PASSENGERS OF AVIANCA FLIGHT REFUSE TO GET BACK ON THE PLANE AFTER ABORTED TAKEOFF
BUENOS AIRES, A colombian airline Avianca Boeing 767 aborted takeoff and passengers refused to get back on the plane for a new attempt. They tried to get on other flights after a technical problem during takeoff. It seems they were terrified. The flight to Bogota was cancelled after the pilot realized the speedometer was broken.

According to a government statement, under the amended FDI policy, 100 per cent FDI is allowed in the space sector. Now, satellite manufacturing & operation, satellite data products and ground segment & user segment can get FDI up to 74 per cent under the automatic route, beyond which government route will be applicable. Sub-sector comprising launch Vehicles and associated systems or sub-systems, the Creation of Spaceports for launching and receiving Spacecraft can get FDI through automatic routes up to 49 per cent. Here, too, beyond 49 per cent, these activities are under government route. One hundred per cent FDI under automatic route has now been permitted to manufacture components and systems/sub-systems for satellites, ground segment and user segment.
To date, FDI is permitted to establish and operate satellites only through the government’s approval route. In line with the vision and strategy under the Indian Space Policy 2023, the Union Cabinet has eased the FDI policy on Space sector by prescribing liberalized FDI thresholds for various sub-sectors/activities “The liberalized entry routes under the amended policy are aimed to attract potential investors to invest in Indian companies in space,” it said while adding that this has been done to realize the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat as laid down by PM Shri Narendra Modi.
“The FDI policy reform will enhance Ease of Doing Business in the country, leading to greater FDI inflows and thereby contributing to the growth of investment, income and employment,” it said. The Indian Space Policy 2023 was cited as an overarching, composite, and dynamic framework to implement the vision for unlocking India’s potential in the space sector through enhanced private participation. The policy aims to augment space capabilities, develop a flourishing commercial presence in space, use space as a driver of technology development and derived benefits in allied areas, pursue international relations, and create an ecosystem for effectively implementing space applications among all stakeholders.
“The proposed reforms seek to liberalize the FDI policy provisions in the space sector by prescribing liberalized entry route and providing clarity for FDI in Satellites, Launch Vehicles and associated systems or sub-systems, Creation of Spaceports for launching and receiving Spacecraft and manufacturing of space-related components and systems,” the statement said.
Department of Space consulted with internal stakeholders like IN-SPACe, ISRO, NSIL, and several industrial stakeholders. NGEs have developed capabilities and expertise in satellites and launch vehicles. With increased investment, they could achieve sophistication of products, global scale of operations and enhanced share of the global space economy.
“This increased private sector participation would help to generate employment, enable modern technology absorption and make the sector self-reliant. It is expected to integrate Indian companies into global value chains. With this, companies will be able to set up their manufacturing facilities within the country duly encouraging ‘Make In India (MII) ‘and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives of the Government,” the statement said. | aerospace | 1 |

The AI 9813 flight was originally scheduled to take off at 9.45 AM but was delayed due to bad weather at destination and rescheduled at 12.30 PM.
When the ATR Turboprop plane was being pushed back for taxiway, “pilots experienced some problem with its engine and decided to return to bay for necessary check and rectification of fault, as Dharamshala being the hilly terrain, the pilots didn't want to take risk,” an Air India spokesperson said.
However, airport sources said the plane had to return after getting a warning of doors not being properly closed.
The fault was checked and rectified and the plane finally took off for Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh after an hour at 1.35 PM, the spokesperson said. | aerospace | 1 |

Teets, former undersecretary and Acting Secretary of the Air Force, head of the National Reconnaissance Office, and president and chief operating officer of Lockheed Martin, died Nov. 29, 2020. Teets, reflecting in 2012 on his term as head of the NRO, said his vision was to “bring online a new generation of collection systems” with constellations that were “more capable, reliable, and user-friendly,” while building “a true spirit of teamwork” in the national security space community. He called the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS), meant to detect missile launches, “the most difficult challenge I had” in the NRO position. It was made more problematic, he said, by prime contractor Lockheed Martin assuring Congress the program “was ‘on schedule and on predicted cost,’ when in fact we had no chance of executing the contract with the resources then allocated.” Ultimately, much of the program was terminated. He believed the NRO made strides on his watch in “getting timely information to the warfighters” and improving relations with Congress. During his tenure, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld designated the Air Force the DOD’s executive agent for space. However, not long after Teets’ departure, and with no replacement named for the duration of the Bush Administration, Rumsfeld withdrew that authority to his own office. Teets grew up in Colorado and attended the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, earning degrees in applied mathematics and business administration, respectively. He worked for the Martin Company as an engineer, rising through the company over several decades as it expanded to become Martin Marietta Corporation. He was elected president of its Space Group in 1993, and soon after the company’s 1995 merger with Lockheed Martin, became president and COO of the new Lockheed Martin Corp. In 2001, Teets retired from Lockheed Martin and undertook the jobs of undersecretary of the Air Force and head of the National Reconnaissance Office, which at that time was a dual position under the administration of President George W. Bush. He reported not only to the Secretary of the Air Force but the Secretary of Defense and head of national intelligence. At the end of the first term of the Bush presidency, Teets served briefly as Acting Secretary of the Air Force after the resignation of Secretary James G. Roche. Teets himself resigned from the undersecretary/NRO job in March 1995. In retirement, Teets served on the boards of the Aerospace Corporation, Draper Laboratories, and Challenger Center of Colorado. He received AFA’s W. Stuart Symington Award in 1994, for the “greatest contribution to national defense by a civilian,” and received numerous other awards, including the Wernher von Braun Space Flight Trophy, the Robert Goddard Memorial Trophy, and the Gen. James V. Hartinger Award for contributions to military space. He was also inducted into the Colorado Space Heroes Hall of Fame. He was elected a Member of the International Academy of Astronautics in 1993.

One of the essential documents that we must always keep up to date is our aircraft certificate of registration. In the event of its loss, theft, or damage, we must replace it promptly to avoid any legal consequences. In this blog post, we will discuss the necessary steps to take on a FAA aircraft registration renewal that means, when replacing your aircraft certificate of registration with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Step 1: Gather All Required Documents
The first step in replacing your aircraft certificate of registration is to gather all of the necessary documents. You will need a copy of your current registration, a government-issued ID, and proof of ownership. The proof of ownership can include anything from a bill of sale to a security agreement or a lease agreement. Make sure to also keep the FAA Aircraft Registration Application (Form 8050-1) ready.
Step 2: Prepare the FAA Aircraft Registration Application
Once you have all the necessary documents, you need to fill out the FAA Aircraft Registration Application (Form 8050-1). The application will require you to provide the aircraft details, the type of ownership, and your contact information.
Step 3: Pay the Required Fees
After completing the FAA Aircraft Registration Application, you will need to pay the required fees. The fees will depend on the type of aircraft you own. For example, the standard fee for a fixed-wing aircraft is $5, and the fee for a helicopter is $2.
Step 4: Submit the Application Package
After submitting the fees, it is time to submit your application package, including all the required documents. You can send your package via mail or online through the FAA‘s Aircraft Registry website. If you choose to mail it, send it to P.O. Box 25504, Oklahoma City, OK 73125.
Step 5: Wait for the New Certificate of Registration
Once the FAA has received your application package, it can take up to six weeks to receive the new Certificate of Registration. If you do not receive it within six weeks, it is recommended that you contact the FAA to inquire about your application’s status.
Replacing your aircraft certificate of registration may seem like a daunting task, but it is essential to ensure that your aircraft is legally registered with the FAA. By following the five steps outlined above, gathering all necessary documents, preparing the FAA Aircraft Registration Application, paying the required fees, submitting the application package, and waiting for your new Certificate of Registration, you will have a stress-free replacement process. Keeping up to date with your aircraft’s paperwork is just as important as staying current with your flying skills, so always make sure to keep your documents in order. | aerospace | 1 |

Those are the tanks for the "fluid thrust vector control" (TVC) system. There's one on each booster.
(from NASA SX-79) TVC would inject NO4 fluid at different points around the circumference of the nozzle to deflect the flow, which changed the thrust direction enough that a gimbeled nozzle wasn't needed. | aerospace | 1 |

Updated: Apr 1
The Instrument Landing System (ILS)
An aircraft descends through a thick layer of overcast clouds. The altimeter indicates the ground is getting closer and closer… Suddenly, approach lights appear out of the mist, leading to a wide runway, and the aircraft makes a smooth touchdown.
One of the most satisfying actions a pilot can make is flying an instrument approach to minimum altitudes, and it’s made possible by the Instrument Landing System or ILS. The ILS uses highly directional radio transmitters on the ground that provide an exact approach path for aircraft.
Shooting an ILS Approach is a basic skill in instrument training, and is covered in depth, along with other important topics, in our IFR Ground School.
The ILS Approach Chart
Let’s talk about how the ILS works by looking at an example. We’ll use the approach chart, or plate, that the FAA published for the ILS approach to Runway 31 in Sioux City, Iowa. We won’t get into all the details of the approach plate in this video, we just want to visualize the approach and how the ILS works.
Private pilots know that they can use an array of red and white lights called PAPI or VASI to determine if they are too high or too low on approach. When the aircraft is on the proper approach path, or glideslope, the pilot can see a line of red lights over a line of white lights. If he gets too low the lights become red over red, if he gets too high, it's white over white.
The pilot can adjust the aircraft’s descent angle until the VASI is red over white, to get back on the appropriate glideslope. A VASI works by having each different light send out both red and white indications directionally, and they are oriented so that on the proper glideslope, the aircraft sees red on top, and white below (see left picture below). This overlap which creates the glideslope can be represented by a feather symbol (see right picture below).
Now, we can tell our descent angle by looking at lights located at the runway, but what do we do if the weather limits our visibility? Well, we can replace these lights with radio signals. Both are waves of different frequencies after all, whether we use lights that get picked up by our eyes or radio waves that get picked up by our antennas, the result is the same.
Radio Waves to Take the Place of the PAPI
The glideslope of an Instrument landing System uses two radio transmissions at different frequencies, one at 90 hertz and another at 150 hertz. Think of it as broadcasting two different colors just like the PAPI or VASI does, after all, color differences are also just differences in frequency in the visible light spectrum!
These transmissions are oriented so that they overlap along the proper glideslope. When the equipment on board picks up both signals perfectly overlapped, it tells us that we are on the correct glidepath. Too much of the 90 hertz signal, and we’ll indicate too high, too much of the 150 hertz, and we’ll indicate too low.
These transmissions originate from a series of antennas that are situated on the side of the the runway on the approach end.
They’re right next to the VASI lights, indicated by the “V” in the black circle, which makes sense because as we said they are doing basically the exact same job.
Look at a satellite image of this runway, we can see that the glideslope antenna, right in the middle of the two VASI lights.
The Glideslope Angle
A typical glideslope on an ILS approach is set at a 3° angle of the ground. (This is typically not depicted to scale on FAA plates for visualization purposes). In the airplane, the VOR receiver interprets the signals from the glideslope. When the aircraft is right on glideslope, the indication on the receiver has the horizontal needle perfectly centered (as shown below). If we were to also look at the VASI lights, we’d see red over white.
If the aircraft gets above the glideslope, the horizontal needle will incrementally move below center, and the VASI will eventually indicate white over white. If the aircraft gets below the glideslope, the needle will move the opposite direction and get above center, while the VASI will show red over red. Note that the needle moves incrementally, giving us an idea of how far off center we are, though VASI can only indicate too high, too low, or just right.
The VOR receiver on the left indicates the aircraft is too high, the one on the right too low.
We use these indications to make corrections by chasing the needle, just like we do for VOR navigation: If the needle is above center, we need to climb, or slow our descent, until the needle centers. Once it is centered we keep making adjustments to keep it centered.
One limitation of the glideslope antenna is that because objects can reflect signals from the ground, false glideslopes can be created which have 9 or 12 degree angles off the ground, instead of the usual 3. For this reason, it’s typical to fly an ILS approach by intercepting the glideslope from beneath it, so as to avoid these false glideslopes.
The glideslope provides vertical guidance, but an ILS also provides lateral guidance. This lateral guidance works very similarly: two signals are transmitted from the runway, one on the left at 90 hertz, and one on the right at 150 hertz. These two signals are directed such that they intercept on a course guiding the aircraft down the centerline of the runway. This transmission is called a localizer, and it’s also represented by a feather symbol. We also use our VOR receiver to track a localizer.
The Localizer - Keeping you on the Extended Centerline
The localizer works very much like a VOR. If we drift right of center the needle swings to the left, and vice versa. In order to stay on the localizer and thus the extended centerline of the runway we need to chase the needle again. The localizer antenna is situated at the opposite end of the runway from the approach. The signal starts at the far end of the runway, and then widens out as it gets further away from its origin as shown by the red area on the plate below. By the time the signal reaches the threshold of the approach end of the runway, it is 700 feet wide, or 350 feet on either side of the centerline. This means that an aircraft just 350 feet off center at the runway threshold would see full deflection on the needle, so it’s quite sensitive at this point.
Because of this fixed width at the threshold, and the fact that the localizer transmitter is set up at the far end of the runway, the angle of the transmission varies with the length of the runway. For example, a much shorter runway would have a localizer that would look more like the blue shaded area on the picture below, in order for the width at the threshold to remain at 700 feet. This means that the width of the localizer course a given distance away is not fixed, it is dependent on the length of the runway, and the only constant value is the 700 foot width at runway threshold.
(The red shaded area shows the actual localizer beam for this runway, the blue shaded area shows what the beam would look like at a shorter runway.)
Marker Beacons - Still Around, but not Used as Much
Besides the localizer and glideslope, many ILS approaches provide distance information using marker beacons. This is shown by a football symbol on the approach plate, and is called an outer marker. They are typically located 4 to 7 miles from the runway, and indicate where the aircraft will intercept the glideslope at minimum altitudes. This is the point where the aircraft should normally be configured for the approach. When passing over the outer marker, the aircraft with the proper equipment will hear a beeping noise in the cockpit.
Marker beacons are less and less common in ILS approaches, and distance information is typically provided through DME or GPS. On an approach chart chart the football shape of the marker beacon is found below the localizer feather. It’s shaded on the right side. You’ll always see the right side of the feather shaded on a localizer front course like this, as opposed to the left side which would be on a back course, which is covered in this video.
An ILS approach is flown by tuning the aircraft’s navigation equipment to the correct frequency. The top of the plate lists the frequency for this approach as 109.3. This frequency is for the localizer signal alone, though it is paired with a glideslope signal, at a much higher frequency, that the navigation equipment will pick up automatically. In addition to receiving these two signals, the aircraft will also receive an identification signal, which broadcasts the morse code identifier for the localizer. Here, the identifier is I-SUX, and the transmission will include the morse identifier shown on the plate by the dots and dashes, just as you’d find when identifying a VOR.
ILS Sensitivity and Range
Unlike a VOR, the localizer and glideslope transmissions aren’t broadcast in all directions. They are highly directional, which means that unless you’re lined up with them, you won’t get an accurate signal. Proper indications are only guaranteed within 35 degrees off either side of the runway centerline, out to 10 miles from the localizer antenna, and within 10 degrees off either side of the runway, out to 18 miles.
This means that even when an aircraft is very close to an airport, but outside the coverage areas, the aircraft won’t receive an indication when tuned to the ILS, and an “off” flag or something similar will be displayed. This often happens when being vectored by ATC to the approach course. Once the aircraft enters the coverage area, the receiver will “come alive”.
Putting the localizer and glideslope together, we get a three-dimensional guidance down to the runway. The localizer is beaming a course from its antenna at the back of the runway, and the glideslope is beaming from closer to the approach end. Where they intersect, the aircraft will have both needles centered. Deviating off this three dimensional center will indicate on one or both needles accordingly.
There might also be one or more marker beacons indicating distance and key parts of the approach. On this approach there is an outer and a middle marker. As we continue inbound, the course gets smaller and the needles more sensitive. The middle marker is situated at the decision altitude, typically 200 AGL, where we decide to either continue the descent down to the runway, or if we don’t have any visual cues, we will start a climb out and execute a missed approach.
Knowing the basics of an ILS approach is important, but like most things in instrument training, the devil is in the details! Check out our IFR Ground School and get started on mastering all the tricks of the trade of instrument flying. | aerospace | 1 |

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates cancelled the previous tanker competition in 2008 after an industry protest led the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) to rule that the competition had not been conducted fairly.
Senior USAF and defence officials promised a fair competition that will be overseen by a new USAF acquisition team, adding that the acquisition process will be reviewed by independent assessment teams.
"We are, this time, going to try to be, and are being, very precise about what the offerers need to do to win," said Ashton Carter, the Pentagon's top acquisition official. "It will be crystal clear when a winner is picked why they won and the other offerer did not win."
Boeing, which protested its loss of the last tanker competition to the GAO in 2008, said on 24 September that it is not ready to say whether it will offer its KC-767 or an aerial refuelling version of its much larger 777 airliner. EADS and Northrop Grumman, which won the competition the last time, will offer the A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft (designated KC-45 by the partner companies for the USAF bid).

According to the airport's Facebook page, NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, plane stopped by for a refueling. The plane is a one-of-a-kind Boeing plane turned into a 106-inch reflecting telescope.
NASA says the plane gives them a unique look at the solar system. Flying between 38,000 and 45,000 feet in the air, the plane is above 99 percent of the Earth's infrared-blocking atmosphere. And, since it's a plane, astronomers are able to move it anywhere around the world.
Astronomers say many objects in space emit a majority of energy in infrared wavelengths. So, the plane telescope allows them the chance to gather data on things like star birth and death along with new solar systems forming, among other events.
A look at the telescope from a video posted by MSP Airport. (MSP Airport / FOX 9)
And, unlike space-based telescopes, the airplane returns to earth after every mission, meaning scientists can swap out equipment and upgrade technology.
The plane is a joint effort between NASA and the German Aerospace Center. It is maintained by Armstrong Flight Research Center in California. | aerospace | 1 |

In a jet fighter (fighter aircraft) the fuselage consists of a cockpit large enough only for the controls and pilot, but in a jet airliner it includes a much larger cockpit as well as a cabin that has separate decks for passengers and cargo. The predominant types of fuselage structures are the monocoque (i.e., kind of construction in which the outer skin bears a major part or all of the stresses) and semimonocoque. These structures provide better strength-to-weight ratios for the fuselage covering than the truss-type construction used in earlier planes.

Eclipse’s claims have to come with some caveats, however.
For instance, as far as we know, the aircraft has not been certified for flight into known icing. Also, only one of the first 104 aircraft is equipped with the Avio NG package that was certified on Dec. 20. The other early aircraft will be retrofitted with the system. Raburn touched on the well-publicized setbacks in the release. “We’re transforming how jets are built, and how people travel,” he said. “It’s an audacious goal, and one that stretches us every day to go beyond what seems possible. Day-to-day setbacks are inevitable, but the reality is that we have created a new aircraft category and are bringing a new breed of jet to market at a rate never before seen in general aviation.” | aerospace | 1 |

vulnerable points against heavy bomber formations was basically a single-seat
monoplane with a Walter rocket motor and armed with a battery of 73 mm Fohn
rockets in the nose or, alternatively, a battery of single-shot 30 mm guns. It
was to be launched vertically from a guide-rail, climbing at 425 mph, with a
flight duration of about four minutes, after which the pilot would glide back
close to his base and parachute out, leaving the aircraft to crash-land.
Work began in August 1944, and after glide tests showed the aircraft's stability
to be good, a manned flight was ordered by the SS in February 1945. Against the
designer's advice, this took place and the pilot was thrown out of the aircraft
and killed. A total of 30 Natter aircraft were built, of which four survived to
be captured by the Allies in 1945. It never achieved service status. | aerospace | 1 |

This morning 4 of our Year 6 pupils travelled to Carr Hill High School to take part in a competitive engineering project.
They had a model of the solar system and had to design and build a rocket that would travel through the model.
They worked with card, sellotape, paper, lolly sticks and art straws to build a rocket which would be powered using compressed air to shoot it through the model of the solar system.
Once the design had been finalised they had to buy the materials to build it, test the design and come up with a final model which was entered in to the competition.
Points were given for design, aesthetics, distance travelled, team work, resilience and accuracy of trajectory along with value for money! The four boys from St Paul's worked very hard and were placed mid filed in the eventual tally up of points. Well done to all of them. Take a look at the photos. | aerospace | 1 |

(June 29, 2018) – Space Tango announced today that a 7U CubeLab™ containing the FLUMIAS-DEA miniaturized fluorescent microscope developed by partner Airbus Defence and Space and TILL I.D. GmbH for the German Space Administration (DLR) is part of the Space Tango payloads launched on the SpaceX Commercial Resupply Services- 15 (CRS-15) mission from Cape Canaveral Florida at approximately 5:42 AM EDT this morning. This is the precursor to a more complex mission focused on expanding fluorescent microscopy capabilities for live-cell imaging onboard the International Space Station (ISS).
“In this technology demonstration, fixed and live cells will be evaluated with recorded images at well defined intervals over a two-week period of cell-culture during the mission,” said Rainer Treichel, Project Manager, Airbus Defence and Space GmbH, Germany. “FLUMIAS results from parabolic (24th DLR PFC) and sounding rocket (TEXUS 52) flights conducted by Space Biology and Life Sciences Professor Oliver Ullrich and Professor Daniela Gabriele Grimm have demonstrated the power of insights that can be gained from this technology in microgravity and we look forward to the results from this long term space experiment, a first for the ISS.”
“In addition to the ScienceBox partnership that we announced at the end of last year, we are very pleased to support DLR and Airbus in this technology demonstration and look forward to providing additional support for future efforts to establish this capability on station,” explained CEO Twyman Clements. “This technology provides completely new insights into human tissues, cell cultures, microorganisms and plants. Working together with DLR and Airbus to successfully expand research capabilities on the ISS with tools like this, accelerates and expands the opportunities to conduct research on station that improves life on Earth.”
Additional payloads accompanying FLUMIAS-DEA to low Earth orbit are STEM payloads from academic partners Higher Orbits and Magnitute.io carrying bees and microgreens, respectively, evaluating agricultural and manufacturing processes in space and on Earth.
Space Tango payloads launched for the CRS-15 missions to be installed on the ISS include:
Airbus Defence & Space
PI: Prof. Dr. Oliver Ullrich, Otto-von-Guericke-University, Magdeburg, Germany Co-I: Dr. Cora Thiel, University of Zürich, Switzerland PM: Rainer Treichel
The mission objective of Flumias-DEA is to demonstrate the technology for miniaturized fluorescence microscopy in space by observing two scientific samples in a temperaturecontrolled environment. One sample is of fixed (dead) cells and the second sample is of live cells. It is a DLR precursor mission to pave the way for a much more complex mission in which results could provide a foundation for a scalable and powerful fluorescence microscope which provides 3D imaging of biological samples.
Megachile rotundata Proprioception and Flight Patterns in Microgravity
PI: Michelle Lucas
The objective of the Megachile rotundata Proprioception and Flight Patterns in Microgravity experiment is to observe the behavior and flight patterns of alfalfa leaf cutting bees (Megachile Rotunda, a.k.a. ALCB) in the microgravity environment. M. Rotunda is an efficient pollinator though it is solitary and does not build colonies or store honey. Data to be examined during the life of the experiment includes flight patterns, feeding behavior (somatosensory functionality), proprioception, general locomotion, and any morphological changes. Better understanding the behavior and physiological changes of bees in space (for which ALCB provide an excellent baseline given their standard bee physiology) has practical application in the future of horticulture and agriculture on earth and in space. The experiment seeks to determine the effects of extraterrestrial conditions – including microgravity – on the flight and feeding patterns, proprioception, adaption, and lifespan of the Megachile rotundata Alfalfa Leaf Cutter Bee. The experiment has impacts on agricultural practices on Earth, in space, and beyond, as well as providing insight as to the impacts of earthbound forces on proprioception and orientation.
Growth of Assorted Microgreens in Microgravity
PI: Ted Tagami
The Growth of Assorted Microgreens in Microgravity studies the morphology and physiology of the germination of four different microgreens within modular growth chambers in microgravity. The seeds are placed under automatic growth lighting conditions to provide day and night lighting cycles that simulate successful terrestrial lighting. While imaging and numerous environmental sensors provide incremental evaluation of the plant growth on the International Space Station, multiple terrestrial control experiments will be conducted for comparison. The Growth of Assorted Microgreens in Microgravity experiment demonstrates modular, autonomous and retrievable crop research in space by contributing to the understanding of plant cultivation in service of food, oxygen and other habitat requirements on long term space missions. This experiment also provides insight on plant grown under unusual conditions and can inform crop science, basic biology and horticultural applications on Earth.

Probable Cause Approval Date: 11/29/2007
Aircraft: Champion 7KCAB, registration: N827BM
Injuries: 1 Serious.
NTSB investigators may not have traveled in support of this investigation and used data provided by various sources to prepare this aircraft accident report.
The pilot was performing a go-around, the airplane stalled, and collided with the trees. The pilot was landing at his destination. One side of the airport contained trees and a house and the south side had a clear approach to the runway. The pilot decided to land to the north; however, by doing so he encountered a left, quartering tailwind. During the landing, the airplane was blown from the runway by a gust of wind and the pilot attempted a go-around. The airplane stalled and collided with trees. The pilot said that there were no mechanical malfunctions. The pilot did not hold a current medical as was required for the accident flight.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during go-around which resulted in a stall. The tailwind was a factor. Full narrative available

On February 24, 2007, Japan launched a spy satellite into orbit, presumably to help keep track of threats to Japan from their neighbors China and North Korea. Maybe Russia, too. Since the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in the “Space Race” in the late 1950’s and 1960’s, several other nations have joined the club of nations with the ability to launch rockets into outer space. Used for weather monitoring, Earth mapping, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), research, communications (radio, telephone, television, digital), exploring other planets and even beyond, and spying on other countries, space programs have many applications. The spying done by satellites comes in many forms, such as visual/optic, infrared, communications/signal gathering, and radiation detecting.
Of course, the sinister application is using space technology to deliver weapons against other countries or even the space craft of other countries. Any country that can put a satellite in orbit also has the capability to drop a weapon anywhere on the Earth, with the implication that any country capable of manufacturing a nuclear weapon and that also has the ability to launch an object of the weight of that nuclear weapon can also drop a nuke anywhere in the world. Most of the nations of the Earth have agreed to keep space weapon free, with such measures as the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space and various treaties, but loopholes and willful ignoring of agreements threaten to make space a combat arena anyway. President Trump has expressed his intention of establishing “Space Force” to militarize the American space program. So what countries have developed a space program?
Having been born before any country had ever launched an object into space, it astounds this author that 72 nations today have a “space program,” and 14 countries have the ability to launch an object into space. Only 6 of those countries have a truly substantial space program, capable of launching and recovering people and or satellites into and from space and operate spacecraft.
In 1957 the USSR humiliated the United States by becoming the first country to launch a satellite into outer space when they launched Sputnik 1 into orbit around the Earth, followed soon after by a dog, named Laika, which became the first live Earth animal to orbit the Earth in space. The USSR continued its space dominance by fielding the very first Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) in 1959, terrifying the Americans. The next major coup for the Soviet space program in 1961, was the launching of a human being into space in orbit around the Earth and returning that person, Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, safely to Earth. In 1963, the Soviets claimed another space first by rocketing a female cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova, into space to become the world’s first space woman. The Soviets and then the Russians continued a vigorous space program, especially in regards to developing spy satellites and space stations, which continues today.
After an embarrassing start to the Space Race, the US achieved the Grand Prize (so far) of space accomplishments by landing men on the Moon and safely returning them to the Earth, starting in 1969. The US and Russia have joined in numerous cooperative efforts since, including the International Space Station. The American Space Shuttle program was once a shining jewel in the American space program but was marred by 2 infamous fatal accidents. After a hiatus from actually launching our own payloads after the Space Shuttle program was retired, the US is set to start launching its own rockets once again. The American national space program, called NASA, is being supplemented by private space exploration and adventure firms that promise civilian trips into space. Working on plans to get humans to Mars is a major goal, while researching asteroids, other planets, and life in space aboard the International Space Station remain ongoing projects. Probes sent beyond our solar system also remain on the agenda.
China was interested in developing ICBM’s as early as the 1950’s, but did not keep pace with the US and USSR in the Space Race. By 2003, China had made tremendous strides in closing the space technology gap and joined the club for launching humans into space. Their space agency, the China National Space Administration (CNSA), plans on sending manned missions to the Moon and establishing their own space stations within the next few years. They have also landed an unmanned probe on the “dark side” of the moon. The Chinese plan to carry out manned missions to Mars between 2040 and 2060.
European Space Agency.
The ESA is a consortium of 22 European countries, headquartered in Paris, France, and united to pool their resources to conduct the exploration and exploitation of space. The ESA has no overtly military aspects, as do the other national space programs, and claims to seek the development of space technology for peaceful and commercial goals. Included among their activities (according to the ESA) are: Observing the Earth, Human Spaceflight, Launchers, Navigation, Space Science, Space Engineering & Technology, Operations, Telecommunications & Integrated Applications, Preparing for the Future and Space for Climate. Not surprisingly they are also closely involved in the International Space Station. France is the largest financial contributor (28% of the budget) and Germany is the second largest contributor (22% of the budget). Canada and Slovenia are sort of junior members of the organization as well.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the replacement (1969) for the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) that was formed in 1962. India launched their first satellite in 1975, but only by having a Soviet launch vehicle (rocket) do the lifting. By 1980, India had developed their own launch system capability and performed their first domestic space launch. India now has a thriving space program that includes communication and navigation satellites, research missions to Mars and in 2017 made space flight history by launching a rocket that delivered a staggering 100 satellites into space on one single launch! In fact, they have developed the ability to launch a 4 ton heavy satellite, making them a serious contender in the world of lifting heavy objects into space. On their agenda is developing a manned space program and developing reusable rockets and systems.
Like many other countries, Japan became interested in the science of rocketry and the possibility of going into outer space during the 1950’s. By the 1960’s, Japan had a pair of space agencies, the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) and the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), working on the technology of exploring and exploiting space. A third Japanese space agency was formed, called National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan (NAL), but between the 3 success remained elusive until all the agencies were combined into a single Japanese space agency called the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in 2003. Finally experiencing consistent success in the 21st Century, the Japanese space program is aimed at developing commercial applications and a strong emphasis on military security (spy) satellites due to their proximity to North Korea, China, and Russia.
Question for students (and subscribers): Do you believe people should spend billions of dollars to explore space? Should people try to travel to Mars? Do you believe other countries will respect the peaceful use of space? Please let us know in the comments section below this article.

Becoming a drone navigator.
Business type : Passion, professional services.
Most suitable for : People who can afford a drone and who have a government exemption for flying drones commercially. US citizens can apply for it on www.faa.gov
What is the business?
This business is simple to understand. All you have to learn here is to use small-sized drones with a camera. You can start two kinds of business with drones.
1. As a commercial service for companies, cinema industries, and heavy machinery factories.
— This is the most profitable drone business idea. You can actually start a company of your own that provides commercial drone navigation services. It works. Why? because very few people know about it and very few people hold flying exception for drones from their governments.
— Many multi national companies use commercial drones to promote their products. Some of them need drone navigation usage daily. You will have to offer them your drone services even if they are not using it.
— Cinema industry is mad with commercial drone navigation. But there are already so many commercial drone operators who offer services to bigger production houses. You will have to start asking people who run TV serials, small programs or even famous YouTube channels. You can charge 3000$- 5000$ for a single drone operation.
— Heavy machinery industries are also potential targets for your drone navigation business. They can use your drone footage when they face technical problems with their machines.
2. As a passion
— You don’t need any kind of certification from the governments if you want to navigate/operate drones as your hobby. Buy a drone with HD camera.
— This is a good idea if you think you are a creative person. You can shoot some really awesome footage of exotic places and people using your drones, and you can either sell the footage or upload it on YouTube to earn money through monetization. Be sure not to fly them in ‘no drone zones.
— This works better if you already have a famous platform like a blog or a YouTube channel where you can share your videos.
How much does it cost me to start a drone business?
Good quality drones with camera normally cost about 400$- 700$. Cheaper drones are available from 30$ onwards, but it is hard to trust the quality of such drones. Their operation needs some more money. You can actually set up your drone business under 2000$. Learn to navigate them first. Buy cheaper drones to learn. Good place to buy the good quality drones is amazon. Why? because you can compare different types and different companies at a single place. Make sure they have good reviews before buying them.
This is DJI phantom 3 quadcopter. Most of the commercial drone navigators use such drone.
How do I advertise about my company?
1. I would not prefer going public, since there is a chance of getting a competition. Instead, I would start reaching out to the companies in person. Most of them will agree to your business proposal when they see your drones flying in air.
2. Your hot spots for business opportunities are down below
– Film industry.
– Mapping and geological marking.
– Construction industry and heavy machinery.
– Sports events.
– Marriages, fests, parties, college functions.. etc
– Stock photo and video footage selling.
– Tourism industry.
– Bungee jumping and other such private adventure spots.
– Commercials for private companies and enterprises. | aerospace | 1 |

The Twin Paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity when one twin travels to outer space while the other twin stays on Earth. When the space bound twin lands back on Earth, he'll find that his Earthbound twin has aged much more than he has. Why is that? Watch this video to find out the simple explanation with animated cartoons. [Kuriositas via Neatorama]
NASA should not train astronauts that have twin brothers because that eventually could destroy the world or something like that, the universe just don't like paradoxes.
Also, that "paradox" have real world effects. The GPS system must have to take it into account to work. | aerospace | 1 |
http://pugetsoundblogs.com/waterways/2017/01/30/amusing-monday-playing-with-water-in-the-weightlessness-of-space/ | 2017-05-22T21:30:36 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607120.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20170522211031-20170522231031-00196.warc.gz | 0.953237 | 748 | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-22__0__213705118 | en | Since the beginning of the manned space program, astronauts have been playing with water in microgravity conditions. The result has been a large assortment of videos demonstrating the unique and amusing properties of water.
In the first video on this page, Chris Hadfield, an astronaut with the Canadian Space Agency demonstrates what happens aboard the International Space Station when you ring out a soaked wash cloth in the weightlessness of space.
The experiment was suggested by students Kendra Lemke and Meredith Faulkner of Lockview High School in Fall River, Nova Scotia. It was posted on YouTube in 2013.
The video shows that the surface tension of water is great enough that the water keeps clinging when Hadfield rings out the cloth. If you watch closely, however, you can see a few droplets fly off when he starts to ring out the cloth.
In the second video, British astronaut Tim Peake of the UK Space Agency bats around a sphere of water with something like ping pong paddles. In this case, the paddles are made of hydrophobic material, so the water does not cling. He also adds a fizzy tablet, like an Alka-Selzer, to the floating sphere and watches the result.
I think the astronauts are having as much fun with these “experiments” as the kids watching them back home. In this case, there was a video link during a “Cosmic Classroom” event last year at the World Museum in Liverpool. Peake’s full 20-minute presentation — with some wonderfully amusing questions from kids — can be found on YouTube.
Speaking of having fun in a weightless condition, a team of researchers aboard a DC-9 in freefall popped about 50 water balloons during successive trips in the 1990s to see what would happen.
Led by fluid-mechanics engineer Mark Weislogel, these researchers called this science, but I think they were just enjoying themselves — and making a mess while doing it. A little stray water didn’t seem to bother them, compared to the astronauts in space, who try to corral as much of the water as they can. Weislogel talks about many experiments, both simple and complex, in a 2014 PDXtalk sponsored by Portland State University, where he has worked the past 15 years.
Astronauts accustomed to drinking coffee on Earth have complained that it is not the same in space, where one typically drinks with a straw to avoid spills. For one thing, a coffee drinker usually likes to experience the aroma of coffee, which is not the same through a straw. Engineers figured out that a container with a sharp enough angle will cause the coffee to wick up, so it can be sipped from the container, as shown in the video featuring astronaut Don Pettit aboard the ISS in 2002. Later, designer Travis Baldwin created an actual coffee mug for space based on the same design.
Finally, if you ever wondered what boiling water would look like in space, NASA ran a series of experiments from 1992 to 1996. On Earth, convection causes hotter regions of the liquid to rise while cooler, denser regions sink. Once bubbles forms, buoyancy causes the bubbles to rise rapidly to the surface. In a weightless state, the heat spreads in all directions, and bubbles don’t rise but join together to make a bigger bubble.
The actual experiments in space, shown in the last video, used a Freon coolant as the liquid to demonstrate the effects. Freon has a lower boiling point, so less heat is needed to get the same result. The experiment is described in NASA’s Science Beta series. | aerospace | 1 |

Chapter 5 discussed the concept of sailing, first on Earth seas with conventional sailboats, then by extending the concept to space; there, the first similarities and differences between sea sailcraft and space sailcraft were emphasized. Chapter 6 detailed the principles of space sailing. Now we discuss what a space sail actually means through the great impact it can have on the design of the different systems, which is not as obvious as it might seem.

Comets are spectacular phenomena in the sky and among them, some are even more spectacular: Comet McNaught or C/2006 P1 is one of them with a giant tail looking like a bird’s wing. It was visible with naked eye from the Southern hemisphere between December 2006 and January 2007.
Another one was the comet of the year 1744 or C/1743 X1 (Klinkenberg), also known as Comet de Chéseaux or Comet Klinkenberg-Chéseaux whose tail looked like fingers above the horizon. Like all those „Great Comets“, it was visible even at daylight and with naked eye. It had been discovered in late November 1743 independently by Jan de Munck, in the second week of December by Dirk Klinkenberg, and, four days later, by Jean-Philippe de Chéseaux, as said in Wikipedia.
Now, scientists have given an explanation how a comet’s tail can break up in this manner. Oliver Price, a planetary science Ph.D. student at University College London’s Mullard Space Science Laboratory in the United Kingdom, used observatory and spacecraft photos and modern image-processing techniques.
McNaught was a particularly good subject for this type of study. Its brightness and high dust production made it much easier to resolve the evolution of fine structures in its dust tail.
Comets are cosmic crumbs of frozen gas, rock and dust left over from the formation of our solar system 4.6 billion years ago – and so they may contain important clues about our solar system’s early history. When a comet’s elliptical orbit brings it close to the Sun, intense heat vaporizes the frozen gases and releases the dust within, which streams behind the comet, forming two distinct tails: an ion tail carried by the solar wind (the constant flow of charged particles from the Sun) and a dust tail.
Price compiled all the images from satellites and space observatories into one simulation of the tail. He created videos to track the formation and evolution of these structures, showing how dust fragments topple off the comet head and collapse into long striations.
The simulations clearly show that the current sheet was the culprit behind the disruptions in the dust tail. The current sheet (about 10,000 km thick) is where the solar wind’s magnetic field changes orientation. For the two days while the comet traversed the current sheet, whenever dust encountered the changing magnetic conditions there, it was jolted out of its original positions and replaced in the new structures.
„It’s like the striation’s feathers are ruffled when it crosses the current sheet,“ University College London planetary scientist Geraint Jones said. „If you picture a wing with lots of feathers, as the wing crosses the sheet, lighter ends of the feathers get bent out of shape.“
It was not a surprise to see that also dust particles can be charged. New was that the solar wind can even push particles in the size of those from McNaught. They are about
100 times bigger and heavier than usual celestial grains.
Understanding how dust behaves in the tail – how it fragments and clumps together – can teach scientists a great deal about similar processes that formed asteroids and even planets billions of years ago. The sun has played a role also in this process.

The French manufacturer Safran Aircraft Engines and the Indian aviation company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to study the manufacturing of components and the assembly of the M88 engine designed by Safran in India. A transfer of technology is being considered.
That initiative would help power a potential second batch of Dassault Rafale fighter jets ordered for the Indian Air Force, or “any aircraft manufactured in India by HAL fitted with M88.” Indian authorities and their French counterparts are reportedly discussing an arms contract that could include a second batch of 36 Rafales.
Additionally, the agreement includes a partnership between HAL and Safran for the elaboration of the indigenous design of a 110 kN high thrust engine. Such a component could power the future Advance Medium Combat Aircraft [AMCA], a 5th generation fighter-bomber developed by HAL.
“Considering the country's future requirement of fighter aircraft, this augurs well for self-reliance in the engine domain and also opens up possible opportunities for India to export,” commented Safran.

The proposed system can automatically analyze the terrain of the landing area through onboard real-time calculation, search feasible landing points and then implement autonomous landing. Mounted with a low-cost stereo RGB-D camera for depth sensing and streaming, the system implements real-time 3D terrain reconstruction of landing area and obtains low-noise depth image of the terrain by utilizing a truncated signed distance function (TSDF) based method. A real-time fine search policy is also specifically designed in order to seek out a suitable landing location according to the shape of the landing gear. Finally, the safe landing of the unmanned rotorcraft is completed by a cascaded PID (proportional-integral-differential) controller. Based on the DJI Matrice 100 quadcopter, the autonomous and safe landing is achieved not only in a customized simulator for algorithm evaluation, but also in a realistic rugged terrain situation. With further optimization, this work can provide safe and effective solutions for unmanned rotorcrafts in emergency landing, delivery and post-disaster rescue.

After the war, he attended the University of Missouri and received a BS in Electrical Engineering in 1950. He joined Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1953, and worked in the Aerospace Division, Balitmore, Maryland, until his retirement in 1986.
During his Westinghouse career, Stan served as Program Manager of the Apollo TV Lunar Camera which recorded Neil Armstrong's first steps on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969. Subsequent camera programs he managed for NASA were the Apollo Color TV Cameras, the Skylab series of TV cameras, and the TV cameras for the Apollo-Soyuz U. S. -Soviet Cooperative Space Program (ASTP). The four on-board flight TV cameras were designed to operate and transmit from both the Apollo and Soyuz spacecrafts and capable of being remotely controlled from earth when operating in either spacecraft.
The ASTP launch of the Apollo spacecraft was the first time that an on-board Command Module flight TV camera provided a live telecast of the astronauts from the moment of launch and continued throughout the launch phase.
In addition, Stan was tasked to coordinate the worldwide television transmission for the TV signals transmitted from the Soyuz and Apollo when received in the Soviet Union and the United States. The signals were processed to satisfy the worldwide formats and retransmitted to the worldwide audience.
In 1986, Stan retired from Westinghouse as a member of the Program Management team that successfully completed and launched an Air Force Satellite Special Program.
Stan is the founder and first president of the Friends Anne Arundel County Trails. He is the Manager of the Planet Walk program to create a Linear Solar System Museum on the B&A Trail where the 3.7 billion mile solar system including the Sun and nine planets are located on the trail and scaled to a distance of 4.6 miles. The Planet Walk is designed as an educational tool for students of all ages.
Note added 23 December 2009. We have the following from Stan's son Mark:
"As many of you know, Dad has been fighting lung cancer for the past 17 years. 2 1/2 weeks ago he had a right lung lobectomy. He came home and was recovering very nicely. Unfortunately he suffered a cardiac arrest and died at 1:30pm today USEST). he wanted me to notify (his friends in the space community) as early as possible ... He lived his life on his terms and with a great sense of humor. Thank you for being his friends.Rest in Peace, Stan.

Stavatti Aerospace is engaged in the design of manned & unmanned military aircraft, commercial aircraft, executive aircraft, general aviation aircraft & a host of single stage to orbit vehicles for military & commercial spaceflight. Records show it was established in 1994 and incorporated in Minnesota. Stavatti Aerospace Ltd was estimated to generate $1.5 million in annual revenues, and employ approximately 25 people at this single location. Stavatti Aerospace,is famous for its extravagant claims about advanced aircraft and weapons.
In March 2003, DefRev broke the story on the Stavatti TIS-1 (Tactical Infantry System -1) Gasdynamic Laser Rifle "white paper". The (exclusive) article, itself, was titled "Stavatti Tactical Infantry System-1(TIS-1) Gasdynamic Laser Rifle ‘White Paper’." It actually created quite a stir, particularly after Slashdot.org picked up on the story and published a blurb containing a link to the article. The blurb was titled "Contractor Proposes Laser Rifles for U.S. Military". DefenseReview.com does not stand behind/support any of Stavatti’s claims regarding the TIS-1 or SF-1 laser rifles. DefRev is just reporting, and letting readers decide.
There is a big difference between designing an airplane and building a fancy fighter. One observere noted "This looks more like a cool fan site than a real company..." Another suggested "I think the only reason it is there is to attract dumb investors who likes to be fooled."
Another observer opined "The amount of aeronautical boilerplate BS on that site is truly astounding, and basically reads like it was copy-pasted from portions of Wikipedia articles. This is a hoax on a truly amusing level; there is no way in hell that these jokers are actually developing this aircraft as anything other than a flight simulator add-on. It really seems like a scam designed to swindle know-nothing investors out of their money, and I'm moderately surprised that the SEC or other agency hasn't come down on them.... References to ICBMs and laser rifles have since been deleted from the company's website."
Deane Joyce was the COO of TEAM-Stavatti.
Stavatti Aerospace entered the Javelin into the USAF Advanced Pilot Training Program (T-X) competition. The Stavatti Javelin is a new twin-engine, two-seat, high performance military jet trainer and Very Light Fighter (VLF) aircraft. Derived from the ATG Javelin Mk-30, the Javelin will be a candidate for the USAF T-X trainer requirement, as well as a trainer and VLF that can be sold to allied air forces worldwide.
The Javelin project began in 1998 with the formation of Aviation Technology Group (ATG) in Englewood, Colorado. Intended as a two-seat civil jet sportplane, the original ATG-1 Javelin mockup was unveiled and displayed at the NBAA convention in 2002. With orders for 151 aircraft by 2003, in 2004 ATG announced a partnership with Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) to develop and produce a family of two seat military jet trainers designated the Javelin Mk-20 and Mk-30. The prototype Javelin had its maiden flight on 30 September 2005. In December 2007 ATG ceased business operations after failing to raise additional development capital, ultimately declaring bankruptcy in 2008.

Starlink, SpaceX's budding satellite broadband service, will need to pick up the pace of satellite launches – and do so soon – if it's to have a chance of fulfilling its ambition to become a global provider of broadband services using a mesh of thousands of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, surmises MoffettNathanson.
And the pace isn't just about getting those LEOs into orbit. It's also about getting enough of them into orbit fast enough to replace the ones that eventually fall out of orbit and burn up in the Earth's atmosphere.
Starlink's first mission of 2022 launched another 49 satellites into orbit, extending its grand total to nearly 2,000. But since completing its first orbital shell of about 1,600 satellites last May, "Starlink's launch frequency has slowed dramatically with only four rocket launches over the past seven months, or roughly one every seven weeks," Craig Moffett, analyst at MoffettNathanson, explained in the note, which was distributed to registered users via email.
Moffett also points out that the new Starlink V1.5 satellites are heavier, leading to fewer satellites per launch. He estimates that SpaceX would need to "drastically increase launch frequency to once every seven days for five consecutive years" just to have enough satellites in orbit for a planned constellation of 12,000 by its FCC deadline of 2027. But that won't be enough to replace the LEO satellites that fall out of orbit during that time.
"By the end of 2030, just nine years from now, they would have had to launch nearly 23,000 satellites in support of a 12,000 bird constellation," Moffett estimates. "This leaves no margin for error; likely impossible, given the launch schedule depends heavily on weather conditions."
That analysis is largely based on the ongoing use of the Falcon 9 rocket to deliver Starlink birds into orbit. Starlink hopes to beef up its capabilities with Starship, a larger launch vehicle that's had its share of troubles, with an orbital test flight that could take place as soon as March.
But Moffett argues that Starship isn't necessarily the answer to the problem, considering that new V2.0 satellites will be perhaps four times as massive as previous generation Starlink birds.
Starlink's satellite launch cadence challenge hasn't been lost on Elon Musk. In November 2021, he distributed a companywide email holding that a production crisis centered on the Starship engine puts SpaceX on a path to "genuine risk of bankruptcy if we cannot achieve a Starship flight rate of at least once every two weeks next year."
Noting that Musk's comment has largely been dismissed as hyperbole, Moffett also points out that Musk has conceded that a proposed 12,000-satellite constellation still won't be enough to deliver the required capacity, suggesting that a version 2 constellation might entail 30,000 satellites.
Starlink's 'forever' problem
"Even using Starship, at 100 satellites per launch, achieving a 30,000-bird constellation and sustaining it through, say, 2030, would require launching fifty thousand satellites, or five hundred rockets, between now and then," Moffett estimates. "That's a rocket launch roughly every six days... for nine years. Simply maintaining the constellation thereafter, if one assumes 20% annual attrition (de-orbiting), would require a new launch every six days. Forever."
Moffett writes that launch frequency is just part of it. SpaceX, he explains, will also need to beef up manufacturing capacity and manage tricky supply chain logistics to pull off the needs for Starlink as well as SpaceX's clients.
Based on $30 million per launch, Moffett estimates that it would cost about $15 billion to build a constellation of 30,000 satellites, with satellite replacement (production and launch) alone costing more than $3.6 billion per year.
Though SpaceX was recently valued at over $100 billion, Moffett is concerned that investors have yet to "come to grips with all of the implications" of the audaciousness of the company's ambitions.

Finding the proper plane, route, and convenient place of departure and landing can take a lot of time. It is possible to charter a private jet directly with Monarch Air Group, the leading on-demand air charter, and private jet solutions provider.
The charter jet rules may be more relaxed than those of commercial airlines. Also, a private jet charter is considered safe and efficient travel. Our charter expert will contact you and offer different private jet options and a price tailored to your budget and particular preferences.
Why Charter a Private Jet?
There are a few things to consider before you charter a private jet. If you decide to fly privately, the first step is to contact us, who will help you book the best private jet.
What Type of Private Jet Should I Charter?
- Turboprop. Turboprop aircrafts are among the most reliable and economical in business aviation. In addition, turboprops are more economical to rent with a similar level of comfort, reliability, and safety to jets.
- Light jet. Light jets allow you to fly short distances with luggage and extra passengers. The aircraft can land on a small airfield with a short runway and have a small kitchen and an enlarged luggage compartment. The light jet is suitable for short journeys within the United States.
- Midsize jet. Midsize jets fly short and long distances, crossing entire oceans and continents. It is the optimal choice for people in business and top managers. The plus side is increased overhead space and a spacious baggage compartment.
- Super-midsize jet. Super-midsize jets are characterized by an increased range compared to light jets and guarantee more comfort on board than midsize jets. In several models, seats can be transformed into a sofa and even beds. The cabin is spacious, with a flat floor and wide seats for comfortable movement.
- Heavy jet. Heavy jets are designed for transcontinental travel. The main advantage of heavy-class business jets is the cabin’s spaciousness and large capacity. There are upholstered armchairs, berths, lounge areas, bar counters, and a full bathroom on board.
- Ultra-long-range jet. The most exciting innovations and technologies are being introduced for ultra-long range jets. These are private jets for long-range travel, which makes it possible to find onboard showers, relaxation areas, bedrooms, restrooms, and showers. Not least, a robust Wi-Fi module is installed on board, and you can control the cabin from your smartphone.
Hire a Private Jet and Charter Payment
Once a suitable jet for a private flight according to your needs has been selected, the most crucial step comes – calculating the cost to charter a private jet and paying for the charter flights. Our specialists will prepare a contract, signed either physically or with an electronic signature application. Then, you can pay for charter a private jet by bank transfer, credit or debit card.
How far in advance do I need to book a charter?
Unlike commercial aviation, there is no financial incentive to charter a private jet flight several months in advance, so you can contact us as soon as you decide to fly. Early booking depends on how popular the route is. Chartering a private jet charter 6 hours before your flight is usually possible.
Check All the Details of Your Trip
During the booking phase, let our experts know the details of your trip. We can choose the best aircraft for any number of luggage and passengers, but it is extremely important to notify in advance. If you are traveling with dogs, cats, or other animals, we will create the necessary environment and individual nutrition to minimize stress for your pet.
The quality of service on board jet charter is high, and the staff act under international norms, creating the most comfortable customer atmosphere. You can choose the number of crew members independently. On wide screens, video and audio systems are available aboard modern jets when traveling with children. Moreover, Wi-Fi service may be available, which, if desired, is paid for after the flight.
Charter a Private Jet with Monarch Air Group
Monarch Air Group offers a full range of services from individual aircraft charter to an organization of group flights. We fulfill clients’ requests of any complexity thanks to our rich experience, knowledge of many aspects of this activity, and availability of the necessary technical resources. As a result, chartering a private jet can be profitable for business on board and relaxation. | aerospace | 1 |

The contract — under a Foreign Military Sales arrangement — is worth $253 million and is part of Saudi Arabia’s modernization program for the aircraft.
Lockheed said its 360-degree full mission trainers will enable pilots to complete air-to-air combat, air-to-surface missions, air combat maneuvers and tactical intercepts training. The systems will feature a single dome over the dual-seat cockpit and desktop trainers for procedure training will also part of the package.
Virtual maintenance training systems will include systems will cover areas such as basic maintenance, landing gear and arresting hook, armament and flight controls.
“The complement of F-15SA training systems starts with desktop trainers and progressively increases in capability to full mission weapons systems trainers,” said Jim Weitzel, vice president of training solutions for Lockheed Martin’s Mission Systems and Training business. “This creates a cost-effective program since the appropriate level of technology is applied to meet the training objectives.”
The trainers are to be delivered to Saudi Arabia by 2020.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, ISRO said: “Vikram Lander exceeded its mission objectives. It successfully underwent a hop experiment. On command, it fired the engines, elevated itself by about 40 cm as expected and landed safely at a distance of 30 – 40 cm away.”
According to ISRO, this successful hop experiment proves that equipment engines can be refired after landing, thus boosting the possibility of sample return missions and human missions to the moon in future.
Meanwhile, a few days back on Saturday, September 2, ISRO had announced that the Pragyaan rover has completed its tasks on the moon and has been put into sleep mode for the duration of one lunar night. Since its exit from the Vikram lander onto the moon’s surface, up until the moment where it went to sleep – a lot of exciting new information has been revealed from Pragyan and Vikram’s adventures. According to ISRO chairman S Somnath, the rover has traversed over 100 metres on the lunar surface at a speed of 1 cm per second. ISRO announced that analysis of the “first-ever in-situ measurements on the elemental composition of the surface near the south pole” has revealed a variety of chemicals, including sulphur and oxygen, in the lunar soil. Additionally, the Pragyan rover also captured a natural phenomenon occurring at the moon's south pole. ISRO has initiated an investigation to determine the source of this event.
ISRO has confirmed that the Pragyan rover's battery is now at full charge, and its solar panel has been positioned to harness incoming sunlight during the anticipated sunrise on September 22, 2023. Being a solar-powered engine, both the Vikram lander and the Pragyan rover have been recently put to sleep mode, to endure the lunar night, which roughly equals 14 Earth days. However, the mission objectives of Chandrayaan-3 have been fulfilled, with a bonus “hop experiment”, making this lunar mission truly successful. As such, any data extracted post the reawakening on September 22 would be a bonus.

Famously Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has suggested that his aircraft could soon offer standing room for ultra-budget passengers, with the ‘seats’ selling for as little as £5.
A standing seat configuration is considered by aviation insiders to have no chance of being approved by UK air safety regulator the CAA.
Nevertheless, Aviointeriors has pressed ahead with designs for its high density ‘stand up seat’ known as SkyRider offering a 23-inch pitch.
“The SkyRider is intended as a new basic class. The passenger’s seating position is similar to that of a touring motor-scooter rider,” the company said.
“This posture permits that the overall longitudinal space occupied by the seat with the seated passenger is far less than that of a conventional, very high density 28-inch economy class seat.”
The SkyRider has been designed and engineered to offer airlines the chance to further cut ticket prices by introducing an super-high density seating.
“With a much reduced seat pitch, the SkyRider preserves a comfortable position for the low fare passengers,” Avioninteriors claimed.
“Furthermore, in the SkyRider arrangement, a partial overlapping of the passengers seating between rows is allowed, thus further increasing the cabin density.”
The company said it was responding to demand from airlines to reduce ticket prices while still maintaining “sound profitability” which, even with a dual or three class seating arrangement, will allow maximum certified passenger capacity of the aircraft.
The design allows for space beneath the seat for a carry on bag.
The company’s research and development director Gaetano Perugini said SkyRider passengers would “assume a dynamic upright position, which is no only comfortable but also very healthy”. | aerospace | 1 |

The launch vehicle Ariane 5 VA-251 lifted off from Kourou Launch Base, French Guiana at 2:35 am IST carrying India's GSAT-30 and Eutelsat Konnect.
According to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the 'flawless flight' lasted about 38 minutes and 25 seconds. After the flight, GSAT-30 separated from the Ariane 5 upper stage in an elliptical Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit.
GSAT 30 will replace INSAT-4A in orbit
With a lift-off mass of 3357 kg, GSAT-30 will provide continuity to operational services on some of the in-orbit satellites. GSAT-30 derives its heritage from ISRO's earlier INSAT/GSAT satellite series and will replace INSAT-4A in orbit.
Isro chairman K Sivan said in a statement, "GSAT-30 has a unique configuration of providing flexible frequency segments and flexible coverage. The satellite will provide communication services to Indian mainland and islands through Ku-band and wide coverage covering Gulf countries, a large number of Asian countries and Australia through C-band."
GSAT-30 will provide:
- DTH Television Services.
- Connectivity to VSATs for ATM.
- Television uplinking and Teleport Services.
- Digital Satellite News Gathering (DSNG)
- e-governance applications.
- The satellite will also be used for bulk data transfer for a host of emerging telecommunication applications.
This was an excellent start of 2020 with an excellent launch using Ariane 5 - the most reliable launcher - P Kunhikrishnan, the Director of ISRO's UR Rao Satellite Centre.
"On behalf of the ISRO Chairman, I want to thank Arianespace for a wonderful and professional job - both in the preflight preparations and during the launch," P Kunhikrishnan added.
ISRO's Master Control Facility (MCF) at Hassan, Karnataka took over the command and control of GSAT-30 immediately after its separation from the launch vehicle. Preliminary health checks of the satellite revealed its normal health.
Satellite to be operational after completion of all in-orbit tests
In the days ahead, orbit-raising manoeuvres will be performed to place the satellite in Geostationary Orbit (36,000 km above the equator) by using its onboard propulsion system.
During the final stages of its orbit raising operations, the two solar arrays and the antenna reflectors of GSAT-30 will be deployed. Following this, the satellite will be put in its final orbital configuration. The satellite will be operational after the successful completion of all in-orbit tests.
— Arianespace (@Arianespace) January 16, 2020
GSAT-30, 24th ISRO satellite orbited by Ariane-series launchers
The GSAT-30 was the 24th ISRO satellite orbited by Ariane-series launchers, tracing the relationship back to India's APPLE small experimental communications spacecraft, lofted in 1981 by an Ariane 1 version, said Arianespace.
According to Arianespace, the Friday's successful launch kicks off its busy launch schedule in 2020, which targets a record mission count - with up to 12 opportunities identified from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana using Ariane 5, Soyuz or Vega; along with the maiden flights of Ariane 6 and Vega C; plus eight more from the cosmodromes at Baikonur and Vostochny.
Arianespace's next launch - Soyuz Flight ST27, scheduled for early February - will orbit OneWeb constellation satellites from Baikonur. This is to be followed by another February mission - Ariane 5's Flight VA252 from French Guiana - carrying JCSAT-17 for SKY Perfect JSAT and GEOKOMPSAT 2B for the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). | aerospace | 1 |

China is conducting preliminary research on a super-heavy launch vehicle that will be used in its manned missions to the moon.
"We are discussing the technological feasibility and requirements of the Long March-9, and research on the solutions to some technical difficulties have started," said Li Tongyu, head of aerospace products at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. "Its specifications will mostly be determined by a host of factors, including the government's space plan and the nation's overall industrial capability, as well as its engine's development."
The Long March-9's diameter and height will be much larger than those of the Long March-5, and its thrust will also be much stronger, he said.
"Our current launch vehicles, including the Long March-5, which is set to conduct its first launch soon, will be able to undertake the country's space activities planned for the coming 10 years, but for the nation's long-term space programs, their capabilities will not be enough," he added, emphasizing the necessity and significance of a super-heavy rocket.
"In addition, the cryogenic engine using liquid hydrogen fuel and liquid oxygen oxidizer (designed for the Long March-5) is not powerful enough for the Long March-9, so we need to develop a brand new engine for it to make sure the rocket has sufficient thrust."
Li's academy belongs to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, one of the major undertakers of China's space activities. It is also the leading space launch vehicle developer in China, producing all of the nation's strategic missiles and the Long March rocket family.
Li Jinghong, deputy chief designer of the Long March-3A at the academy, said estimates show the Long March-5 will have to use four launches to fulfill a manned mission to the moon while the Long March-9 will need only one.
The senior engineer noted that manned lunar missions will not be the sole use of the Long March-9, hinting that other deep-space exploration projects will also need the super-heavy vehicle.
"The diameter of the Long March-9 should be 8 to 10 meters, and its weight at launch should be at least 3,000 metric tons," he said.
According to an earlier report by China News Service, Liang Xiaohong, deputy head of the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, disclosed that the Long March-9 is planned to have a maximum payload of 130 tons and its first launch will take place around 2028.
Liang urged the government to include the Long March-9's development in its space agenda as soon as possible so that China's rocket technologies will not lag behind those of other space powers.
Once the Long March-9 is developed and put into service, China will be able to go deeper into space, as it has begun to draw an ambitious blueprint for exploration beyond the moon.
The China National Space Administration has started preliminary research for the Mars exploration program and is persuading the government to include the project into the country's space agenda, according to Tian Yulong, secretary-general of the administration.
In November, China made public a prototype of its Mars rover at an air show in Zhuhai, Guangdong province.
Peng Tao, a space expert at the China Academy of Space Technology, the nation's leading developer of spacecraft, said at the exhibition that the country plans to conduct a Mars mission around 2020, which will include orbiting, landing and roaming operations by an unmanned probe.
Saturn-5 has 5 sets of 677 ton thrust gas generator cycle of F-1 kerosene / lox rocket (total take-off thrust of 3385 tons), China's current CZ9 schemes is YF500 booster first stage + kerosene / lox rocket 8 sets of 490 ton pressure afterburning (total take-off thrust of 3920 tons). from the view of combustion cycle , high pressure of course is more advanced than the gas generator cycle.

The "long march 5" height 59.5 meters, takeoff weight of 643 tons, 833.8 tons of takeoff thrust. Compared with the existing carrier rocket, the new generation of carrier rockets near earth orbit carrying capacity from 10 tons now increased to 25 tons, a geosynchronous transfer orbit carrying capacity can be expanded from 5.5 tonnes to 14 tons.
Delta-4 geostationary earth orbit (GTO) (elliptical orbit between low earth orbit and geostationary orbit): 13130 kg (28950 pounds),Geostationary earth orbit (GEO) 6275 kg.The earth escape orbit: 9306 kg.
Delta-4 takeoff weight about 733000 kg, less than the shuttle (2040000 kg) less.
That is to say, the Long March-5 synchronous transfer orbit 14 tons more than the delta type 4 (US) 13.3 tons, 12 tons of Ariane- 5 improved (Europe), 9.5 tons of H2A (Japan).
Although the Long March-5 will be launched 2015, but payload is over delta 4 and the Ariane and H2A.
Another point to note, the Long March 5 takeoff weight although less than Delta, but large payload. In "China's efforts 中国力度" video said very clearly, the Long March 5 using YF100 engine specific thrust 10% larger than Europe and japan. At present China and Russia "high pressure staged combustion of kerosene / lox rocket" is the world's most advanced, which has the advanced "specific thrust" meaning that produce more 10% thrust as same received basis , in turn, my rockets can be a bit smaller.

Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi said Sriwijaya Air's Flight SJ182 was delayed for an hour before it took off at 2:36 p.m. The Boeing 737-500 disappeared from radar four minutes later, after the pilot contacted air traffic control to ascend to an altitude of 29,000 feet (8,839 meters), he said.
The airline said in a statement that the plane was on an estimated 90-minute flight from Jakarta to Pontianak, the capital of West Kalimantan province on Indonesia’s Borneo island. The plane was carrying 50 passengers and 12 crew members, all Indonesian nationals, including six extra crew for another trip.
Sumadi said a dozen vessels, including four warships, were deployed in a search-and-rescue operation centered between Lancang island and Laki island, part of the Thousand Islands chain just north of Jakarta.
Bambang Suryo Aji, the National Search and Rescue Agency’s deputy head of operations and preparedness, said rescuers collected plane debris and clothes that were found by fishermen. They handed the items over to the National Transportation Safety Committee for further investigation to determine whether they were from the missing plane.
A commander of one of the search-and-rescue ships who goes by a single name, Eko, said that fishermen found cables and pieces of metal in the water.
“The fishermen told us that they found them shortly after they heard an explosion like the sound of thunder,” Eko was quoted by TVOne as saying, adding that aviation fuel was found in the location where the fishermen found the debris.
Aji said no radio beacon signal had been detected from the 26-year-old plane. He said his agency was investigating why the plane's emergency locator transmitter, or ELT, was not transmitting a signal that could confirm whether it had crashed.
“The satellite system owned by neighboring Australia also did not pick up on the ELT signal from the missing plane,” Aji said.
Solihin, 22, a fisherman from Lancang Island, said he and two other fishermen heard an explosion around 30 meter from them.
“We thought it was a bomb or a tsunami since after that we saw the big splash from the water after the explosion. It was raining heavily and the weather was so bad. So it is difficult to see around clearly. But we can see the splash and a big wave after the sounds. We were very shocked and directly saw the plane debris and the fuel around our boat,” he said.
Tracking service Flightradar24 said on its Twitter feed that Flight SJ182 lost more than 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) of altitude in less than a minute, about four minutes after takeoff.
Sriwijaya Air President Director Jefferson Irwin Jauwena said the plane was airworthy. He told reporters that the plane had previously flown to Pontianak and Pangkal Pinang city on the same day.
“Maintenance report said everything went well and airworthy,” Jauwena told a news conference. He said the plane was delayed due to bad weather, not because of any damage.
It was raining at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport when the plane took off for Pontianak, around 740 kilometers (460 miles) away.
Television footage showed relatives and friends of people aboard the plane weeping, praying and hugging each other as they waited at airports in Jakarta and Pontianak.
Chicago-based Boeing said on its Twitter feed that it was aware of the incident. It said it was closely monitoring the situation and “working to gather more information.”
The twin-engine, single aisle Boeing 737 is one of the world’s most popular planes for short and medium-haul flights. The 737-500 is a shorter version of the widely used 737 model. Airlines began using this type of plane in the 1990s, with production ending two decades ago.
Federal Aviation Administration records indicate the plane that lost contact Saturday was first used by Continental Airlines in 1994. The registration switched briefly to United Airlines after the two merged, then it was sold to the Indonesian airline, which started using it in 2012.
Sriwijaya Air began operations in 2003 and flies to more than 50 destinations in Indonesia and a handful of nearby countries, according to its website. Its fleet includes a variety of 737 variants as well as the regional ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop plane.
The airline has had a solid safety record until now, with no onboard casualties in four incidents recorded on the Aviation Safety Network database, though a farmer was killed when a Boeing 737-200 left the runway in 2008 following a hydraulic problem.
Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago nation, with more than 260 million people, has been plagued by transportation accidents on land, sea and air because of overcrowding on ferries, aging infrastructure and poorly enforced safety standards.
In October 2018, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 jet operated by Lion Air plunged into the Java Sea just minutes after taking off from Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board. The plane involved in Saturday's incident did not have the automated flight-control system that played a role in the Lion Air crash and another crash of a 737 MAX 8 jet in Ethiopia five months later, leading to the grounding of the MAX 8 for 20 months.
The Lion Air crash was Indonesia's worst airline disaster since 1997, when 234 people were killed on a Garuda airlines flight near Medan on Sumatra island. In December 2014, an AirAsia flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore plunged into the sea, killing 162 people.
Indonesian airlines were previously banned from flying to the United States and European Union for not meeting international safety standards. Both have since lifted the ban, citing improvement in aviation safety and greater compliance with international standards.

For the 50-odd passengers of the national carrier, the experience was nothing short of an ordeal as they were informed mid flight that the aircraft had to return to Bhubaneswar immediately. The flight made the emergency landing at about 12.30 am.
The AI flight was to take off for the national capital at 8.50 pm, after a delay of about 25 minutes since it had arrived late. However, since the captain had reported technical problems __ unusual vibration of the body __ the engineer had to examine the aircraft which took about two to two and a half hours, sources said.
The flight took off for Delhi at 11.51 pm and about half an hour later, the captain of the flight announced that it had to return to Bhubaneswar because of technical issues. It landed back at Biju Patnaik Airport at about 12.30 am.
“The flight had developed technical issues and had to be grounded. Engineers are working on the issues,” Director of Biju Patnaik Airport Sharad Kumar said.
The passengers, however, had a scary time. According to Piyush Rout, the announcement from the pilot about the emergency landing came when the flight was midair. “We were asked to take off our seat belts and food was to be served when the passengers were told that the flight will return,” he said. In fact, the flight crew reportedly told the passengers that during the onward journey from Delhi to Bhubaneswar, the flight had developed snags and the landing was done with just one engine in functional state.
“When we were midair, passengers seated to the left of the aisle heard a noise from the engine, but it was difficult to know if there was any problem,” Rout said, adding that passengers were made to wait till 2.30 am.
Station Manager of Air India, Bhubaneswar, P C Sahoo said the carrier had reported some snags after its arrival from Delhi which is why the departure from Bhubaneswar was delayed. After it took off, the pilot apparently found certain flying parameters were not up to mark and decided to return. | aerospace | 1 |

Alphabet subsidiary Wing, which last year trialled a drone service in Canberra’s south in Bonython, intends to use the 9600m2 site in Vicars Street as its first long-term base of operations.
The warehouse requires a few slight modifications so it can be made into a drone delivery facility, including retrofitting to accommodate Wing’s drones and drone charging pads.
The approval comes with conditions including complying with any noise management or noise standards/requirements enforced by the federal regulator, Airservices Australia.
Noise was a key issue during the Bonython trial and Wing adjusted its propeller systems so its drones did not produce the high-pitched whine that has been the subject of so much criticism.
Aspiring drone delivery operator Wing unveiled its new quieter propeller system in the wake of complaints from its Bonython trial which were overwhelmingly about noise. Hear what CEO James Burgess has to say about the quieter drones and watch it take to the skies in the video below.
Posted by The RiotACT on Monday, March 11, 2019
Wing may also have to apply separately for a lease variation as the DA suggested a use of the site that may not be consistent with the Crown Lease.
A Wing spokesperson said: “Wing will meet the requirements of the development approval for our Mitchell site. We are looking forward to bringing Wing’s drone delivery service to the Gungahlin community and showcasing the future of faster, safer and more environmentally responsible delivery.”
The company has initiated the approval process with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Wing says that operating in a properly-zoned industrial area will allow it to provide a better service to local customers and to create more economic opportunities for local businesses while showcasing what a future of faster, safer and more environmentally-responsible delivery service looks like.
Wing also plans to co-locate its drone operations at the Mitchell site with a small number of food merchants, health and over-the-counter medicine merchants, as well as small businesses from the Mitchell and Gungahlin area. This required a change to the Building Classification from Class 7b (warehouse) to Class 8 (factory).
“Co-locating these merchants next to a drone operating area will allow Wing to deliver goods to customers more quickly, minimising drone flight times, and allow Canberra businesses to reach customers in a new way,” Wing says.
Other modifications include minor amendments to the primary façade fronting Vicars Street, reducing the existing plant room/store, constructing a new pump room and above ground water tank, relocating and enlarging the waste enclosure and installing additional site services.
Drones operating out of the Mitchell base will initially service households in the surrounding suburbs of Franklin, Crace, Palmerston, Harrison and Gungahlin.
Wing said in its submission to the Legislative Assembly inquiry that it was committed to continuing to work with Commonwealth and ACT regulators to ensure the safe integration of unmanned aircraft into the airspace, and to work closely with communities to manage and reduce any associated impacts.
“Wing strongly believes that by working together with regulators and communities, we can improve access to services, open up new economic opportunities, and better connect our cities.”
Wing is expected to unveil soon its new merchant partners and the products it will be delivering in its service area. It will also be ramping up its community engagement. | aerospace | 1 |

Fortunately, there are many different ways to learn how to fly aerobatics.
Whether you want to learn to perform flips and rolls, or you just want to fly high and fast, there are several good options available. You can choose to take classes at a professional school or learn at home.
The first step in becoming an aerobatic pilot is to get your pilot’s license. You can do this through an aerobatic flight school, or you can take a short introductory flight course. You can also choose to purchase a plane specifically designed for aerobatics.
A great aerobatic airplane to buy is a Citabria, which has seats for parachutes and bare floorboards. These planes are a great way to practice your skills on a small scale. These airplanes have low power and are very forgiving, which is why they are the best choice for practicing aerobatics.
Once you’ve mastered the basic skills, you can move on to more challenging aircraft and compete in competitions. The International Aerobatic Club holds aerobatic competitions in five different categories.
A Primary category is an accessible option for beginners, as it focuses on precision. Many people bring their rental aircraft to competitions, like the Pitts S-2B or Extra 300. You can also learn how to fly more powerful aircraft by taking lessons at a professional flight school. | aerospace | 1 |

This exquisite instrument will act as the “eye” of the satellite, allowing us to detect, pinpoint, and quantify point source emissions of methane and carbon dioxide. This marks a major milestone for the Carbon Mapper Coalition, a public-private partnership announced in 2021, with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of global methane and carbon dioxide emissions. As part of this coalition, Planet is actively building and launching two hyperspectral satellites, Tanager 1 and Tanager 2. Tanager 1 is expected to be ready for launch in 2024.
In addition to the progress being made on Tanager, we’re continuing to push our Pelican Program forward, with the first Tech Demo, TD1, now fully built and expected to be ready for launch later this year. This marks an important step for not only Pelican, but also Tanager, as the two constellations share a common body that holds each payload’s scientific instruments, known as the satellite bus. TD1’s primary mission will be to test the satellite platform and operational systems on-orbit. The learnings from TD1, a true R&D satellite, will be integrated into our upcoming Pelican and Tanager satellite builds.
As we gear up to launch Tanager 1 and 2, we are collaborating closely with users in our Early Access Program (EAP) to understand how hyperspectral data will deliver the greatest value to their organizations. This program, which leverages synthetic data developed in partnership with Rendered.ai, will allow us to generate well-rounded market feedback for our satellite program and unearth innovative applications and use cases for our future hyperspectral data.
Our EAP cohort is substantial, spanning across companies in agriculture, energy, mining, and defense, and has deepened our understanding of the market demand for hyperspectral data. The program is helping us to further refine our product development process and speed the time-to-value of our data. We are excited to continue working with our EAP partners to iterate on our designs and data pipeline to ensure a seamless integration of our upcoming hyperspectral data.
To learn more about the instrument built by NASA JPL, and some of the other major achievements we’ve made across the Carbon Mapper Coalition to date, check out the joint blog post written by Carbon Mapper and NASA JPL below.
Road to Launch: The Carbon Mapper Coalition achieves key satellite milestones
This week, the instrument that will go on the Tanager-1 satellite was transferred from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to Planet Labs PBC (Planet)! This marks an exciting milestone in the development of the first of two satellites being developed and deployed through a first-of-its-kind public-private Coalition led by Carbon Mapper, a nonprofit with the mission to provide actionable and accessible methane and CO2 data to decision makers.
Detecting methane from space
In 2021, Carbon Mapper and partners from NASA JPL, Planet, the California Air Resources Board, RMI, Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, and philanthropic partners including the High Tide Foundation, Grantham Foundation, and Bloomberg Philanthropies, among others announced plans to develop and deploy two satellites with capabilities to detect, pinpoint, and quantify high emission methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) point sources at the scale of individual facilities.
This involved assembling a unique Coalition which has brought together entities with technical, scientific, engineering, and policy expertise to accomplish bold objectives far bigger than any one company or organization could tackle on their own at the scale that’s needed to drive emissions reductions. These two satellites are designed to help fill gaps in our current understanding of methane and CO2 emissions, and are the first step toward a larger goal to build a full constellation.
The instrument, designed and built by NASA JPL, is an imaging spectrometer that measures the hundreds of wavelengths of light reflected by Earth’s surface and absorbed by gasses in the planet’s atmosphere.
Different compounds — including greenhouse gasses like methane and CO2 — absorb different wavelengths of light, leaving a kind of spectral fingerprint not visible to the human eye. When analyzed, these light signatures can reveal which substances produced the fingerprint. The imaging spectrometer is the “eye” of the satellite and allows us to gather high quality data required to detect, pinpoint, and quantify point source emissions of methane and CO2.
A very special delivery
The instrument left JPL’s facility in Pasadena, CA, bound for the Bay Area in a truck on September 12th in preparation for the next phase on its journey to space.
“This delivery is a very exciting step for us as our team can now begin the final stage in satellite integration,” said Jeff Guido, Senior Director of New Missions at Planet. “This milestone is an excellent example of the innovative ways that government, philanthropy, and industry can play to each other’s strengths to build an exceptional capability that has the potential for global impact.”

Rigorous testing and first methane detection
This major milestone is not the first. Leading up to delivery, the imaging spectrometer recently passed a rigorous set of tests at JPL’s facility to ensure that the instrument can withstand the stresses of launch and harsh conditions in orbit. Engineers subjected the spectrometer to intense vibrations similar to what it will endure aboard a rocket blasting into orbit, as well as the extreme temperatures and vacuum of space.
During laboratory calibration of the instrument, a rare opportunity presented itself to test a sample of methane in front of the spectrometer. This special test was a complete success, with the instrument producing a clear spectral fingerprint of methane. “We are thrilled to see the exceptional quality of the methane spectral signature recorded — this bodes well for the space measurement soon to follow,” said Robert Green, the JPL instrument scientist.
What’s next on our road to launch
The second instrument is currently being built by Planet in close collaboration with NASA JPL. This partnership is at the heart of our unique Coalition which helped to transfer the instrument’s technology from NASA JPL to Planet, and allow for the potential to develop a full satellite constellation. The two teams will continue working side-by-side as Planet leads on building the second satellite and instrument.
While these milestones are an exciting step on our journey to develop and deploy the first two Carbon Mapper Coalition satellites, we now turn efforts toward integrating the instrument with the satellite bus this fall and preparing for launch, targeting early 2024.

The graphite epoxy motor (GEM), designated as the GEM-60, will be used to augment the Delta IV Medium-plus launch vehicles. The test culminated 29 months of design, fabrication, and testing work by employees from Boeing, Alliant Techsystems (ATK) and a number of critical suppliers, including Moog. Moog manufactures the motor's thrust vector actuation system.
The solid rocket boosters for the Delta IV vehicles are the newest addition to the ATK GEMs, which are used on each member of the Boeing Delta family of launch vehicles. Measuring 60 inches in diameter, the Delta IV GEM-60 boosters are the largest in the group. ATK also supplies GEM-46 and GEM-40 solid rocket motors for the Boeing Delta II and Delta III rockets, respectively.
The Boeing Delta IV line includes the Delta IV Medium, Delta IV Heavy and three variants of the Medium vehicle, known as Medium-plus, which have been introduced to meet the growing needs of the commercial market for reliable and affordable access to space. Each of the three configurations of the Delta IV Medium-plus vehicle retains the Delta IV common booster core (CBC) and is distinguished by the number of GEM-60 motors attached to the CBC, as well as the size of the upper stages and payload fairings. The Delta IV Medium-plus can lift up to 14,475 pounds (6,565 kilograms) to geosynchronous transfer orbit.
The first Delta IV launch is scheduled for 2001.

Chief Master Sgt. Roger Towberman, who formally joined the Space Force April 3 to help chart the fledgling service’s direction, said enlisted personnel could take on multiple specialties over the course of their career. “I don't believe that we'll be able to bin and specialize like they do in the Air Force, so that means their jobs will be different,” Towberman said April 30. “What you're being asked to do may change more than it does in the Air Force just because our small numbers will require that.”
Pacific Air Forces boss Gen. C.Q. Brown Jr. will get his shot at becoming the Air Force’s next Chief of Staff at his Senate confirmation hearing scheduled for May 7. The Senate Armed Services Committee plans to vet Brown, Navy Secretary nominee Kenneth Braithwaite, and Deputy Under Secretary Of Defense For Policy nominee James Anderson in its second in-person hearing since returning from an extended recess due to the coronavirus pandemic. SASC will "follow guidelines developed in consultation with the Office of the Attending Physician, the Senate Sergeant at Arms, and the Senate Rules Committee to protect the health of members, witnesses, staff, and the public,” the committee said. “This includes maintaining 6-foot social distance spacing in the hearing room.”
A T-38C instructor pilot failed to take control during a dangerous situation as the student pilot made an incorrect input during a formation landing in November 2019 at Vance Air Force Base, Okla., causing the Talon to flip and skid to a stop, killing both, according to an Air Force investigation. The Nov. 21, 2019, crash at the training base killed instructor Col. John “Matt” Kincade, 47, a highly regarded pilot with the reputation as one of the best T-38 instructors at Vance, and 2nd Lt. Travis Wilkie, 23, a student with a “stellar reputation as a hard worker,” according to an Air Education and Training Command Accident Investigation Board report released May 1. Wilkie’s family, in a statement, refuted the findings of the report as “grossly and unjustly incomplete," saying the Air Force is not "doing right by our Airmen and Airwomen by mandating student pilots land in formation in a plane so old that it doesn’t perform as responsively as needed to prevent loss of life.”
The Air Force is reshuffling the oversight of its fighters, bombers, and mobility aircraft, separating fighters and bombers and putting tankers and the Open Skies recap program together with other airlift programs. The reorganization is meant to put greater emphasis on bombers and extract the efficiencies of putting all mobility types under one leader. The replacement of Air Force One will retain a separate Program Executive Officer, the new B-21 bomber will still be run by the Rapid Capabilities Office, and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will still be run by the Joint Program Office.
A long-standing problem with F-16 landing gear caused the December 2019 crash of a Viper upon landing at Kunsan Air Base, South Korea. The documented problems with actuators and brackets on the main landing gear of F-16 Block 32 and Block 40 aircraft prompted an Air Force-wide time compliance technical order, which had not yet been addressed on the 80th Fighter Squadron F-16 involved in the mishap. The pilot was able to eject, and the F-16 was destroyed at a loss of $19.4 million, according to an Air Force investigation released April 29. F-16 units have until March 2, 2022, to implement the order, but after the mishap, the 8th Fighter Wing at Kunsan fixed its entire F-16 fleet, according to the Air Force.
A B-52 assigned to the 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., lost an access panel during a May 1 flyover to honor individuals on the frontlines of the fight against the new coronavirus in New Orleans. The panel was recovered, and no one was injured in the incident, but a safety investigation is planned, wing spokesperson 2nd Lt. Aileen Lauer told Air Force Magazine later the same day.
Four B-1B Lancers and about 200 airmen deployed to Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, on May 1 as a short “bomber task force” rotation, just two weeks after the service ended its Continuous Bomber Presence mission in the Pacific. The B-1s, from the 9th Bomb Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, will train with other USAF and allied units, and conduct “strategic deterrence missions to reinforce the rules-based international order” in the region. It is the third time within nine days that B-1s have flown in the theater. Two B-1s from the 37th Bomb Squadron at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., flew directly to train near Japan on April 22 and two B-1Bs also from Ellsworth flew directly to the South China Sea.
The Afghan Air Force lost 12 aircraft in the first quarter of 2020, an 8 percent drop of its flying fleet. The service also decreased its flying hours by a quarter, according to a new watchdog report. The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction states that the USAF-led Train, Advise, Assist Command-Air mission reported a drop of 12 available Afghan Air Force aircraft in the beginning of this year, including six Russian-made Mi-17s that “expired” or were damaged, plus a new MD-530 attack helicopter lost in combat. SIGAR also notes that the U.S.-led mission in Afghanistan is no longer reporting the number of Taliban-initiated attacks, as part of negotiations toward a peace process. | aerospace | 1 |

Kennedy Space Center this afternoon to explain what happened to halt the scheduled final launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour. A faulty heater near the cargo bay was the guilty party this time—and not inclement weather—and NASA has until Wednesday to fix the problem and get the shuttle into orbit lest it run into scheduling conflicts.
"A disappointing day for Team Endeavor but as we say, we will not fly this plane until it's ready to go," said Michael Leinbach, shuttle launch director.
Today's launch was scheduled for 3:47 p.m. Eastern but it was scrubbed when a heater on shuttle orbiter failed to respond during a flight check. Although the issue isn't one so serious that it would abort a mission already in progress, it caused NASA to stop the launch since the mission wouldn't have the required redundancy in heating equipment, as well as possible safety risks due to leaking fluid.
"We would have very much loved to have seen Endeavour launch today, but safety always comes first," said Kennedy Space Center director Bob Cabana.
Leinbach explained that the first step to fixing the problem is to "inert" the area with helium and then wait 24 hours. After that, crews will perform a test to see if the heater was essentially just stuck, and if it's not, the rescheduled Monday launch may need to be pushed back further.
Part of the issue is that the fault is at a point on the orbiter that's difficult to get at while the craft is on the launch pad. If the heater can't be fixed quickly, repair crews will have to examine deep into the control assembly, a much bigger job.
If that happens, the launch may be pushed back over a week, since an Atlas rocket is due to launch on Friday, May 6, said Mike Moses, launch integration manager for the shuttle program. The last chance the shuttle would have to launch in order to give the rocket sufficient preparation time would be Wednesday, May 4.
The other option would be to launch after the Atlas rocket, on either May 8 or 9, Moses said, but then the Endeavour would run into a conflict at the International Space Station (ISS), where a Soyuz craft would be due to undock on the same day as the shuttle.
President Obama and the First Family flew to Florida to attend the launch, but instead got a tour of the launch facility and met the shuttle crew. He also met with Representative Gabrielle Giffords, who was in attendance to see her husband, Endeavour Commander Mark Kelly, fly into space. The president left in Air Force One later in the afternoon and said he couldn't attend a Monday launch, though he left open the possibility of returning for a launch later in the week. It's not known if Giffords will remain in Florida or return to Houston.
Whenever it happens, the final mission of Space Shuttle Endeavour will carry a 15,000-pound device called the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 (AMS) to the ISS. The device measures cosmic rays to get a better understanding of them since they can be a risk to long-term spaceflight. It could also help answer cosmic questions about dark matter and antimatter. | aerospace | 1 |

The company American Robotics announced it has received FAA approval for its A.I.-powered drone which can operate safely even when the operator isn’t within line of sight.
Autonomous drones are already used in applications like patrolling military bases, but until now there hasn’t been a commercially available drone that flew autonomously.
The drones won’t be allowed complete freedom from humans though — a pilot will still need to oversee the operation of the drone remotely. The pilot won’t have to be physically on-site with the drone to operate it, but they will need to keep an eye on it from a distance. That means there’s still a way to go before completely autonomous commercial drones will be available, so don’t start planning out your autonomous drone operation plans just yet.
Still, the approval does mean that American Robotics will be able to sell their remote-operated drones which can perform complex autonomous maneuvers. They have detection and avoidance capabilities to avoid other aircraft and a self-charging system where they land in a charging and data processing station. The data processing function allows the collecting and processing of data about flights, which has almost endless potential uses.
“With these approvals, American Robotics is ushering in a new era of widespread automated drone operations,” Reese Mozer, CEO and co-founder of American Robotics, said in a statement. “Decades worth of promise and projection are finally coming to fruition.
“We are proud to be the first company to meet the FAA’s comprehensive safety requirements, which had previously restricted the viability of drone use in the commercial sector. We are very grateful for the FAA’s willingness to work closely with American Robotics over the past four years on this precedent-setting authorization. With this set of approvals, American Robotics can begin safely operating our automated Scout platform for the benefit of the energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and security market verticals, helping unlock the projected $100 billion commercial drone market.”

LAUREL, Md. — NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured stunning views of Venus during its close flyby of the planet in July 2020.
Though Parker Solar Probe’s focus is the Sun, Venus plays a critical role in the mission: The spacecraft whips by Venus a total of seven times over the course of its seven-year mission, using the planet’s gravity to bend the spacecraft’s orbit. These Venus gravity assists allow Parker Solar Probe to fly closer and closer to the Sun on its mission to study the dynamics of the solar wind close to its source.
WASHINGTON (NRL PR) – A U.S. Naval Research Laboratory-built camera mounted on the NASA Parker Solar Probe revealed an asteroid dust trail that has eluded astronomers for decades.
Karl Battams, a computational scientist in NRL’s Space Science Division, discussed the results from the camera called Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) on Dec. 11 during a NASA press conference. | aerospace | 1 |

It happened just after the booster rocket phase, which accelerates the craft to at least Mach 4, a high enough velocity for the hypersonic scramjet to work. The craft ended up in the Pacific shortly afterwards instead, and this latest affair may end up dunking the entire $300 million program. The Air Force initiative is already short on funding, and the previous two tries were equally dismal failures -- meaning a fourth missile, already built, may end up a museum piece.

|Duigan pusher biplane|
|First flight||16 July 1910|
The Duigan pusher biplane (often simply called the Duigan biplane) was an early aircraft which made the first powered flight by an Australian-designed and built machine when it flew in Victoria in 1910. The aircraft was constructed by John Duigan with help from his brother, Reginald, on their family farm at Mia Mia. The effort was especially significant in that the brothers built the aircraft almost entirely by themselves and without input from the pioneering aviation community; a photo-postcard of the Wright Flyer inspired the design and Sir Hiram Maxim's book Artificial and Natural Flight provided the theoretical basis.
The aircraft was an open-framework biplane with a three-bay, equal-span, unstaggered wing cellule, organised in a pusher configuration. Horizontal stabilisers were carried to both the front and rear, with a single rudder above the rear surface. A fixed tricycle undercarriage was fitted, and the pilot sat on the leading edge of the lower wing. Lateral control was by ailerons on both upper and lower wings, and an elevator was attached to the rear stabiliser. The only components not built by the Duigans themselves were the engine (made by the J. E. Tilley Engineering Company of Melbourne) and the propeller. However, both of these components were extensively modified by John before they could be used.
The aircraft flew for the first time on 16 July 1910, taking off under its own power and flying 7 metres (23 feet). Within two months, this had been extended to 90 metres (300 feet), and soon thereafter to 180 metres at an altitude of 3.5 metres (11 feet)at an altitude of 12 ft). By the end of the year, Duigan had made a flight of 1 km (⅝ mile) at an altitude of 30 metres (98 feet).
Duigan informed the Department of Defence of his achievements, hoping to claim a £5,000 prize that had been offered in September 1909 for the construction of an aircraft suitable for military purposes. Duigan was ineligible for the prize, which had expired at the end of March 1910, but was asked to demonstrate his aircraft for the military anyway. He also flew it in a public demonstration in front of a crowd of 1,000 spectators at Bendigo Racecourse in January 1911. In 1920, Duigan donated the aircraft to the Industrial and Technological Museum of Victoria, which was later absorbed into Museum Victoria.
Museum Victoria also preserves a flying replica of the Duigan biplane, built by Ronald Lewis and flown in 1990. It was donated to the museum in 2000.

The astronauts will dock with the International Space Station early Saturday for a planned six-month mission.
Russian commander Sergey Ryzhikov, flight engineer Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, and NASA astronaut Kate Rubins climbed into their Soyuz landing craft and undocked from the International Space Station at 9:34 p.m. EDT Friday (0134 GMT Saturday). The trio touched down on the barren steppes of Kazakhstan at 12:56 a.m. EDT (0456 GMT) to wrap up six months in orbit.
Veteran Russian commander Oleg Novitskiy, rookie flight engineer Pyotr Dubrov, and NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei launched into orbit Friday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 3:42 a.m. EDT (0742 GMT). The crew members rode a Soyuz capsule in pursuit of the International Space Station, where docking occurred at 7:05 a.m. EDT (1105 GMT).
Four astronauts strapped into their SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft Monday and rode along for an automated maneuver to relocate the capsule to a different docking port outside the International Space Station. The relocation maneuver, which concluded with a link-up with the new docking port 7:08 a.m. EDT (1108 GMT), was the first of its kind for a Crew Dragon spacecraft.
For the fourth time this month, SpaceX has launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida’s Space Coast with another 60 Starlink internet satellites. Liftoff of the Falcon 9 from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station occurred at 4:28 a.m. EDT (0828 GMT) Wednesday. The Falcon 9’s booster landed on an offshore drone ship. | aerospace | 1 |

In 1972, Tom Wolfe was assigned to do a piece for Rolling Stone on Apollo 17, NASA's last moon mission (Google book preview). That turned into a four-part series on the astronauts, written in a frantic three weeks. From there, he thought he could quickly expand the piece into a book (Gbp). But that book, on what makes an astronaut, ended up taking a much broader scope and more time. In 1979, The Right Stuff was published, and later was made into a well-regarded 3 hour movie. A few years later, Andrew Chaikin started on a similar path to Wolfe, more broadly documenting the US moon missions in his book, A Man on the Moon. The book was published in 1994, and HBO used it as the basis of a 12-part mini-series that they aired in 1998, titled From the Earth to the Moon. [more inside]

Theoretically sound model for metallic carbon found. Researchers from Peking University, Virginia Commonwealth University and Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics employed state-of-the-art theoretical methods to show that it is possible to manipulate carbon to form a three-dimensional metallic phase with interlocking hexagons. “Unlike high-pressure techniques that require three terapascals of pressure to make carbon metallic, the studied structures are stable at ambient conditions and may be synthesized using benzene or polyacenes molecules." The new metallic carbon structures may have important applications in lightweight metals for space applications, catalysis and in devices showing negative differential resistance or superconductivity. The research is supported by grants from China and the US Department of Energy.

Aldrin was one of the first two humans to walk on the lunar surface.
Aldrin, alongside fellow Apollo 11 crew member Neil Armstrong, touched down on the lunar surface at 8:17 p.m. UTC on July 20, 1969.
The building was constructed as a facility to quarantine astronauts and the material they brought back from the moon during the Apollo program.
"Any attempt to make moon rocks in a laboratory would be a monumental failure," said space rock expert Trevor Taylor.
"Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace."
NASA is hosting a variety of events which will be televised on the space agency's own TV channel to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.
The former NASA astronaut has told of a conversation he had with the renowned scientist.
Michael Collins was a crew member of the historic Apollo 11 mission, alongside Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
Snoopy was part of the 1969 Apollo 10 Mission that laid the groundwork for the first moon landings.
"Mars is waiting to be discovered, not by clever robots and rovers, but by living, breathing, walking, talking, caring and daring men and women," the ex-astronaut wrote.
The decision to omit the scene drew criticism, but astronaut Neil Armstrong's sons said the film is anything but anti-American. | aerospace | 1 |

This image of the crescent Moon shows sunlight skimming across the heavily pocked surface, filling its craters with shadows. This is a fairly flat region of the Moon, but elsewhere, high mountains can be found, with some peaks reaching about 5000 metres. When backlit by the Sun, these mountains cast long shadows on the lunar surface. In the 1600s, Galileo Galilei used these long shadows to determine the height of the peaks.
At the Moon’s poles (not seen in this picture), some craters are permanently shadowed and the floors of some may have not seen sunlight for billions of years. Scientists had long suspected that these dark and constantly cold regions of the Moon could harbour water ice, but it wasn’t until late 2009 that evidence for this was found.
In a NASA mission called LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite), a spent rocket booster was sent on a one-way collision course to the Moon’s south pole, while the remaining part of the spacecraft hunted for evidence of water in the ejected debris. The mission was a success and its findings confirmed the presence of water ice within these dark craters. The finding has important implications for the future of human exploration of the Moon and elsewhere in the Solar System.
This view of the Moon was taken through a narrowband red filter (H-alpha). The height of the image is about 30 arcminutes.

Joe Courtney.
"While the VC-25A chiller replacement requirement still exists, the progress on the VC-25B program weighed against the cost of the chiller effort makes termination the most prudent fiscal sense for the government," Wilson wrote in the letter.
Wilson noted there are other steps available to ensure "food security."
"The Air Force has notified Boeing of the government's intention to cancel the subject contract," Wilson wrote
Boeing was awarded a $23.7 million contract to replace two of the five refrigerators aboard Air Force One in December. The refrigerators were part of the original commercial equipment delivered with the aircraft in 1990.
"Clearly, the Air Force is making the right decision to cancel the previously announced sole-source contract and hit restart on this process," Courtney, a Democrat, said in a statement. "Even with the understanding that the Air Force One mission brings with it unique requirements and challenges, a $24 million sole-source contract just didn't pass the smell test."
"I commend the Air Force for reversing this decision and look forward to working with them to ensure the next-generation Air Force One program stays on schedule." | aerospace | 1 |

US President Donald Trump on Thursday announced an ambitious plan to usher in a new “Space Force” as the sixth branch of the military by 2020, but the proposal was scorned by opponents and may struggle to get liftoff in a divided Congress.
Trump has strongly championed the idea of creating a space-focused military service with the same stature as the Air Force and the Army, turning his dreams of a “Space Force” into a rallying cry for supporters at political events.
His 2020 reelection campaign sent a fundraising email on Thursday asking supporters to vote on their favorite Space Force logo for future Trump campaign merchandise, offering a choice of six.
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, in an address at the Pentagon, described the Space Force as “an idea whose time has come.”
“America will always seek peace in space, as on the Earth. But history proves that peace only comes through strength, and in the realm of outer space, the United States Space Force will be that strength in the years ahead,” Pence said. He added that Congress must now act to establish and fund the department.
Trump tweeted: “Space Force all the way!”
The Space Force would be responsible for a range of crucial space-based U.S. military capabilities, which include everything from satellites enabling the Global Positioning System (GPS) to sensors that help track missile launches.
But critics view its creation as an unnecessary and expensive bureaucratic endeavor, a vanity project that simply strips away work already being done effectively by services like the Air Force.
Democratic Senator Brian Schatz, who is on the Defense Appropriations subcommittee, said the Space Force was a “dumb idea.””Although ‘Space Force’ won’t happen, it’s dangerous to have a leader who cannot be talked out of crazy ideas,” Schatz said on Twitter. | aerospace | 1 |

Artemis 1, the primary flight of the Artemis program, launched early Wednesday morning (Nov. 16). Almost 9 million kilos (4 million kg) of thrust carried the House Launch System (SLS) rocket to its ultimate restrict, the place it efficiently launched the unmanned Orion spacecraft towards the Moon.
Whereas the mission is in any other case nominal, NASA is intently monitoring the injury left behind in preparation for future Artemis program missions, together with the following deliberate manned mission: Artemis 2, which is anticipated to orbit the moon no sooner than 2024.
“The injury that we noticed actually solely impacts a few areas,” NASA’s Artemis mission supervisor Mike Sarafin emphasised throughout a press convention with reporters on Monday (Nov. 21).
“It simply goes to indicate,” he added, “that the setting … shouldn’t be the friendliest when you have got probably the most highly effective rocket on this planet going up.”
Within the pictures: Wonderful views of the debut of NASA’s lunar rocket Artemis 1
Just like the House Shuttle earlier than it, Artemis 1 used a water suppression system to scale back injury to the launch pad throughout launch, which labored as anticipated. Nonetheless, the paint peeled off from the sheer drive of Artemis 1 lifting off the launch tower deck, Sarafin stated.
Elevators to service the launch tower fared worse, with pictures displaying warped frames round a minimum of one elevator after the doorways have been torn off by the SLS’s shock wave.
“The elevator system shouldn’t be working proper now,” Sarafin defined. “The strain mainly pulled the doorways off our elevators … now the elevators are usually not working and we now have to get them again up and operating.”
NASA officers added that the pneumatic traces linked to the nitrogen fuel and helium fuel to service the large SLS tanks produced minor injury that was detected by the pad’s oxygen sensors within the heart of the leaking fuel.
Managers additionally discovered two small items of particles close to the pad that should not have been there: “throat plug materials” ejected from the rocket throughout liftoff (which sometimes occurs with rocket launches), and a bit of RTV (insulating gasket) from the underside of the Orion capsule.
Nonetheless, it’s unclear whether or not the RTV blew up throughout takeoff or got here off throughout Tropical Storm Nicole, which tore the putty strip earlier than takeoff; mission managers had determined earlier than launch that the RTV downside didn’t pose a risk.
The injury was minor sufficient that Sarafin described the SLS as a “very clear system,” including that the rocket exceeded its efficiency objectives and that the workforce would make some adjustments for Artemis 2.
“It means we’re as protected as attainable given the hostile setting we’re flying our astronauts into,” he stated of mission planning on the whole, together with the launch part. “We take this very significantly. The flight security of our astronauts is paramount.”

Antonov An-2 An-2R on skis allowing for operations in the snow Role Agricultural and utility aircraft Manufacturer Antonov
Hongdu Aviation Industry Group
Designer Oleg Konstantinovich Antonov First flight 31 August 1947 Status Series production may still continue in China as the Shijiazhuang Y-5 Primary users Soviet Union
Produced 1947-2002 Number built 18,000+ Variants Antonov An-3
The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: кукуру́зник (kukuruznik, "maize farmworker," inherited from the earlier Polikarpov Po-2); also nicknamed "Annushka" or "Annie") is a single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed in the USSR in 1946. (USAF/DoD reporting name Type 22, NATO reporting name Colt).
Design and development
The An-2 is used as a light utility transport, parachute drop aircraft, agricultural work and many other tasks suited to this large slow-flying biplane. Its slow flight and good field performance make it suited for short, unimproved fields, and some specialized variants have also been built for cold weather and other extreme environments. The Guinness Book of World Records states that the 45-year production run for the An-2 was for a time the longest ever, for any aircraft, but it was recently exceeded by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules.
The Antonov An-2 was designed to meet a 1947 Soviet Ministry of Forestry requirement for a replacement for the Polikarpov Po-2, which was used in large numbers in both agricultural and utility roles. Antonov designed a large single bay biplane of all-metal construction, with an enclosed cockpit and a cabin with room for seats accommodating twelve passengers. The first prototype, designated SKh-1, and powered by a Shvetsov ASh-21 radial engine, flew on 31 August 1947. The second prototype was fitted with a more powerful Shvetsov ASh-62 engine, which allowed the aircraft's payload to be significantly increased from 1,300 kg (2,870 lb) to 2,140 kg (4,720 lb), and in this form it was ordered into production.
By 1960 the USSR had produced over 5,000 units. Since 1960, most An-2s have been built at Poland's WSK factory in Mielec, with over 13,000 made there before full production ended in 1991. Limited production from parts stocks, as well as spares and maintenance coverage continued until 2001, when 4 aircraft were produced for Vietnam. China also builds the An-2 under license as the Shijiazhuang Y-5.
The An-2 was designed as a utility aircraft for use in forestry and agriculture. However, the basic airframe is highly adaptable and numerous variants have been developed. These include hopper-equipped versions for crop-dusting, scientific versions for atmospheric sampling, water-bombers for fighting forest-fires, flying ambulances, float-equipped seaplane versions, lightly armed combat versions for dropping paratroops, and of course the most common An-2T version, which is the 12-seater passenger aircraft. All versions (other than the An-3) are powered by a 750 kW (1,000 hp) nine-cylinder Shvetsov ASh-62 radial engine, which was developed from the Wright R-1820.
The An-2 has design features which make it suitable for operation in remote areas with unsurfaced airstrips:
- It has a pneumatic brake system (similar to those used on heavy road vehicles) to stop on short runways.
- It has an air line fitted to the compressor, so the pressure in the tires and shock absorbers can be adjusted without the need for special equipment.
- The batteries are large and easy to remove, so the aircraft does not need a ground power unit to supply power.
- There is no need for an external fuel pump to refuel the aircraft, as it has an onboard pump that allows the tanks to be filled from simple fuel drums.
- It has a minimum of complex systems. The crucial wing leading edge slats that give the aircraft its slow flight ability are fully automatic, being held closed by the airflow over the wings. Once the airspeed drops below 64 km/h (40 mph), the slats will extend because they are on elastic rubber springs.
- Take-off run: 170 m, landing run: 215 m (these numbers will of course vary depending on take-off/landing weight, outside air temperature, surface roughness, and headwind).
A note from the pilot's handbook reads: "If the engine quits in instrument conditions (blind flying when you can't see the ground) or at night, the pilot should pull the control column full aft (it won't stall) and keep the wings level. The leading-edge slats will snap out at about 64 km/h (40 mph), and when the airplane slows to a forward speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph), the airplane will sink at about a parachute descent rate until the aircraft hits the ground."
The An-2 indeed has no stall speed quoted in the operating handbook. Pilots of the An-2 say one can fly the aircraft in full control at 30 mph (as a contrast, a modern Cessna four-seater light aircraft has a stall speed of around 55 mph). This slow stall speed makes it possible for the aircraft to fly backwards (if the aircraft is pointed into a headwind of, say, 35 mph (56 km/h), it will travel backwards at 5 mph (8.0 km/h) whilst under full control). (This is also possible with almost any other true Short Take Off and Landing (STOL) aircraft, but the Antonov has the distinction of being able to do the trick in the mildest headwind.)
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European communist states, most airlines in these areas have been withdrawing their An-2s from service, as some of these aircraft are now over 40 years old. Private operators are still using the planes, as their stability, capacity and slow-flying ability make them very popular, for instance for skydiving.
In the early 1980s Antonov experimented with a development of the An-2 powered by a modern turboprop engine. The unit used was a 1,450 horsepower (1,080 kW) Glushenkov engine, and aircraft fitted with this engine were fitted with a longer, more streamlined nose to accommodate it. See Antonov An-3 article for more information.
Whilst their high noise levels, increasing maintenance costs, high fuel consumption and unsophisticated nature (the pre-flight checks alone take between 30 and 40 minutes) make them obsolete for commercial service in Europe, the huge number of aircraft available means that prices are low (from as little as $30,000 for a serviceable example). This makes them ideal for the developing world, where their ability to carry large loads into short airstrips makes them assets to airlines on a budget. Many ex-Aeroflot An-2s work as regional airliners in Africa, Central and South America, Cuba and the Indian subcontinent.
North Korea has a number of the aircraft with wooden propellers and canvas wings on their variants (the Y-5 version license-built in China) giving them a low radar cross-section, and therefore a limited degree of "stealth". In a war they could possibly be used to parachute or deliver special forces troops behind enemy lines for sabotage operations.
The An-2's ability, looks and flying characteristics, and its falsely claimed status as "The World's Biggest single-engined production Biplane"[clarification needed] mean that demand for the aircraft is increasing in the United States and Western Europe, where they are prized by collectors of classic aircraft, making the An-2 an increasingly common sight at airshows. However, in nearly all Western nations (the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc.) one may not use the An-2 commercially (despite its obvious potential as a bush plane and parachute aircraft). This is because the aircraft has not been certified by the relevant national aviation authorities, which limits its use. These restrictions vary by country, but all prevent the An-2 being used for any 'for profit' purpose, with the exception of the United States, where An-2s imported since 1993 are limited to flights within 300 miles (480 km) of their home airport, and may only land at that same airfield, but PZL-built An-2s are exempt from this restriction due to a bilateral agreement with Poland.
The An-2 was used by combat services in the Korean War. During the 1960s an An-2 attempting to engage South Vietnamese naval units was shot down by an F-4 Phantom II under the control of an Air Intercept Controller (AIC) on the USS Long Beach. The An-2 was used also during the Vietnam War as a naval interceptor. This modification had two "Skvall" torpedoes under the wing and was difficult to detect due to its low-altitude flight. Even when detected it was difficult to intercept because the plane's cruise speed was 135–160 km/h (well below the landing speed of jet aircraft during the war).
On January 12, 1968, a clandestine TACAN site (call sign: Lima Site 85/Phou Pha Ti) installed by Special Forces (United States Army) in Northern Laos for directing USAF warplanes flying from Thailand to Vietnam was attacked by two North Vietnamese An-2s using machine guns fired from the cabin, rockets, and hand thrown grenades. Another Colt orbited overhead. An Air America Bell UH-1B, XW-PHF, resupplying the site chased the two attacking aircraft. By using an AK-47 the American crew (Ted Moore Captain, Glen Wood kicker) succeeded in shooting down one of the An-2s while the second aircraft was forced down by combined ground and air fire and crashed into a mountain. The surviving Antonov returned to its home base, Gia Lam, near Hanoi.
During the Croatian War of Independence in 1991, a few old Antonov An-2 biplanes used for crop-spraying were converted by the Croatian Air Force to drop makeshift bombs and were used in supply missions to the town of Vukovar and other besieged parts of Croatia. The chief advantage for the An-2 was that they could take off and land in small or improvised airstrips. They were also used to drop supplies by parachute on isolated garrisons. At least one was shot down on 2 December 1991 over Vinkovci, eastern Slavonia, by Serbian SAM missiles, purportedly SA-6s.
Soviet / Russian / Polish production
- Izdeliye F – The in-house designation for the An-2NAK observation aircraft which was later re-designated An-2K and/or An-2F.
- Izdeliye K – A prototype weather reconnaissance/research aircraft with an observers cockpit immediately forward of the fin above the rear fuselage. First flown on 21 March 1948 'Izdeliye K' was found to be under-powered and unable to carry out its intended mission at high altitude, the aircraft was abandoned after a landing accident in October 1948. The concept was resurrected in 1954 as the 'An-2ZA' / 'An-6 Meteo'.
- Izdeliye T – The original design concept originated at OKB-153 in Novosibirsk.
- Izdeliye Sh – The in-house designation for the 'Izdeliye T' (presumably to confuse spies or infiltrators) design project at Novosibirsk.
- SKh-1 – the original designation of the An-2 used during the design phase of the project before the OKB had been named after Antonov.
- An-2A – Developed from the An-2A for use as a Balloon interceptor to intercept reconnaissance balloons from, US intelligence assets, over-flying the USSR. The prototype was converted from a Kiev built An-2 (c/n 110347315) using the Turbo-charged Ash-62IR/TK of the 'An-6 Meteo' and a combined searchlight/gun turret mounted on top of the rear fuselage, which mounted either a single Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23 23mm calibre twin-barrelled cannon or a single Afanas'yev A-12.7 12.7mm calibre heavy machine-gun.
- An-2E (Ekranoplan – wing in ground effect)
- An-2E (second use of the designation) – An Ekranoplan conversion (Russian: Ан-2Э) of an An-2P (RA-84692). The fuselage was retained and a large trapezoidal monoplane wing having extended wingtips with approx 45o dihedral, attached to the lower wing attachment points. The prototype conversion was intended to be a floatplane; however, its first public appearance was as a landplane with the standard An-2 undercarriage. Jointly developed by the Moscow Aviation Institute, MARZ (Moskovskiy Aviaremontnyy Zavod – Moscow Aircraft Overhaul Plant) and The TSZP-Saturn research institute the An-2E was also known as EA-00078. Power was supplied by the standard ASh-62IR radial engine with AV-2 propeller, but production versions were intended to be powered by automotive diesel engines of around 580 hp.
- An-2F – Developed concurrently with the An-2 prototype, 'Izdeliye F' was an experimental artillery-observation aircraft with a twin-tail, ventral observer's position and dorsal defensive machine-gun position. The initial service designation of An-2NAK was changed to An-2F once post test flight modifications had been carried out. Two prototypes were built, with the first completed in the summer of 1948, but flight testing was delayed to April1949 due to the need to incorporate modifications called up from the standard An-2 flight test programme. The flight test of the An-2F showed that the aircraft met all the requirements of the specification, but helicopters were demonstrating that they could perform the artillery correction role without the need to provide fixed base airstrip for them to operate from, thus the An-2F was not proceeded with and the two prototypes were retained by the Antonov bureau for hack duties with one later serving as a flying wind tunnel to investigate para-dropping from the Antonov An-8 twin-turboprop transport.
- An-2F (second use of designation) – A VTOL project with vertical thrust to be provided by a Mikulin AM-9 turbojet in the rear fuselage.
- An-2F (third use of the designation) – A proposed photo-mapping aircraft project, from the early 1990s, similar to the An-2PF equipped with one of five alternate cameras. Overall control was to have been by IBM 286 computer and the camera could be augmented or replaced by a thermal imaging system, Infra-Red imaging system, AP-6E autopilot,LDI-3 laser rangefinder and/or a GPS global positioining system.
- An-2G (a.k.a. An-2Geo) – During 1974 WSK-Mielec developed a geo-physical survey aircraft for the Polish State Geophysical Survey Agency (Poszukiwan Panstwowe Przedsiebiorstwo Poszukiwan Geofizycznych), with equipment for measuring Magnetic fields, radiation and other instruments for prospecting. Adapted to fly in tropical latitudes at low altitude the 'An-2G' could fly for six hours and two were used for survey work in Nigeria in 1974.
- An-2L (Lesozashchita – forestry protection) – A fire bomber variant with three cassettes each holding 120 ampoules, containing 1litre (34 fl.oz.) of fire-retardant which were dropped as required. Trials revealed that this system was inefficient and further work was abandoned.
- An-2LL (Letayuschaya Laboratoriya – flying laboratory) – Any of a number of An-2's used as testbeds for various equipment. One An-2SKh (RA-70547), modified by the State Research Institute of Aircraft Systems. (GosNII AS – Gosudarstvennyy Nauchno-Issledovatel'skiy Institut Aviatsionnykh Sistem), for environmental research, had a lateral observation blister which has often caused the aircraft to be mis-identified as an An-2PF.
- An-2LP (Lesopozharnyy – forest firefighter) – A single prototype comverted from an An-2V floatplane, with 630 litre(139 Imp.Gal.) water tanks in each float for dropping on fires. The water tanks could be re-filled in flight, as the aircraft skimmed the surface of suitable bodies of water. Prior to dropping an alkaline wetting agent (NP-1 Sulphanol) was added to the water which was released through the scoops which also picked up the water to refill the tanks. Ten production aircraft were built seeing service in the Siberian and Far East regions of the USSR.
- An-2LV (Lesnoj Vodnyj - forest hydroplane) – A firefighting waterbomber.
- An-2M (Polish:[samolot] Morski – seaplane) – Polish production of the An-2V floatplane, designated An-2M, (not to be confused with the Russian designation An-2M). Also known as theAn-2W.
- An-2M (Modifitsirovannyy – modified) – The designation An-2M was also used in the USSR for a much improved agricuiltural crop-sprayer/duster. The An-2M featured an all-duralumin welded and bonded fuselage, lockable tailwheel, enlarged fibre-glass hopper, Shvetsov ASh-62 radial engine with power take off to an auxiliary gearbox to drive the dusting/sprayignequipment, an angular fin of increased area, a hermetically sealed cockpit with no access to the cabin/hopper area. The hopper capacity was increased 42% to 2,000Litres (440Imp.Gal.) delivering product through an outlet enlarged to 400mm (15½in) with dry product being fed to two dusting outlets at the tips of the lower wings. Due to lack of capacity at the Kiev factory and WSK-Mielec the An-2M was manufactured at DMZ N0.464 (Dolgoproodnyy Machinery Factory No.464) to the north of Moscow.
- An-2P (Polish: Pasażerski - passenger) (Russian: Passazhirskiy - passenger) – Russian and Polish production of a standard passenger variant. Russian production An-2P's had 10 permanently installed seats in a heated insulated cabin. Polish production aircraft had 12-14 seats, two jump seats for children and a baby cot. A total of 837 An-2P's were built.
- An-2P (Protivopozharnij - fire-fighting with water) – A fire-fighting aircraft with a dumpable hopper filled with water and/or retardant.
- An-2PD-5 (Polish: Pasażerski [samolot] Dyspozycyjny – executive aircraft's) – The production version of the 'An-2PD-6', featuring almost identical interior furnishings with a work table and reading light replacing one of the chairs.
- An-2PD-6 (Polish: Pasażerski [samolot] Dyspozycyjny – executive aircraft's) – A prototype six seat VIP variant of the An-2P produced at WSK-Mielec in 1970, featuring a folding table, mini-bar, pantry and toilet.
- An-2PF – Russian production An-2 aircraft configured for photo-mapping/survey tasks with camera hatches protected by sliding hatches on the undersurface of the fuselage.
- An-2PF – A joint request from the Polish State mapping Agency (Panstwowe Przedsiebiorstwo Kartografi) led to Polish production of eight 'An-2PF' aircraft configured for photo-mapping/survey tasks with camera hatches protected by sliding hatches on the undersurfa ce of the fuselage.
- An-2PK – A polar research aircraft developed by WSK-Mielec with heated skis, insulated cabin and an additional cabin heater.
- An-2PRTV – A single Polish production An-2, (SP-TVN, c/n1G 15944), modified as a television broadcast relay aircraft for the Polish Radio and Television Co. (Polskie Radio i Telewizja).
- An-2R – Alternative designation of the An-2SKh agricultural variant with tank for 1.300 kg of liquid or powdered chemicals.
- An-2RA – A projected up-graded Agricultural aircraft, based on the An-2R, developed at WSK-Mielec.
- An-2RT (ReTranslyator – relay installation) – A single An-2 was converted to a telemetry relay station, for missile development work, relaying telemetry from test missiles to a ground station.
- An-2TPS (Transportno-Passazhirskiy Sanitarnyy – cargo/passenger medical) – Polish production of ambulance aircraft derived from An-2TP aircraft with three stretchers each side and two medical attendants.
- An-2S (Sanitarnyy - medical) – The An-2S was an adaptation of the standard An-2T cargo plane with up to six stretcher patients or three stretchers and six walking wounded along with attendants and support equipment.
- An-2SKh (Sel'skoKhozyaistvennyy – agricultural) – The agricultural version optimised for crop-spraying and crop-dusting. A metal construction chemical hopper was installed in the cabin near the centre of gravity, feeding a spreader through a 300mm orifice. The original spreader was replaced in 1975 by a standardised RTSh-1 three channel spreader which increased distribution width from 18-22m(59–72 ft) to 34-36m(111–118 ft). Liquid chemicals could be sprayed using an interchangeable system which delivered chemical to spraybars via a ram air turbine driven regulator pump to give coverage 30m(98 ft) wide. Powdered or granulated chemicals were loaded through a hatch in the roof of the cabin and liquid chemical through a special connector on the port side of the fuselage. Early An-2SKh's were typically limited to a 6,000hr life, as opposed to a normal life of 12,000hrs, due to the corrosive effects of the chemicals. The introduction of epoxy based corrosion protection systems partly alleviated the situation, allowing the agricultural An-2's to continue flying for much longer. Five An-2SKh aircraft were converted to firefighters, from 1954, by pressurising the hopper filled with water and/or retardant and ejecting it from a nozzle in place of the dusting/spraying equipment, single aircraft were allocated to Civil Air Directorates across the country but proved relatively ineffectual.
- An-2T (Transportno – cargo) – The baseline first production model for cargo and mail carriage.
- An-2TP (Transportno-Passazhirskiy – cargo/passenger) – A convertible passenger/cargo version, with tip-up seats for ten, released in 1949.
- An-2TD (Transportno-Desantnyy – cargo/paratrooper) – paratrooper version with 12 seats, static line attachment cables and drop signalling lights.
- An-2V (Vodnyy – water-based) – A seaplane version of the baseline An-2 fitted with twin floats supported on wire-braced struts at the undercarriage attachment points and rear fuselage. Floatplane An-2's manufactured in Kiev were designated An-4 but there is little evidence that this designation was widely used. At least one An-2V..AN-2V Video
- An-2V (Vysotnyy – high altitude) – Six aircraft were built, at the Kiev factory, as weather reconnaissance An-2V's for use at high altitude. Powered by the ASh-62IR/TK turbo-charged engine, they differed from the 'An-6 Meteo' by not having the observers cockpit forward of the fin.
- An-2VA – water bomber.
- An-2W (Wodnosamolot – seaplane) – Polish production of the An-2V, also sometimes designated An-2M (not to be confused with the improved variant).
- An-2ZA (Zondirovaniye Atmosfery – atmosphere sampling) – The initial designation for a high altitude meteorological research re-designated as the 'An-6 Meteo'.
- An-3 (first use of the designation) – A radical redesign of the An-2A to intercept reconnaissance balloons from US intelligence assets, over-flying the USSR. With a high aspect ratio monoplane high-set wing, turbo-charged ASh-62IR/TK and a combined searchlight/gun turret mounted on top of the rear fuselage.
- An-3 (second use of designation) – In an effort to replace the An-2SKh, after the poor performance of the abortive WSK-Mielec M-15 Belphegor, it was proposed to fit a turboprop engine on an all new fuselage featuring a hunchback for the cockpit and An-2M tail surfaces. This design was not carried through and a less ambitious re-design resulted in the third and final use of the An-3 designation.
- An-3 (third use of designation) – The prototype An-3 with a Glushenkov TVD-20 (1,054 kW/1,432 shp) turboprop engine, sealed cockpit with separate entance door above lower wing leading edge and air conditioning to improve the cockpit environment. Two prototypes were built (CCCP-06131 and CCCP37901) with a third registration (CCCP26700) which is believed to be a re-registration of one of the other two registrations. The flight tests and trial s progressed well and the two prototypes set no less than six World Records for payload to altitude in their class. Due to the collapse of the USSR initial plans for production and variants were shelved until 1993 when production of converted aircraft began, as the An-3T, at the Omsk 'Polyot' factory.
- An-3T – Due to the large number of surplus An-2's available the An-3T was not produced from scratch but by converting aircraft which had at least 50% of their life remaining. All the aircraft were re-registered and given new construction numbers.
- An-3TK – A convertible passenger /cargo version with six foldable twin seats.
- An-3SKh – An agricultural version tested with one of the original prototypes but with no known production conversions.
- An-3P – A forest fire fighting water bomber with a tank installed in the fuselage.
- An-3S – A projected ambulance version with six stretchers and two medical attendants.
- An-3D – Projected military troopship version with tip-up seats for paratroopers.
- An-4 – This designation was used for An-2V seaplane's produced at Kiev, but does not seem to be used much. This is either due to very limited production at Kiev or operators not making the distinction between the An-2V and An-4.
- An-6 – A transport aircraft fitted with the Shvetsov Ash-62IR/TK turbo-charged engine was produced for use in mountainous areas at high altitudes. An unknown number were delivered to the Tajik Civil Aviation Directorate and the Polar directorate for use in the far north of the USSR and to support the USSR's Antarctic research stations.
- An-6 Meteo – After the failure of 'Izdeliye K', the Antonov bureau was tasked with developing the 'An-2ZA' high-altitude weather reconnaissance aircraft based on the An-2. Featuring the same observers cockpit, forward of the vertical stabiliser above the rear fuselage, used on 'Izdeliye K', power was supplied by a turbo-charged Shvetsov Ash-62IR/TK which enabled the 'An-2ZA' to carry out its intended high-altitude research role. On 9 June 1954 OKB-153 test pilot V.A. Kalinin and Flight Engineer V.I. Baklaykin set a World altitude record for Class C-1e-1(3,000-6,000 kg[6,610-13,320 lb]) at 11,248m(36,902 ft) which had not been broken by 2004. The 'An-2ZA' was re-designated 'An-6 Meteo' early in its career and continued to fly until a take-off accident in September 1958 caused extensive damage.
- Grach-2 (Grach-Rook) – Students from the SKB MAI (Studencheskoye Konstruktorskoye Byuro Moskovskii Aviatsionii Institut [Sergo Ordjonikidze] - student construction bureau Moscow Aviation Institute [Sergo Ordjonikidze]) studied agricultural aircraft utilising the WIG effect. Their first effort, named Grach-2, was a standard An-2 fuselage mated to low-set .inverted gull. reverse-delta monoplane wings with couter, constant chord, dihedral sections and fitted with a t-tail.
- Grach-3 – The second projected WIG agricultural aircraft from the SKB MAI was the Grach-3. This aircraft was to have been similar to the Grach-2 but utilising a centre section with near constant chord which allowed the tailplane to be dispensed with and pitch controlled by elevators at the rear of the centre section.
- Lala-1 – A research prototype with an open-frame rear fuselage, twin tail and twin tailwheels supported by struts under the rear of the fuselage pod. An Ivchenko AI-25 turbofan engine was fitted in the rear of the fuselage pod for use as a development model for the WSK-Mielec M-15 Belphegor agricultural aircraft.
- Fong Shou-2 (Harvester-2) – The name given to the first Nanchang built agricultural 'Y-5II'.
- Nanchang Y-5 – (Yunshuji - transport) Chinese version of An-2, initially built from Soviet blueprints and with supervision from Soviet advisors, 727 had been built when production was transferred to Harbin in 1968.
- Nanchang Y-5II – Crop-sprayer/duster with a chemical hopper/tank in the cabinand interchangeable spraying/dustiong equipment. Cooling of the cockpit was increased to improve comfort in the sub-tropical regions of China. 229 built.
- Shijiazhuang Y-5A – First mass-produced, Shijiazhuang built, version, light passenger transport, equivalent to the An-2T, 114 built.
- Shijiazhuang Y-5B – Shijiazhuang built agricultural aircraft, equivalent to the An-2 SKh.
- Shijiazhuang Y-5B-100 – Y-5B aircraft fitted with triple tipsails on the upper wing tips, which reputedly gave 20% higher climb rate and improved L/D ratio by 15%.
- Shijiazhuang Y-5B(T) – A para-dropping version developed for the PLAAF, with up-dated avionics including a GPS.
- Shijiazhuang Y-5B(K) – Variously reported as a tourist variant or Agricultural variant.
- Shijiazhuang Y-5B(D) – Variously reported as an Agricultural variant or Tourist variant.
- Nanchang Y-5C – Amphibian version of Y-5A.
- Nanchang Y-5D – Bomber crew trainer.
- Nanchang Y-5K – A VIP passenger variant with five seats. Eleven were delivered to the PLAAF from 1958. A seven seater was delivered to Ho Chi Min in North Vietnam and two were gifted to the Nepal Royal Flight for use by King Birendra.
- Shijiazhuang Y-5B (turboprop) – A projected turboprop conversion programme replacing the 1,000 hp Huosai-5 radial engine with a more powerful turboprop.
In addition to Aeroflot, the Soviet Air Force, and other Eastern Bloc military forces including Vietnam People's Air Force (VPAF), dozens of nations and airlines have employed the An-2 in civil and military roles. In recent years, it has also gained popularity in the USA and Canada as a bushplane.
