: What Space Forge is doing? CM: Basically, we are developing the world’s first returnable and re-launchable satellite platform that will be conducting in-space manufacturing operations in orbit. Our company has a really strong focus on using space for good, so we want to harness the space environment for life on Earth. We want to set a precedent. What in-space manufacturing is, is manufacturing things in orbit. NASA is constantly launching things up to the ISS to test their next-generation materials for the space station, or for future kinds of lunar habitation, or new structures, new pharmaceuticals, new products, and things like that. But what you actually find in orbit is that materials [for use on Earth] can be made better, so anything that has really power-hungry intensive processes really benefits from the space environment. So we’re focusing on advanced materials, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors initially but this could benefit heavy machinery. That’s because the space environment with its microgravity, access to low temperatures, and high-purity vacuum makes really great products. OT: How did the upcoming launch with Virgin Orbit come about? CM: It’s really exciting. First of all, it was quite unexpected. At the end of last year, we were basically asked if we wanted to be part of the UK’s first-ever launch this year to which we excitedly said yes, but we knew that our ForgeStar 1, which is our in-space manufacturing platform, the first generation that’s due to go up in 2023, wouldn’t be ready in time. So we had to really brainstorm and come up with a concept that could be tested in low Earth orbit, but that wouldn’t require the effort of creating a full-scale in-space manufacturing platform. So that’s where the ForgeStar 0 came about. With that, we’re not actually doing any in-space manufacturing on it, but we’re testing our heat shield, which is one of the most critical components of the whole operation. OT: How would the in-space manufacturing platform work? CM: One example would be semiconductors. So essentially, if you make semiconductors on Earth, it’s quite an easy, straightforward process. The thing is, they require large heat sinks and heat pumps because they don’t have great energy regulation, just because the crystallization on Earth isn’t as great. So we found that if you make semiconductors in orbit, you have perfect crystallization, which means that they’re more energy efficient. You don’t need heat sinks and heat pumps and the semiconductors are less contaminated because of the vacuum in space. High Purity vacuum means that you don’t need these really expensive vacuum chambers on Earth to manufacture them, and also low temperatures mean that you don’t need to waste energy by cooling materials down and letting them easily settle. We just found that there were so many benefits to so many industries and we want to create a service that gives companies access to microgravity, that wouldn’t normally be able to. OT: How will Space Forge’s service be greener or cheaper than the alternatives? CM: Reusability will basically drive the cost of the satellite down massively. I mean, you look at the SpaceX rockets, and they were really expensive, to begin with, and now every launch is getting cheaper and cheaper, and the cost of launch has decreased dramatically over the past couple of years. For example, if we replace every semiconductor in every UK telecoms tower, It would reduce the cost of the grid from about 720 million pounds to 400 million pounds. But you know, to all the people that are really environmentally conscious, and for all the countries that are trying to do better, this really could prove a huge turning point for industry, across the world. OT: Outside of the technical issues, what hurdles has the company faced? CM: I mean, right now we’re kind of struggling with the regulatory aspects. Launching satellites from the UK is quite a process that the UK is still trying to figure out and we’ve had to jump through so many hoops to even get to where we are with the Forge Star 0 launch. When it comes to returning satellites, that’s a whole different story. Because we’re basically helping write regulations to do this safely, so, detangling that and figuring it out has been very difficult. But in the future, I think returning satellites will be quite tricky in making sure countries are aware of the benefit of Space Forge, and that we can return our vehicle anywhere on Earth. I mean, we aim to create an end-to-end UK supply chain, but I think the first few missions will be tricky for the team, making sure that we build up customer confidence in us. We’ve had lots of people come to us and say that’s not possible, that it’s too expensive, that it’s not feasible. But, we’ve also had loads of customers say that it’s the kind of next step that we need to create next-generation materials that will really change our industry and cut down on carbon emissions. Space Forge is just pioneering the idea of marrying space and Earth together and using them in tandem and connecting the best ecosystems. In terms of the reusability aspect, we’re developing a fleet of reusable satellites, which isn’t typically done and so we really want to make other space companies look at themselves and what they’re doing to the space environment, which is becoming more and more contested every year, and make them reconsider their practices and show that it is possible to create reusable satellites and to protect our space environment for future generations. Orbital Today would like to thank Christina MacLeod for taking the time to talk with us about Space Forge’s work. We would also like to note that Christina MacLeod is also the founder and organizer of the Edinburgh Women in Space Conference, and we hope to speak with her on related topics in the future.

January 23, 2013 By Jill W. Tallman California’s San Carlos Flight Center hopes to transform a high school student into a private pilot this summer through a full flight training scholarship. The Upwind Summer Scholarship Program is open to students who will be age 17 as of August. The recipient of the scholarship will receive free ground school, books, charts, and basic flight planning tools, as well as flight instruction, a medical exam, the knowledge test, and the checkride. The club’s instructors and member pilots also will provide mentorship and guidance to the student. Applications are due Feb. 28, and can be downloaded from the website. A candidate will be chosen March 15 and should expect to begin ground school on April 2. Flight lessons will begin mid-June when school ends. The student should expect to fly three to five times per week, with the goal of taking the private pilot checkride before returning to school in the fall. During the training, the student also will participate in San Carlos Flight Center fly-outs and monthly cookouts, and share progress reports in the club’s newsletter. Pilot Training and Certification, The National Aeronautic Association has awarded the Collier Trophy for “the first unmanned, autonomous air system operating from an aircraft carrier.” Thousands of Michigan residents remained without power late April 14 after strong winds toppled trees and power lines, peeled back roofs, and destroyed three general aviation aircraft the evening of April 12. The memory of a passenger who perished in an April 1945 airline accident continues to drive an effort to recognize notable achievements in aviation safety. VOLUNTEER AT AN AOPA FLY-IN NEAR YOU!

Private space firm Blue Origin doesn't get as much attention as SpaceX, with all its missions to the International Space Station and plans for Mars colonization. Still, Blue Origin is doing some fascinating things. Just yesterday at its Texas launch facility, it successfully tested the launch abort system on its New Shepard rocket. Although, "success" doesn't quite get the point across. The launch was absolutely flawless. New Shepard has been tested several times in the past, and like the SpaceX Falcon 9, it's capable of reaching space and returning to land vertically on the ground. Blue Origin has launched the same exact rocket it used in today's test four times previously. All it need was refurbishment and refueling to get ready for another launch. What was different about yesterday's launch is the addition of a mock crew capsule atop the New Shepard. About 40 seconds into the mission, the rocket was programmed to simulate an anomaly that would put the crew at risk. That triggered the abort system on the crew capsule to blast it clear of the booster. You can see the whole launch in the video below, but all the action comes a little more than an hour into the broadcast. [embed width="640" height="360"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqUIX3Z4r3k[/embed] The crew capsule is equipped with a solid rocket booster packing 70,000 pounds of thrust. Unlike a liquid fueled engine, a SRB burns through all its fuel at a constant rate when ignited. This means that the booster in this launch was also subjected to incredible force when the abort system was activated. It was entirely possible the booster would be destroyed in the process. Blue Origin was careful to stress that it didn't necessarily expect the New Shepard to survive this test, but it did. Not only did it survive, it continued into space and came back down for a perfect vertical landing (its fifth). As for the crew capsule, the SRB pushed it clear of the booster as planned. After the rocket burned out, the drogue chutes were deployed to slow its descent, then the main chutes came out. It landed gently near the launchpad. Jeff Bezos, who owns Blue Origin, must be pretty happy with today's test.Blue Origin does have some very cool systems, but it's still a few years behind the likes of SpaceX. The current New Shepard just goes straight up and back down -- it doesn't have enough power to get a payload into orbit and then return to Earth for a landing. However, this was the last launch for the current New Shepard. A next generation version of this rocket is being manufactured right now, so perhaps it will have more advanced capabilities.

Their job was to man and maintain the vast fleets of aircraft needed to attack German cities and industry. Before World War II some women pilots made their marks on aviation history. In August 1943 all women flying for the USAAF were consolidated into the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) and Jacqueline Cochran was the USAAF Director for Women Pilots and Nancy Harkness Love was named the WASP executive on the Air Transport Command Ferrying Division.

Vietnam is one of the most memorable, and simply outstanding destinations you can ever visit. Humbling, beautiful, simple and delicious – it’s a place with no equal. Getting there however is a bit of a head scratcher, particularly from the USA. Quite a lot of red tape and certification is required to transport airline passengers in the United States, and even more so for foreign airlines, but Vietnam Airlines has taken a significant step in launching flights. For anyone who’s been dreaming of visiting Vietnam, without the hassle of connecting elsewhere in Asia – as if the journey isn’t long enough as is – there’s good news on the horizon. Vietnam Airlines, a SkyTeam airline (and Delta partner) has received its US air carrier permit, which is a major milestone in the ambition of bringing direct flights between the two countries, using the airlines modern new fleet. Vietnam Airlines operates one of the younger and more modern fleets in the sky, with a steady mix of Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. With clear ambitions to launch direct flights between US gateways and Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, the airline has now received a United States Air Carrier Permit, which would allow the airline to operate flights between the US and Vietnam, and also flights via intermediary cities such as Taipei or Nagoya. With newer aircraft such as the 787’s and A350’s Vietnam Airlines already flies, direct routes to either Vietnamese gateway would be viable from both coasts of the United State, even as far as New York City. Singapore Airlines currently operates the world’s longest flight between Newark and Singapore. So what’s still standing in the way of official route announcements? With a new and approved US air carrier permit, one of the most significant steps is in the rear view, but the airline must still liaise with TSA and US Customs and Immigration (CBP) officials, and also receive final FAA and NTSB approval. Vietnam Airlines and US based Delta Airlines have already created one stop codeshare routes between Vietnam and the United states via Frankfurt and Tokyo, which kick in this coming October, but this is seriously exciting news for one of the most buzzing tourism destinations in Asia and anyone in the United States hoping to visit. With any hope, the rest of the US certification pieces will fall into place soon, and direct flights will become a reality.

Each cub scout assembles a rocket from a kit and decorates it before the day of the rocket launch. On the day of the launch, the cub scouts check in their rocket so that it can be judged on style. After the judging, it is time to begin launching the rockets! With the help of a boy scout or an adult, the cub scouts install an engine into their own rocket. Then every scout takes a turn and places their rocket on the launch pad. The count down begins! When it’s time, the cub scout who has their rocket on the launch pad presses the button to release their rocket! It is so fun to watch the rocket launch into the air and out of sight! Most of the time the rockets are retrieved and the cub scouts can put another engine in the rocket and launch it again! This year our new Lions had the opportunity to launch the pack rocket, The Mighty V2! It has been launched since 2001. There have been 10 successful launches and some not so successful launches. In 2004, it chased a cub scout’s dad down a soccer field! It exploded at the launch in 2006, which caused it to “burst into shame”. In 2015, it was resurrected and presented to the pack. It successfully launched in 2017, but was crushed on impact! We will have to retire it and are planning to have a new one for the next launch! We are so thankful for the help and support of Boy Scout Troop 1344! At the rocket launch, they did a great job helping with the rocket check-ins, judging, and working with the cub scouts when they launched their rockets.

NASA is again rescheduling the launch of five rockets from Virginia due to bad weather. The rockets are part of a study of the jet stream. The launch had been set for Thursday at NASA's space center on Wallops Island but has now been pushed back to early Friday. Bad weather has postponed the launch several times. The Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment (ATREX) will help scientists understand the jet stream, which is located 60 to 65 miles above Earth's surface. The rockets will release a chemical tracer to form white clouds that allow scientists and the public to visualize the winds. Residents from South Carolina to southern New Hampshire and Vermont might be able to see the clouds for up to 20 minutes.

Severe turbulence on United Airlines flight injures 5 Five people hospitalised due to the unexpected Turbulence WASHINGTON : Severe turbulence on a Houston-bound United Airlines flight injured five people who had to be hospitalised, authorities said. The United Airlines flight 128 from Rio de Janeiro landed at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport at around 5.30 a.m. on Monday, the airport's public information officer Augusto Bernal told CNN. "The flight experienced severe turbulence that resulted in five passengers being transported to the hospital once it landed in Houston," Bernal said. Confirming the incident in a statement, the airlines said: "United flight 128 encountered unexpected turbulence while en route to Houston. Upon arrival, two passengers and three crew members were met by medical personnel and taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. "We're grateful to our crew for their efforts to ensure the safety of our employees and customers." Monday's incident comes a day after 36 people were injured due to severe turbulence on a Honolulu-bound Hawaiian Airlines flight from Phoenix, Arizona.

Built by Aichi, estimated date of assembly January 17, 1943. Delivered to the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). This aircraft was assigned to either the 582 Kōkūtai, 552 Kōkūtai or possibly a Carrier Air Group. Damaged on the ground at Gasmata Airfield, presumably with a bomb blast damaging the tail and forcing the aircraft onto its nose. This aircraft remained in situ until 1973 when recovered by Douglas Hubbard, Jr. for the Nimitz Museum. Locals felt the wreck was stolen from them without permission. The Val was taken from Gasmata by landing craft, and transferred to HMAS Afterwards, shipped to Long Beach Base then transported to the Nimitz Museum.

Back in May, we reported a major disagreement which had broken out between Australian airline, Qantas and it’s London-based cabin crew who work some of the carriers longest flights. At the time, the union which represents the cabin crew even accused Qantas of “anti-union tactics” in an attempt to “silence legitimate health and safety concerns.” The dispute arose from what Qantas called a “trip length trial” – essentially, Qantas had shortened the amount of time that cabin crew spent on their layovers away from base. Specifically, on the ultra-long-range London to Perth flight which has a flight time of over 17-hours, cabin crew could expect to enjoy just 24-hours recovering before flying all the way back to London. On top of that, some cabin crew were even being put on ‘standby’ duties during their layover – just in case a crew member who was due to operate the return flight went sick. Understandably, Qantas staffers complained of exhaustion from working such a long flight with so little rest. For its part, Qantas claimed cabin crew were simply “transitioning into new flying”. In the past, UK-based crew had been used to flying between London and Dubai – a mere 7-hour flight. The Unite union, however, said Qantas was dismissing concerns of fatigue and was compromising safety in the pursuit of profit. And now, it would appear that Qantas has decided to backtrack on its controversial rostering experiment. According to sources within the union, Qantas has significantly increased the amount of time crew spend ‘down route’, as well as taking the decision to abolish standby duties away from base. The Unite union has called the move a “positive step forward” which should address significant concerns of fatigue from operating such long routes. As well as the London-Perth route, London-based crew also regularly operate the 14-hour flight between Heathrow and Singapore.

Leading manufacturer Airbus has been a forerunner when it comes to adding composites to their range of aircraft. Some 70 percent of the materials used to make every Airbus A220 are advanced materials, with 46 percent being composite materials and 24 percent aluminium-lithium. The design of Airbus’ long-haul A350 XWB aircraft places even more trust in composites; it’s 53 percent carbon-composite construction results in a 25 reduction in operating costs, fuel burn and CO2 emissions. Economy and sustainability aren’t the only areas in which composites have delivered benefits to Airbus and their customers. The carbon composites used in the Airbus A350 XWB also enable a more spacious fuselage design as well as the highest possible air quality, with optimised cabin altitude and humidity levels for improved passenger comfort. Elsewhere in Airbus’ aircraft line-up is the A400M, whose wings are primarily constructed from a carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, and whose eight-bladed Ratier-Figeac scimitar propellers are made from a woven carbon-fibre material. And Airbus isn’t the only aerospace manufacturer enjoying success with composite materials. Since increasing the level of composites used in their aircraft, Bombardier claims to have achieved a 15 percent reduction in seat-mile cost, a 20 percent drop in fuel burn and a significant CO2 emissions advantage. Composites are even set for orbit, with leading space industry innovator SpaceX having designed and constructed the world’s largest carbon-fibre composite fuel tank for their Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) interplanetary spaceship.

GLOSTER METEOR F8 A77-851 Twin engine single seat military fighter History of A77-851 The aircraft first served with the RAF in Britain and was handed over to the RAAF in July 1952. It was exported to Australia, but in early 1953 it was sent to Korea. It operated with 77 SQN. On 27 March it destroyed a MiG-15 in combat while being flown by Sgt George Hale. Another ‘probable’ kill was recorded to the aircraft. Its Korean service included taking part in 77 SQN’s last strike. The aircraft returned to Australia in December 1954 and was allocated to 23 SQN. It was damaged in March 1957 when the ejection seat drogue gun inadvertently fired. The aircraft was repaired and allocated to WRE at RAAF Edinburgh in October 1960. Fairey Aviation converted it to a U.21A model by fitting a new nose section. The modified aircraft was put into service in March 1963. Soon after, it crashed on landing at Woomera during an unmanned trial flight. The old nose section (which is on display) was preserved and came to the Museum in 1990. A77-851 at Kimpo, South Korea, in 1953/54. Engines: 2 x 16 kN (3,600 lb) thrust Rolls-Royce Derwent centrifugal flow turbojets Max take-off weight: 8,664 kg Length: 12.6 m Wingspan: 13.1 m Height: 3.96 m Cruising Speed: 339 kt (629 kph) Range: 1,100 km (594 nm) Crew: 1 pilot Armament: 4 x 20mm Hispano Cannon

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos after his historic space flight Photograph:( AFP ) Amazon founder Jeff Bezos along with three others landed safely on Earth after their historic journey to outer space in the New Shepard Blue Origin rocket. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 57, fulfilled his childhood dream of travelling to space as the Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket zoomed to outer space and was back home with a bang. The successful flight carried the Amazon founder, his brother Mark, Wally Funk, 82, who became the oldest woman to enter space, and 18-year-old Dutchman Oliver Daemen who became the youngest man to enter outer space. The recovery team rushed to meet Bezos, Mark, Wally and Oliver for a celebration marking their return from space as the mission was declared a success. The lift-off was delayed slightly but it went off smoothly as the rocket took off from a Texas desert at speeds exceeding 3700 kph using a liquid hydrogen-liquid oxygen engine. The astronauts experienced weightlessness for three to four minutes as they unbuckled and the capsule separated from its booster. The capsule fell back to Earth with three parachutes. "A truly historic day," Blue Origin said on Twitter as millions followed the event live. The eleven-minute mission coincided with the 52nd anniversary of the first Moon landing. "It's dark up here," female aviator Wally Funk was heard saying. New Shepard had undertaken 15 uncrewed flights as part of its test runs earlier but on D-Day, it delivered as it brought the four crew members back home safely. (With inputs from Agencies)

ASEAN KEY DESTINATIONS AirAsia Surabaya-Singapore service given approval at Singapore end SINGAPORE: The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and the Changi Airport Group (CAG) have clarified that airlines need to obtain separate approvals for flights from respective civil aviation authorities at each end of a route. They said in a joint statement on Saturday (Jan 3) that Indonesia AirAsia's Surabaya-Singapore service has been given approval at Singapore's end. Replying to media queries, they said before "an airline can launch a service between two points, it needs to obtain approval of its flight schedules from the respective civil aviation authorities at each end of its flight routing separately. "The airline’s application will be considered by each civil aviation authority, taking into account the air traffic rights available under the relevant air services agreements (ASA) and the availability of airport take-off and landing slots from the respective slot coordinators," the statement added. It said that on Singapore's end, Indonesia AirAsia had applied to operate a daily flight between Surabaya and Singapore for the Northern Winter Season from Oct 26, 2014 to Mar 28, 2015, arriving at Changi Airport at 8.30am (Singapore time) and departing for Surabaya at 2.10pm (Singapore time). "These daily flights were approved as there were available air traffic rights under the bilateral ASA and the slots at Changi Airport were available," the statement said. It added that Indonesia AirAsia was operating the flight four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, adding that airlines may adjust their flight frequencies in the course of a season in response to market demand or operational requirements. The clarification came after Indonesia's transport ministry said on Saturday that the AirAsia plane that crashed last weekend was flying on an unauthorised schedule, and it had now frozen the airline's approval to fly the route. Flight QZ8501 crashed into the Java Sea with 162 people on board en route from Indonesia's second city Surabaya to Singapore early Sunday, at a flight time that had not been cleared by officials, said director general of air transport Djoko Murjatmodjo. "It violated the route permit given, the schedule given, that's the problem," he told AFP. "AirAsia's permit for the route has been frozen" until investigations were completed. We will carry out an audit or an evaluation on all airlines in Indonesia over whether there are any violations related to route, time and schedule," he said. A statement from transport ministry spokesman J.A Barata said AirAsia was not permitted to fly the Surabaya-Singapore route on Sundays and had not asked to change its schedule. Rough weather has in recent days hampered the search for the plane, which is believed to be in relatively shallow water of around 25 to 32 metres. So far 30 bodies and various items of debris have been recovered. Letters that do not contain full contact information cannot be published.

I agree with Giraffe. I suspected as well that it was only due to airflow. The tilting of the rear engines doesn't make sense if you apply it to making the take off distance shorter and helping the aircraft lift. My reason for saying this is because if the #2 engines like those on the MD-11 and DC-10 were tilted up, then the downward pushing force behind the engine would actually try and push the rear end of the plane higher than the front end thus causing the plane to go nose down. Thanks for all of your replies. "Bangkok Tower, United 890 Heavy. Bangkok Tower, United 890 Heavy.....Okay, fine, we'll just turn 190 and Visual Our Way

RADIATIVE COOLING OF PARTICLE FLOW IN VACUUM In many articles concerning the thermal radiation of disperse systems, the temperature of a disperse system was assumed to be known, and the only problem was to determine the radiation field. Strictly speaking, a nonequilibrium thermal radiation field, when the radiation flux is not equal to zero at least at one point, will lead to variations of the medium temperature. Certainly, these variations may be small. In this case, the problem statement based on the known temperature field, as in the article Radiation of nonisothermal layer of scattering medium, is correct. For example, simple estimates show that radiation heat transfer cannot lead to an essential variation of gas and particle temperature in the combustion chamber and supersonic nozzle of a solid propellant rocket engine. At the same time, a two-phase exhaust jet of the rocket engine may be cooled by various conditions: at low altitudes — due to mixing with ambient air (the role of radiation is not important, see article Thermal radiation of two-phase exhaust jet), but at high altitude — sbecause of the thermal radiation to surrounding space. When thermal radiation takes part in formation of the medium temperature field alongside other heat transfer modes, i.e., in the case of combined heat transfer, the resulting radiation field can be calculated only by solving the coupled radiative transfer and energy equations. In the articles Radiative boundary layer and Liquid droplet radiator for space applications, problems of the radiation heat transfer in moving media are considered, when there is an interaction between the radiation and convective heat transfer, but heat conduction in the medium can be neglected. In the first of the above-mentioned articles, the known model problem of a radiative boundary layer on a plate is considered. As in some other articles of the Radiation area, the differential approximations are employed. The abstraction of the physical problem statement has proved to be highly useful in solving some practical problems. An example of such problem is presented in the article Liquid droplet radiator for space applications.

Some time ago I wrote down all that I had been taught and learned about operating the Boeing 777 Electronic Checklist (ECL) in conjunction with the onboard Electronic Indication and Crew Alert System (EICAS). I’ve updated it along the way as I became an instructor and it’s become more and more of a formal document along the way. Now it’s here on Infinidim. The disclaimer below says it all – read at your own risk. If you have any comments, corrections or suggestions, please let me know in the Comments at the bottom of this post. EICAS (Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System) is the centralised system for monitoring the normal (NM) and non-normal (NNM) status of modern Boeing aircraft. It is a one stop shop for engine indications and crew alerting and in combination with the Electronic Checklist (ECL), providing a human centric set of problem solving tools for modern aircraft. This document does not seek to explain the basic mechanics of EICAS or ECL and assumes that you already have the relevant systems and procedural knowledge from the Boeing FCOM, QRH, FCTM and some practical experience. Instead here I explain the philosophy behind EICAS and ECL, providing a consistent framework for all crew to use as a basis for handling EICAS messages, ECL NM and NNM checklists and NNM events in a consistent manner, using the best practice CRM/NTS principles of the modern multi crew cockpit. You will also find some handling tips that have come from experience with the aircraft. You may find some of the procedures and techniques documented here somewhat pedantic and stilted, but they are intended to produce a level playing field in the handling of NNM events across crew of varied language skills, company cultures, experience levels and degrees of fatigue – these procedures become second nature with repetition. Note that nothing in this document should be considered authoritative over any procedures found in the Boeing Normal Procedures (NP’s). The NP’s and your airline Flight Operations Manual document are overriding. Finally, note that while most of the contents is applicable to all 777 models, a few items (such as 5.9 Engine In Flight Start Envelope) are specific to the B777-300ER with GE90 Engines. This document is based on extensive research and operational experience of the Boeing EICAS/ECL found in the 777, in conjunction with documented procedures in the Boeing 777 QRH, FCTM and FCOM. Material incorporated in this guide is taken from all three of the relevant Boeing documents, as well as Boeing publications from issues of Airliner magazine and other sources. As such this document is to be regarded as secondary in precedence to all these reference texts and should not be actively referred to with respect to operation of the aircraft. Additionally this document incorporates techniques that have been developed and tested in conjunction with Simulator Training but not validated in operation of the aircraft, and must be read with caution.

Racing to turn lemons into lemonade, scientists at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab scrambled yesterday to build a new mission for their NEAR spacecraft after a rocket failure Sunday canceled plans to orbit the asteroid Eros on Jan. 10. Instead, NEAR (for Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) was being reprogrammed to snap 500 photos of Eros as it flies by beginning at 1: 43 p.m. today. It will then reconfigure for another attempt to orbit the asteroid the next time it comes around the solar system, in May 2000. "They have assured me this is going to work," said APL spokesman Helen Worth. "We love a challenge." The NEAR spacecraft was designed and built at APL and launched in February 1996. It was the first of NASA's "faster, better, cheaper" Discovery series. In June 1997, it flew past a 41-mile-long asteroid called Mathilde and radioed back more than 500 pictures snapped from a distance of 753 miles -- the closest ever of an asteroid. NEAR is 232 million miles from Earth. APL scientists had planned to orbit Eros until February 2000. With the vehicle circling as close as nine miles from the surface of the 25-mile-long rock, they hoped to gather a wealth of data about its structure and chemical composition. The opportunity was lost when a critical rocket burn failed Sunday evening. An initial two-minute maneuver went as planned. But just as the main engine began to fire, it shut down, and radio contact was lost. NASA launched a search with the antennas of its Deep Space Network. At 7: 30 p.m. Monday, its operators found a weak signal. It sounded like NEAR. "By 8 p.m., they were able to tell us it definitely was NEAR," Worth said. "I saw people smile who I hadn't seen smile for many hours. It was very jubilant. But they didn't take much time to celebrate," she added. By 4 a.m. yesterday, controllers regained full contact. They began to query the spacecraft for information on the rocket failure. "Apparently there was no hardware damage," Worth said. The cause of the rocket failure was unknown, but it was being laid to a software error. When it comes time to fire it again for orbital insertion in May 2000, APL engineers expect it will work. Eros will fly past the NEAR spacecraft today at a distance of about 2,500 miles. That's more than three times farther away than the 1997 Mathilde flyby, so the quality of today's pictures of Eros will be poor compared with the Mathilde photos. However, Eros will be moving much more slowly than Mathilde -- just 1 mile per second relative to NEAR, Worth said. "What we will be able to determine is if it [Eros] has any moons. We will determine its size and shape. Scientists may also be able to estimate its mass. "The advance look will help them plan for a safer encounter in May 2000 than they would have had next month. "It gives us some advantages, though not enough to have wished this on ourselves," she said. Pub Date: 12/23/98

Published in Midwest Flyer – Oct/Nov 2016 OSHKOSH, WIS. – The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and Garmin announced July 25, 2016, the availability of an FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) of the G5 electronic attitude indicator for hundreds of makes and models of aircraft. Garmin supplied a G5 that is installed in the panel of AOPA’s Sweepstakes 172, which was on display throughout EAA AirVenture Oshkosh at the AOPA Campus at Wittman Regional Airport, Oshkosh, Wis. “We are pleased to see this collaboration between government and industry to pave the way for installing in certified airplanes these modern, highly capable systems common in experimental airplanes,” said AOPA President Mark Baker. “These cost-effective new products will bring new vibrancy, safety, and reliability to the GA fleet. This is just the beginning. We expect other companies to bring forth other non-TSO’d equipment that will improve the fleet.” AOPA has worked closely with the FAA, Garmin, and others in the industry to demonstrate the need for affordable avionics and other safety systems for older airplanes. The solid-state G5 electronic flight instrument can be installed in type-certificated fixed-wing general aviation aircraft using a supplemental type certificate (STC) in 562 aircraft models. The compact and cost-effective G5 is a standalone primary source for aircraft attitude or turn coordination information, while also displaying secondary information such as airspeed, altitude and more. The G5 costs $2,149, which includes the install kit, back-up battery and STC, and $2,499 with an optional GPS antenna. Deliveries for new orders are expected to begin in September. The G5 forms the heart of the upgraded panel on the Cessna 172, which is being remanufactured by Yingling Aviation in Wichita. In its effort to continue focusing attention on the need for lower cost, safety-enhancing equipment for the legacy fleet, AOPA hopes to install a new-generation digital autopilot in the airplane and other gear, including an upgraded engine and airbag seatbelts, before the aircraft is given away as part of AOPA’s membership sweepstakes, which closes May 31, 2017. Anyone with an active AOPA membership at that point is eligible to win the revitalized Skyhawk. See the official sweepstakes rules on the AOPA website (www.aopa.org).

NASA might send humans to orbit the Moon again NASA’s next generation rocket Space Launch System (SLS) is currently scheduled to send an unmanned capsule to orbit the Moon, but the White House has asked the government-run space agency to look into the possibility of making the rocket’s debut launch a manned mission. The White House has asked the space agency to take around a month to assess how much additional time, money and risk would be added to the SLS’ debut flight if a two-member crew is put on board. Bill Gerstenmaier, the agency’s associate administrator for human exploration & operations, said, “This study will determine how much additional time is needed … to add crew to EM-1. We will definitely have a [later launch date]. We also recognize we'll need to add some additional funding.” The SLS rocket is currently scheduled to make its debut flight, Exploration Mission 1 (EM-1), in sometime in late 2018 or early 2019. It will launch an Orion space capsule on a route that would take it around our celestial neighbor and then back to Earth. Under the current plan, a crewed SLS mission will follow with EM-2 sometime between 2021 and 2023. But, the White House wants the space agency to speed up the manned mission. NASA started working on the new super rocket SLS in 2011 to replace the over-budget and behind-schedule Constellation program.

Google and investment firm Fidelity are together investing $1 billion in Elon Musk's SpaceX company. The money will be used to advance a number of projects, including the recently announced Internet satellite plan. SpaceX almost nailed it on Saturday with its first attempt to land its Falcon 9 rocket on a floating barge, but it came down too heavily. SpaceX boss Elon Musk is adamant they'll get it right some time this year, paving the way for cheaper space travel. SpaceX has had enough of watching its Falcon 9 rocket explode every time it returns to Earth. In a bid to reuse the rocket and save massively on costs, the company is planning to create a system involving a controlled landing on a floating platform. On Friday, SpaceX will launch its first attempt at its ambitious new plan -- to land a Falcon 9 rocket on a self-stabilizing ocean platform. If successful, the landing has huge implications for the future of space travel The SpaceX project suffered a major setback Sunday when the Falcon 9 rocket carrying supplies to the International Space Station exploded shortly after launch. The accident means it could be many months before the team is ready to try another launch. Companies like SpaceX have been trying to develop reusable rocket systems for years, but their previous attempts at returning their Falcon 9 reusable rocket system back on Earth have had mixed results. Now, another company has joined the fray. In a worst-case scenario --like, say, a booster failure-- the Pad Abort system would work like a jet pilot's ejection seat, allowing the rocket's passengers to blast themselves up and away from danger. SpaceX's mission to launch a space weather satellite and bring the rocket safely back to Earth was called off just minutes before lift-off on Sunday evening when engineers discovered a problem with the rocket's radar tracking system. SpaceX is ready to give its ambitious rocket launch/recovery plan another try today. Launch is scheduled for 4:33 PM ET, and you can watch the whole thing live right here. We've also added a live weather forecast, so you'll know ahead of time what the… While Google and Facebook are already looking at different ways to bring Internet connectivity to remote parts of the world, Elon Musk is reportedly also interested in creating and launching 100s of 'lighter, cheaper' satellites with the same goal in mind. Today on DT Daily: tricking your cell phone camera into thinking its 1974, SpaceX gets ready to try and land a rocket, again, and gassing up your dead device… with actual gas.

Known as "Stearmans," they were actually built by Boeing who, in 1934, had acquired the Stearman Aircraft Company. The design was practically considered an antique when introduced, but the biplanes were rugged, maneuverable, and ideal for the rigors of military flight training. Most Stearmans survived the war and many became prized as crop dusters and airshow performers. The Museum's "Kaydet" was manufactured as an Army PT-13A, but was restored with the Continental R-670 engine used in the PT-17 model. Built in 1937, it was the 55th of over 8,585 "Kaydets" produced.

During the period since the end of the Apollo program, however, the nation’s investment in aerospace R&D has declined by more than half of what it was during the heyday of space exploration. As a percentage of U.S. government investment in R&D, NASA’s portion accounted for 14 percent of the nation’s total in 1980 but that amount has declined to 7 percent. Is this an acceptable situation for the nation that has led the world throughout the 20th century in air and space technology, achieving stunning success in all manner of accomplishments, transforming the lives of every person on our planet? I think not. These total declines tell only part of the story. In the last few decades, the federal government has contributed ever smaller shares toward the nation’s R&D funding. Government investment accounted for as much as 66.8 percent of all R&D dollars in 1964. The federal share of R&D funding first fell below 50 percent in 1979, and it remained between 44 and 47 percent from 1980 to 1988. Since that time, the federal government’s share of the nation’s R&D has fallen even further, to less than 23 percent in 2008. Fortunately, the administration of President Barack Obama recognizes this situation and is working to increase federal support for R&D, taking it up to at least the percentage of investment made in 2000. Despite this decline, the results of those federal investments are everywhere around us. It was in no small measure from government investment in miniature electronics technologies in the 1960s and 1970s that the many devices we use today, such as smartphones, sprang. It is from government investment in computing and telecommunications technology that the Internet emerged. It was from government R&D that our space-based system of navigation, GPS, has made reading a paper map obsolete. These are only a few examples among thousands that might be offered. But what of the future? Without question, the U.S. is at a critical juncture regarding the long-term health of its aerospace enterprise. Knowledge is critical to maintaining America’s competitive edge in aerospace technology. It is only possible to maintain our leading edge by increasing investment in a comprehensive R&D program. Failure to do so will put U.S. aerospace leadership at risk. Recognizing this threat to America’s leadership, the Obama administration has recently re-emphasized investment in aerospace R&D and within NASA by creating a special organization and program, the Office of the Chief Technologist and the Space Technology program. The goal is to pursue cutting-edge research, technology and innovation to enable NASA’s missions in aeronautics, science and space exploration while also enhancing America’s technological future. Because NASA plays such a vital role in America’s innovation engine, our future economic prosperity and security rest on this renewed commitment to R&D. NASA’s new Space Technology program is one part of an overall national investment in research, technology and innovation. This effort will stimulate new innovations, job creation and increased global economic competitiveness. The program also will position NASA’s aeronautics, science and human space exploration programs for great success during the coming decades. Perhaps we can change the game through payoffs in high-risk technology. Imagine sending humans beyond low Earth orbit, where they have been orbiting for the last 40 years, to explore compelling destinations such as near Earth asteroids and Mars. Imagine passenger-carrying aerospace planes that can take off from runways, travel to the edge of space, and land half a world away, all in the space of a couple of hours. Imagine space vehicles reaching into orbit with the reliance and safety of commercial airliners. Imagine finding an Earth-like planet in another solar system. Imagine discovering life under the ice of Europa or at some other place in this solar system. All of these imaginings are possible with strategic investments in the technology of flight. Who knows what transforming discoveries will be made during the next 50 years that will alter the course of the future? Only through smart, high-payoff research and technology investments will those discoveries be realized. Only one feature is inevitable: The unexpected will occur. I believe the future will be one in which the unexpected will enhance our lives and our understanding of the universe, if we make the necessary strategic technology investments in that future today.

British aviators Alcock and Brown made the first non-stop transatlantic flight in June 1919. They flew a modified World War I Vickers Vimy bomber from St. John's, Newfoundland to Clifden, County Galway. Winston Churchill presented them with the Daily Mail prize for the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in "less than 72 consecutive hours" and they were knighted by King George V. John Alcock was born in 1892 in Seymour Grove, Old Trafford, England. He first became interested in flying at the age of seventeen and gained his pilot's licence in November 1912. Alcock was a regular competitor in aircraft competitions at Hendon in 1913/14. He became a military pilot during World War I, though he was shot down during a bombing raid, and taken prisoner in Turkey. After the war, Alcock wanted to continue his flying career and took up the challenge of attempting to be the first to fly directly across the Atlantic. Alcock was the pilot for the Atlantic flight. Alcock was killed on December 18, 1919 whilst flying the new Vickers Viking amphibian to the Paris airshow. Arthur Whitten Brown: Arthur Whitten Brown was born in Glasgow in 1886. He began his career in engineering before the outbreak of the First World War. Brown also became a prisoner of war, after being shot down over Germany. Once released and back in Britain, Brown continued to develop his aerial navigation skills. While visiting the engineering firm of Vickers he was asked to serve as navigator for the proposed transatlantic flight with John Alcock, who had already been chosen as pilot. Brown lived until October 4, 1948. In April 1913 (renewed in 1918), the London newspaper The Daily Mail offered a prize of £10,000 to"the aviator who shall first cross the Atlantic in an aeroplane in flight from any point in the United States of America, Canada or Newfoundland and any point in Great Britain or Ireland" in 72 continuous hours"." During their ordeal, Alcock and Brown flew a modified Vickers Vimy IV twin-engined bomber powered by two Rolls-Royce Eagle engines, each of 360 hp, taking off from Lester's Field in St. John's, Newfoundland at around 1:45pm, June 14, 1919. When in poor visibility they misidentified a bog as a suitable grass field to land on, their aircraft technically crashed on landing (53°26?N 10°01?W) in said bog near Clifden in Connemara at 8:40am on June 15, 1919. They had spent around fourteen-and-a-half hours over the dangerous chilly waters of the North Atlantic crossing the coast at 4.28pm, despite the fogs, icing problems and engines which nearly quit. Soon to be knighted for this first non-stop trans-Atlantic flight, Alcock and Brown had flown 1890 miles (3040 km) in 15 hours 57 minutes, at an average speed of 115 mph (185 km/h). Their altitude varied between sea level and 12,000 ft (3,700 m) and upon take-off they carried 865 imperial gallons (3,900 L) of fuel were on board. The flight nearly ended in disaster several times owing to engine trouble, fog, snow and ice. It was only saved by Brown's continual climbing out on the wings to remove ice from the engine air intakes and by Alcock's excellent piloting despite extremely poor visibility at times and even snow filling the open cockpit. The aircraft was badly damaged upon arrival due to the attempt to land in what appeared from the air to be a suitable green field but which turned out to be the bog on Derrygimlagh Moor, but neither of the airmen was hurt. Their first interview was given to Tom 'Cork' Kenny of the Connacht Tribune. Alcock and Brown were treated as heroes on the completion of their flight. In addition to the Daily Mail award of £10,000, the crew received 2,000 guineas from the Ardath Tobacco Company and £1,000 from Lawrence R. Phillips for being the first British subjects to fly the Atlantic Ocean. Both men were knighted a few days later by King George V. Alcock and Brown flew to Manchester on 17 July 1919, where they were given a civic reception by the Lord Mayor and Corporation and awards to mark their achievement. Two memorials commemorating the flight are found near the landing spot in County Galway. The first is an isolated cairn four kilometres south of Clifden on the site of Marconi's first transatlantic wireless station from which the aviators transmitted their success to London, and around 500 metres from the spot where they landed. In addition there is a sculpture of an aircraft's tail-fin on Errislannan Hill two kilometres north of their landing spot, dedicated on the fortieth anniversary of their landing, June 15, 1959. A third monument marks the flight's starting point in Newfoundland. A memorial statue was erected at London Heathrow Airport in 1954 to celebrate their flight. There is also a monument at Manchester Airport, less than 8 miles from John Alcock's birthplace. Their aircraft (rebuilt by the Vickers Company) can be seen in the London Science Museum in South Kensington. Two weeks before Alcock and Brown's flight, the first trans-Atlantic flight had been made by the NC-4, a United States Navy flying boat, commanded by Lt. Commander Albert Cushing Read, who flew from Naval Air Station Rockaway, New York to Plymouth with a crew of five, over 23 days, with six stops along the way. This flight was not eligible for the Daily Mail prize since it took more than 72 consecutive hours and also because more than one aircraft was used in the attempt. A month after Alcock and Brown's achievement, British airship R34 made the first double-crossing of the Atlantic, carrying 31 people (including a stowaway); twenty-nine of this crew, plus two flight engineers and a different American observer, then flew back to Europe. On July 2-3, 2005, American adventurer Steve Fossett and co-pilot Mark Rebholz recreated the flight in a replica of the Vickers Vimy aeroplane. This time, they landed a few miles away on the Connemara golf course rather than in the bog near Clifden. However, true to tradition, they had to call on the services of a local motor mechanic to fabricate a replacement part from materials at hand. This replica Vimy, NX71MY, was built in Australia and the USA in 1994 for an American, Peter McMillan, who flew it from England to Australia with Australian Lang Kidby in 1994 to re-enact the first England-Australia flight by Ross & Keith Smith with Vimy G-EAOU in 1919. In 1999, Mark Rebholz and John LaNoue re-enacted the first flight from London to Cape Town with this same replica and in late 2006, the aeroplane was donated to Brooklands Museum at Weybridge, Surrey, UK (www.brooklandsmuseum.com). After making a special Alcock & Brown 90th anniversary return visit to Clifden in June 2009 (flown by John Dodd and Clive Edwards), and some final public flying displays at the Goodwood Revival that September, the Vimy made its final flight on 15 November 2009 from Dunsfold Park to Brooklands crewed by John Dodd (pilot), Clive Edwards and Peter McMillan. Now retired from flying for the foreseeable future, it is now on public display in the Museum's Bellman hangar but will be maintained to full airworthy standards. One of the propellers from the Vickers Vimy was given to Arthur Whitten Brown and hung for many years on the wall of his office in Swansea before he presented it to the RAF College Cranwell. It is believed to have been displayed in the RAF Careers Office in Holborn until 1990 and to be in use today as a ceiling fan in Luigi Malone's Restaurant in Cork. The other propeller, serial number G1184.N6, was originally given to the Vickers Works Manager at Brooklands, Percy Maxwell Muller, and displayed for many years suspended inside the transatlantic terminal (Terminal 3) at London's Heathrow Airport. In October 1990 it was donated by the BAA (via its former Chairman, Sir Peter Masefield) to Brooklands Museum at Weybridge where it is now motorised and displayed as part of a full-size Vimy wall mural. A small amount of airmail was carried on this flight. The government of the Dominion of Newfoundland overprinted stamps for this carriage. They are valuable, while the covers (envelopes) used on the flight are particularly rare. Numerous forgeries exist. Upon landing in Paris after his own record breaking flight in 1927, Charles Lindbergh told the crowd welcoming him that "Alcock and Brown showed me the way!"

Impact craters expose the subsurface materials on the steep slopes of Mars. However, these slopes often experience rockfalls and debris avalanches that keep the surface clean of dust, revealing a variety of hues, like in this enhanced-color image from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, representing different rock types. The bright reddish material at the top of the crater rim is from a coating of the Martian dust. The long streamers of material are from downslope movements. Also revealed in this slope are a variety of bedrock textures, with a mix of layered and jumbled deposits. This sample is typical of the Martian highlands, with lava flows and water-lain materials depositing layers, then broken up and jumbled by many impact events. This image was acquired by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on Feb. 28, 2011 at 15:24 local Mars time. It is a stereo pair with image ESP_021454_1550.

Scale Pursuit Models, Inc. (SPM) was formed in 2005. We are a Colorado-based company and all of our design and manufacturing occurs in the USA. Scale Pursuit Models is owned and operated by Wade and Emily Kloos. Although SPM is relatively new, this is not Wade’s first kit business. During the late 1990’s, Wade created Durable Aircraft Models (DAM), a company dedicated to manufacturing Power Slope Scale (PSS) gliders. To learn more about Durable Aircraft Models, click here. In 2000, we chose to shut down DAM to focus our efforts on developing our vision for an improved model airplane. A great deal was learned from our glider business – what worked and what did not work. Beyond our gliders, we saw an opportunity to introduce a model construction method that offered significant benefits to the modeling community. We spent many years testing and perfecting our concept until we reached what we believed is a truly unique construction method that advances the hobby. Significant investment was needed to bring this vision to market, and as such, we refocused our target market from glider pilots to modelers flying powered, giant scale models. Scale modeling is our passion. We strive to incorporate as much scale accuracy as possible in our scale models. We research 3-views, and use hundreds of photos of the full-size aircraft to create our tooling. We are eager to hear your feedback on our designs, construction method and our model's finished appearence. Let us know what you like and do not like. We are commited to producing only top quality products and providing responsive customer service.

While pilots are often cited as having fitness and longevity levels that exceed those who work in non-flying professions, there are certain factors that have raised concerns in the past and need to be considered in the operation of long- haul flights. With modern aircraft promising to increase flight times still further, medical specialists are using previously gathered data in an attempt to foresee problems that may arise when flight times increase. Over the years, one of the prime health concerns to those who fly regularly has centered on whether flight crew have an increased risk of cancer due to prolonged exposure to high doses of cosmic radiation. This has led to a number of studies into this matter including one carried out by the California Department of Health Services on Cabin crew, which found that there was a twofold increase in the risk of melanoma skin cancer and that breast cancer was 30% higher. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that while airline crews are subjected to higher levels of naturally occurring radiation than the general public, levels are still low. Dr. Ian Perry, an aviation medical expert who sits on a number of advisory panels, believes that there is too much blame placed on flying and that such illnesses may have more to do with airline crew's "lifestyle and irregular diet over the years." He also says that crews go to more exotic locations and are therefore exposed more frequently to sunlight which in turn means they have a higher risk of skin cancer. At a seminar on The Aeromedical Challenges of Ultra-long Haul Flying held at the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAes) in London in April 2004, Dr. Michael Bagshaw of British Airways (BA) presented a paper on cosmic radiation. Bagshaw discussed how at low altitudes we are protected from cosmic radiation by the Earth's magnetic field. The area over the equator enjoys the greatest protection with zero protection offered over the geomagnetic poles and - somewhat anomalously - reduced levels of protection over an area in the South Atlantic. Air travel at altitude can take us beyond this protective 'blanket' and increases our exposure to cosmic radiation. With ULH flights setting to favor the use of polar routes in travel, it is clear that exposure on these flights will be even greater. We are all exposed to 'background' radiation, measured in milliSieverts (mSv), throughout our daily lives and the International Radiological Protection Commission suggests a General Public limit dose of one mSv per year in excess of exposure to background levels. Placed in context, this equates to eight return transatlantic flights or five antipodean return flights in a year. Supersonic aircraft travel at higher altitude and as a result iust 100 hours per year of supersonic flight is enough to expose an individual to the recommended maximum dose. These guidelines are intended for passengers, for Cabin and Flight Crew, an occupational exposure limit of 20mSv per year is set instead. Bagshaw explained how radiation exposure is calculated by taking a flight, its profile and airports used and then measuring the altitude, latitude and longitude of the flight as well as other contributory factors - such as the solar cycle. This is generally carried out using a range of computer programmes specifically designed for this task. While there have been reports of increased risk during times of solar flare, cosmic radiations itself "is a fairly constant flux," says Bagshaw. BA has carried out a number of studies into radiation levels in flight crew and continues to monitor this issue. In one such study, flight crew levels were measured against those recorded in people working in other areas of industry. While the maximum levels recorded in flight crew were almost equivalent to those seen in people working in the nuclear fuel industry, the statistical average fell well below this rate. So how does the overall picture look? Between 1950 and 1992, BA monitored 6,209 pilots and 1,153 flight engineers comprising 143,500 person years of observation. The results were encouraging and revealed that life expectancy for long haul crew was four to five years better than that of the average recorded in members of the public - with short haul crew having an increased life expectancy of two to three years. Although radiation levels are known to present a heightened risk of leukaemia, they were found to be far less than expected in those studied - in fact there was no occupational increase in cancer levels, bar that of melanoma. The effects of fatigue in flight crew have also been repeatedly flagged up as a health care issue by both the aviation medical professionals and pilots themselves. At the Royal Aeronautical Society seminar, Dr. Ian Hosegood of Emirates Airlines discussed how the airline is looking at this issue. Also to be brought into use by Singapore Airlines and Canadian Airlines, the four-engine 313-seater aircraft has a range of 8,360 nm (16,000 km) and will enable the airline to extend its operations to the east and west coast of the USA although it is likely to be used on shorter routes initially. According to Hosegood, "there has been scant data on the medical effects of flying over 14 hours with pilot fatigue having been traditionally viewed as an industrial issue." Hosegood says that for the first time, safety is going to be dependent on flight crew being well-rested and that a paradigm shift in how this matter is approached by regulators is needed as the existing "football team approach" will no longer suffice. Emirates has been busy reviewing scientific literature on the effects of fatigue using in-house expertise on this matter as well as that of Qinetiq and Harvard University and a number of other organizations conducting research in this area. Within the aviation industry, information from the United Augmented Flight Study, NASA and DERA reports and the results of the Emirates Pilot Questionnaire was reviewed. ULR meetings and workshops provided another source of information particularly as did those held by the Flight Safety Foundation in recent years. Alternative modelling is to be carried out and Hosegood said, "we need to work out how much sleep crew get and what it's worth - for example we know it's important that crew rest at circadian lows." It has been found that if a rest period is simply split down the middle, crew are often fatigued. Having two sleep opportunities should ensure that at least one is successfully used and this is also said to reduce crew anxiety. Other ways that Emirates is planning to tackle this matter include a "stepwise" increment in sector lengths whereby crew can become slowly accustomed to flying longer sectors, integration into the company Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS) and light exposure - although this is still seen as a tricky thing to get right and may potentially cause more of a problem if done incorrectly. Educating crew and management and carefully devising rosters is also a key step in improving matters. Flight crew, especially, need to be armed with the knowledge to make "tactical decisions" and devise personal strategies for ensuring they are as well rested as possible and that they look at factors such as exercise, diet and caffeine intake and have a strategic plan for each route. With plans to eventually use two captains and two first officers on the planned long haul A340 flights, Emirates has initially approved the use of the "City Pair" system whereby crew fly out and back in single sectors. Various designs of crew rest facilities are being looked at for onboard the new aircraft. Flight crew will be segregated from cabin crew and considerations include: noise / vibration, temperature / humidity, bedding, ablutions and relaxation as well as full IFE facilities. In further fatigue modelling, testing and validation, Emirates will be using data gathered from using wrist actometers such Actiwatch. This "watch like" device can be worn by pilots to test fatigue levels and can be plugged into a laptop computer where data - similar to that seen in an electro-cardiogram - is downloaded and analyzed. Other ways in which fatigue will be measured include using electro-encephalograms (EEC) and electro-oculograms (EOG), and sleep logs as well getting crew to participate in Psychomotor Vigilance Tasks (PVT). However, one of the onegoing issues, says Dr. Hosegood, is the recognition that everyone is different and with this in mind it is difficult to know whether to model on the average or the worst case. Another factor to be considered is integrating with current Flight Time Limitation (FTL) schemes. Recognizing the risks posed by fatigue, a number of organizations have published advice on alertness management. In their Guide, the Air Transport Association provides basic information on the physiological causes of fatigue and also prescribes some preventive and operational fatigue countermeasures. As well as obvious measures such as developing good sleeping habits and trying to minimize sleep loss, there is information on strategies that actively reset the body's circadian clock. Operational countermeasures include increasing social interaction and conversation, taking exercise and also the use of caffeine during a flight. The Guide also cites ajoint National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) study in which crewmembers who were allowed to take planned naps showed better performance (34 percent) and higher physiological alertness (100 percent) during the last 90 minutes of flight than the control group crewrnembers who had not napped. The FAA does not currently sanction this practice, but research is ongoing and there are always going to be opportunities for 'strategic naps' outside of the cockpit. Napping is the only operational countermeasure that addresses one of the major physiological causes of fatigue - the need for sleep - and reverses it. While other operational countermeasures primarily mask fatigue, naps actually reduce it. BA, as with many airlines, takes flight crew fatigue extremely seriously and has been taking steps to address this issue. Representatives from the airline have attended a Fatigue Countermeasure course run by NASA and then devised a training module, which is given to all flight and cabin crew. Flight crew receive this as part of their annual refresher course in aviation medicine, and cabin crew as part of their Crew Resource Management (CRM) training. As well as classroom sessions, printed notes summarize what they have been taught and highlight details on topics such as sleep scheduling, good sleep habits and napping. Long-haul crew also receive "preventative and operational recommendations, individualized to the operations they are flying." This translates as route and time specific advice cards for every long-haul sector flown by British Airways developed from a concept pioneered by Airbus Industries. Stress and fatigue can be closely related and there are a number of environmental issues that can contribute to the levels of nervous tension in flight crew. For example, with aircraft travelling at increasingly high speeds it is vital that pilots have a high degree of alertness and are able to concentrate for the long periods of time required. This is especially true in poor weather and night conditions where there is an increased risk of an accident as visual references are lost. During such difficult conditions, pilots need to be extra vigilant and ensure that flight instruments are accurately monitored and this is naturally very tiring. On long haul operations, the design of the cockpit itself can be an important contributory factor when measuring stress and fatigue levels. As well as ease of instrument use, heating and ventilation are important in maintaining comfort levels thereby reducing stress and areas of distraction. Altitude can cause stress, particularly below 5,000 feet as this is where the greatest atmospheric changes generally occur and flight crew can suffer from trapped gases within the body. Common health problems such as a common cold can cause significant ear and sinus discomfort during descent. While fatigue may generally be the main cause of stress amongst the pilot community, the lifestyle itself has much to answer for. A long-haul pilot is less likely to have a stable home life and multiple marriages are common. With divorce and relationship problems being high on the list of life's stressful events, this is a factor that can push an indivdual to a high point of anxiety and potentially into alcohol and drug abuse. Many flight crew indulge in activities that are not always conducive to promoting good health. These do not only have adverse effects on their physical and mental well-being but can also be a real threat to safety. An acronym often used to list these factors is DEATH which stands for "Drugs, exhaustion, alcohol, tobacco and hypoglycaemia." While the vast majority of pilots are extremely competent people of sound mind, they are not immune to the psychological disorders anymore than any other sections of the working public. A pilot's flying life - especially when flying long-haul routes - can be very stressful and it is important that colleagues or line managers are able to quickly respond to warning signs of psychological distress. A case of what can happen when these warning signs are not observed is that of Gamil el Batouti, relief pilot of Egyptair Flight 990 who was thought to have crashed the aircraft on purpose. Post accident reports indicate that Batouti may have been an "acute psychotic" and that there were numerous warning signs that should have been noted. He was said to have exhibited frequent mood changes and was argumentative and was also said to have been invoked in a number of high-risk activities. In light of this tragic event, the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) suggested that it might be prudent for the industry to introduce psychological profiling of pilots. This suggestion caused outrage amongst the US pilot population who thought it would be ineffective and an invasion of privacy. While rare, there have been various reports on crew suffering health problems due to cabin vapours caused by either leaking engine oil or faulty air conditioning units. Exposure to such fumes can cause symptoms that range from skin, nose, eye and respiratory irritation through to neurological dysfunction and chronic fatigue syndrome. Chris Winder, from the School of Safety Science at the University of New South Wales, Australia says that any aircraft that leaks oil can cause such problems and said this can include Boeing 757, Airbus A320, BAe146 and MD80 types. A recent report by the Australian Federation of Air Pilots, highlighted the problem and cited details from a number of recent surveys that revealed the extent of the problem. One of the most recent of these was an analysis of 21 BAe146 pilots who had experienced diarrhoea, recurring headaches, and intolerance to certain types of food and alcohol as well as brain impairment. These toxic vapours are said to range from "light blue to a black cloud and can smell like strong blue cheese," according to members of a research project on this matter. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) In recent years, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) has received more coverage - at least in the popular media - than any other air travel related issues. Michael Reynolds has set up 'Airhealth.org', a non- profit-making organization dedicated to educating air travellers on the risks of DVT. Reynolds and his team are quick to point out that the popularly termed 'economy class syndrome' is a condition which has the potential to affect all air travellers, pilots included. Quoting Dr. David McKenas, medical director at American Airlines, the website states that 'the most common causes of sudden pilot incapacitation are cardiac arrest, arrhythmia, and fainting', all of which are often caused by a blood clot in the lung. Indeed, 5% of DVT sufferers who have contacted the website are pilots. In contrast to flight attendants who exercise enough during a flight to reduce the risk of DVT, pilots tend to move around less and the risk is higher, especially if coagulability is already high from a previous flight and they fall asleep sitting upright. Airhealth's stance is supported by a number of studies such as Gianni Belcaro's LONFLIT series. However, in a presentation to the Royal Society of Medicine in London in January 2002, Dr. Michael Bagshaw, pointed to Swiss research published in 2001 which found professional pilots were less likely to suffer DVT than the general population, and that 16 out of 27 pilots who did had well recognized, pre-disposing factors. There are, of course, many acute, short-term conditions or illnesses brought on by working as flight crew. The diet and eating patterns can suffer due to time zone changes and can lead to number of medical issues within individuals. In exotic locations, crew may be more susceptible to food poisoning or may be exposed to contagious illnesses as in the case of the recent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak. Another very serious health risk is hypoxia which is an issue in its own right and can affect crew on both short and long haul flights. Also referred to as "mountain sickness", hypoxia is a condition that can be caused by flying at altitude and can cause a pilot's mental coordination to slow down and may potentially reduce night vision. According to Group Captain David Gradwell, Consultant adviser in Aviation Medicine with the Royal Airforce, it is a condition that can affect even the fittest and youngest of pilots and there is no known predictor of susceptibility. Although it is extremely rare for flight crew to be affected by hypoxia, it is a potentially serious condition and there are often no symptoms. Research into this condition is ongoing with much of it being carried out in conjunction with aircraft air quality studies. One of the most notable studies has been instigated by the European Union (EU) and is primarily looking at lowering cabin altitude. So will the ULH flights of the future pose an increased medical risk to flight crew? Certainly the view of the speakers at the RAeS seminar is that jury is still out on this matter. It is clear that fatigue is the primary concern and that crew on these flights will be carefully monitored. It could even be that ULH flights will prove safer if crews are doubled up and have adequate rest facilities onboard. It will be interesting to see what further research and monitoring on this matter will reveal. Capt. Shekhar Gupta [ Pilot, DIAM, M.Ae.S.I., MAOPA [USA] ] Blog : http://shekharaerosoft.blogspot.in/

Generally the extra money on the upper end of the scale buys instant results. Cut the tabs at the back of the wing as shown in the diagram. For light models, tissue paper is used. Card model kits are not limited to just aircraft, with kits being available for all types of vehicles, buildings, computers, firearms and animals. As with a powered aircraft, lift is obtained by the action of the wings as the aircraft moves through the air, but in a glider, height is only gained by flying through air that is rising faster than the aircraft is sinking relative to the airflow. The kit format allows you to fully customize your model. You start with a pile of sticks and turn it into an airplane that flies. Other are gasoline burning and 4 stroke. Using this torque curve efficiently is one of the challenges of competitive free-flight rubber flying, and variable-pitch propellers, differential wing and tailplane incidence and rudder settings, controlled by an on-board timeswitch, are among the means of managing this varying torque and there is usually a motor weight restriction in contest classes. Scale models can be made from paper normal or heavy or card stock.

Request For Proposal for 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft Issued (Source: Indian Ministry of Defence; issued Aug. 28, 2007) India has finally issued its $10 billion RFP for up to 190 modern combat aircraft to replace its older MiG and Jaguar (above) fighters. (US Air Force photo) The Request for Proposal (RFP) for the procurement of 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) at an estimated cost of Rs. 42,000 crores (approx. $10 billion-Ed.) for the Indian Air Force was issued today to six vendors – Russia’s MIG-35 (RAC MiG); Swedish JAS-39 (Gripen); Dassault Rafale (France); American F-16 Falcon (Lockheed Martin); Boeing’s F/A-18 Super Hornet and Eurofighter Typhoon (made by a consortium of British, German, Spanish and Italian firms). The 211-page document deals with various issues relating to initial purchase, transfer of technology, licensed production and life-time maintenance support for the aircraft. The RFP contains the selection model that would involve an exhaustive evaluation process as detailed in the Defence Procurement Procedures (DPP) – 2006. The proposals from the likely contenders would first be technically evaluated by a professional team to check for compliance with IAF’s operational requirements and other RFP conditions. Extensive field trials would be carried out to evaluate the performance. Finally, the commercial proposal of the vendors, short-listed after technical and field evaluations, would be examined and compared. The aircraft are likely to be in service for over 40 years. Great care has been taken to ensure that only determinable factors, which do not lend themselves to any subjectivity, are included in the commercial selection model. The selection would be transparent and fair. Under the terms of purchase, the first 18 aircraft will come in a ‘fly away’ condition while the remaining 108 will be manufactured under Transfer of Technology. The vendor finally selected would also be required to undertake 50% offset obligations in India. The ToT and offset contracts would provide a great technological and economic boost to the indigenous defence industries which would include Defence Public Sector Undertakings, Raksha Udyog Ratnas and other eligible private sector industries. Foreign vendors would be provided great flexibility in effecting tie up with Indian partners for this purpose. It may be recalled that the Defence Minister Shri A K Antony while chairing the Defence Acquisition Council Meeting on June 29, 2007 had outlined three guiding principles for this procurement scheme. First, the operational requirements of IAF should be fully met. Second, the selection process should be competitive, fair and transparent, so that best value for money is realized. Lastly, Indian defence industries should get an opportunity to grow to global scales. (ends) India Floats Biggest Ever Global Defence Tender for Fighters (Source: ddi Indian Government news; issued Aug. 29, 2007) The government on Tuesday issued the Request for Proposal for the procurement of 126 fighter aircraft for the Indian Air Force to six international vendors, at an estimated cost of forty two thousand crore rupees. India floated its biggest ever global defence tender for purchase of 126 Multi-role Combat aircraft, in a deal which would run up to a staggering Rs 42,000 crores (approx 10 billion dollars), the strength of IAF fighters during this year had plunged to an all time low of 32 squadrons (576 aircraft). An official announcement in New Delhi said the Request For Proposals (RFP) for the fighters had been issued to six main bidders, ending a eight-year suspense over the acquisition. Under the proposal, 18 fighters would be bought off the shelf and remaining 108 manufactured under technology transfer in India. The RFP also stipulates an option of India purchasing another 64 fighters under the same terms and conditions. The Defence Ministry expects the first batch of 18, which would be supplied in a flyaway condition to be inducted in IAF by 2012. The chosen manufacturer would have to spend 50 percent as direct offsets on the aircraft or defence manufacturing industry in India, the announcement said. "As the tender is huge, 50 percent direct offsets has been mandated, preferably in the aircraft project itself", top defence ministry sources said. Former Defence Secretary Shekar Dutt had gone on record as saying that the offsets could flow to other defence projects, if the country needed them. The six bidders as listed by the Defence Ministry are American aviation giants Lockheed Martin in contention with their F-16 Fighting Falcon; Boeing with twin-engined F-18/A Super Hornets; French Dassault with Rafale fighter; Swedish SAAB's Gripen JAS-3; Eurofighter Typhoon and Russian Aircraft Corporation's just unveiled Mig-35. Asserting that the selection process would be "transparent and fair", the Defence Ministry said the new fighters were expected to have a lifeline of over 40 years or an actual flying time of 6,000 hours, whichever is earlier. For the first time under the new fighter RFP, the Government has incorporated the Life cycle cost calculation. The tender also stipulates guaranteed serviceability and adequate supply of spares throughout the lifetime of the aircraft. The costs of the aircraft would include direct acquisition including that of weapons and missiles, warranty for first two years, licence royalty for manufacture in India, cost of technology transfer and costs of initial training. While the Defence ministry did not disclose the Air Staff Requirements as laid down by the IAF, sources said Air Force parameters broadly included that the fighters should be able to execute all missions from air defence to ground and maritime attack as well as reconnaissance. Mid-air refuelling is a must for the new aircraft. The six vendors will be given six months from Tuesday to respond to the RFP, and after an evaluation of the technical documents, field trials of the aircraft and their systems would be undertaken to match the claim of manufacturers. These will be followed by weapons tests in the country of respective manufacturers. The vendors will submit two documents--technical bids and commercial bids. The commercial bids would only be opened after all trials and evaluation has been completed. After price negotiations are gone through the contract will be put up for approval of the Defence Minister who will then send it to Cabinet Committee on Security for a final nod. The RFP gives the aircraft manufacturers to choose their partners either from Public Sector undertakings or Private players. But Hindustan Aeronautics limited, the country's sole established aircraft manufacturer would be the lead integrator.

The Red Baron is by far the most famous aircraft of the First World War. German fighter planes, extremely agile (for that time), but rather slow as a triplane. It was piloted by the famous Manfred von Richthofen, a real ace in aviation during the First World War, which caused widespread fear and recognition. The model made of nubbly bricks carefully reproduces the historic aircraft of the First World War. It has a movable propeller and wheels, movable ailerons and the pilot figure can sit in the cockpit at the controls of an aircraft armed with two heavy machine guns. Due to its solid construction, the set can be used both as an exhibition model and as a toy plane (not only for children). The model contains a unique pilot figure: Baron Manfred von Richthofen, called "Red Baron", and a block plate with the name of the plane. - 175 building blocks - Made in EU - 1 figure included - compatible with other leading brands of building blocks. - Dimensions: 19,5 x 24 x 11 cm - From 6 years

Photos from Apollo 16 could show UFO orbiting the moon YouTube UFO hunter Streetcap1 posted NASA Apollo 16 images in a video on his channel. NASA images of the Moon, Mars, other planets, as well as footage taken by the International Space Station, was scoured in an extensive search for evidence of alien life. The expert said in the video: "I have been browsing a lot of photographs tonight and I discovered this on a moon photograph "It is on the edge of the photograph, that is as close in as I can get. "It appears on quite a few photos, not all of them. It is some sort of structure and it is just sitting orbiting the Moon. "You can see its structure when I get a close up of it. To me it looks like some sort of structure." Viewers have suggested it could be the mysterious Black Knight satellite, also known as the "Dark Knight". After watching, Traci Hill posted on YouTube: "Looks kind of like the Dark Knight." Valle Janes later added: "Someone commented it looks like the Black Knight... I agree." Others were less convinced, offering up alternative explanations. One poster with the user name Coil Smoke said: "Could be high terrain like mountain peaks still getting sunlight." Jack Gordon added: "Photographic artefact more likely than alien ship." The 1998 Nasa image (left) and an earlier alleged Black Knight snap over the Moon in July 2015. The Black Knight Satellite is the name that has been given to an object captured on camera by NASA astronauts during a 1998 space shuttle mission. There are alien conspiracy theorists who claim the satellite is of extraterrestrial origin, possibly up to 13,000 years old orbiting Earth in near-polar orbit. The myth developed in 1963 when NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper was reported as saying he had seen the Black Knight Satellite while in space, but there was a media blackout upon his return and the US space agency allegedly put it down to cosmic hallucinations. It has been reported that a decade later in 1973, a researcher from Scotland, Duncan Lunan, looked back at the Norwegian scientists' data from 1928, before claiming the "messages" suggested the Black Knight was sent by aliens from Epsilon Boötis, as a welcome message to Earth 12,600 years ago. A close up of the 'UFO' taken from the YouTube video. Someone commented it looks like the Black Knight... I agree. In 1998, the first alleged photographs of the satellite emerged and were taken by astronauts on the space shuttle Endeavour, as it made its first flight to the ISS. However, many sceptics claim the legend was retrospectively created after the 1998 images emerged, with the preceding odd events weaved into the story to make it more convincing. Sceptics also say the existence of the Black Knight satellite has been debunked many times, and the NASA images show, as the space agency said at the time, a thermal blanket accidentally dropped from a space shuttle. In 2015, YouTube debunker NUA, laid the mystery to rest. In a video called "Black Knight Satellite UFO Documentary - Truth Exposed 2015 - (Debunked)" - he claims to conclusively prove the 'Black Knight', as photographed in 1998 NASA images, was nothing more than the dropped thermal blanket. The blanket was lost by the crew of the Endeavour space shuttle as they worked on the developing the International Space Station (ISS). In his video, NUA compared NASA video of the Endeavour mission which shows a thermal blanket on the ISS. The same blanket is then seen being dropped by the crew as it tumbles away into space. He highlights the blanket as being exactly the same shape as the 'Black Knight' in the 1998 pictures seized on by conspiracists and explain the object only appeared to change shape because it was turning as it fell away.

MIYAZAKI – Skynet Asia Airways Co. said Wednesday it has put off the launch of a new route between Kumamoto and Tokyo’s Haneda airport due to a delay in aircraft maintenance work. The new route was to be introduced Friday. The carrier notified the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Ministry of the decision earlier in the day and said it will try to complete the necessary work by Saturday and begin services on the new route soon after. For the route, Skynet plans to use two leased 150-seat Boeing 737-400 jets, which have been undergoing maintenance in Paris. They have yet to receive an airworthiness certificate required for commercial operations. “I’m very sorry about the delay for our customers,” Skynet President Mitsunori Mera said. “We are working on switching passengers booked on the affected flights to other companies’ flights.” In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
