Dreamtex has landed a new partnership with International Space Archives to create NASA-inspired textiles.
The deal will see Dreamtex create space themed bedding and home textiles to mark this year’s 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
The range includes single and double-sized bedding to appeal to space enthusiasts of all ages. The duvet graphics show the iconic moment of the moon landing on the front, above the caption ‘I Need My Space’.
A constellation effect on black material adorns the reverse side and the pillowcases come in black with a centralised NASA logo. Completing the initial home range is a black towel featuring the NASA logo.
“It is hard to believe that the Apollo 11 moon landing was 50 years ago,” said Andy Downie, commercial director at Dreamtex. “It is the perfect time for us to be releasing these bedding sets and we are looking forward to playing our part in celebrating this wonderful moment in history.
“This new partnership with ISA further demonstrates how Dreamtex is always looking for iconic brands to add to our portfolio and to ensure we are consistently offering families great choice for bedroom décor.”
Andy continued: “This NASA design is going to excite any child with an interest in space and science, but it is also very suitable for teenagers and adults who want to show appreciation for the aeronautics research undertaken by NASA.” | aerospace | 1 |

Landsat images were worth an estimated $2 billion to users in 2011.
An IITF scientist and collaborator demonstrated a new, highly accurate, automated way to detect clouds and their shadows from satellite images over unusually cloudy places, like tropical rainforests, which will allow more accurate automated mapping of tropical deforestation and forest regrowth. The new method also permits, for the first time, scientists to accurately and automatically detect clouds and shadows in satellite images lacking thermal image data. Unlike prior work, the method accurately detects clouds and shadows in imagery from a new European satellite mission, Sentinel 2, and from the 1970s. This advantage extends the period of observation back to the 1970s instead of the 1980s, and increases the frequency of satellite image observations that are usable for automated tropical forest monitoring starting in 2015, when Sentinal 2 was launched. Combining Landsat with Sentinel 2 imagery will give users images every 2-3 days instead of every 16 days for Landsat alone. Increased frequency of observations will also allow more frequent monitoring of forest and agricultural productivity. Automatically detecting clouds and their shadows in satellite images without a thermal channel has long been a holy grail of tracking tropical deforestation. This is especially true for tropical rainforests known as cloud forests, which get their name because they are on mountains where much of the time they are immersed in clouds and mist. One of the study’s test sites was Puerto Rico, where the U.S. National Forest known as El Yunque has extensive cloud forests. | aerospace | 1 |

At the beginning of the year, NASA sent two of the cuboid trios to the ISS, where the robots finally help with household chores, participate in scientific experiments and make the entire site look more futuristic.
First, Bumble flies – Honey and Queen follow – though the Astrobee can not just fly out of the spaceship and circle the ISS. Instead, astronauts had to test the robot's navigation system to autonomously move through the facility.
Since GPS is not much use in space, the Astrobees rely on a camera-based location system. This looks at the environment and compares this to a visual map of the interior of the ISS. Because there is no gravity on the space station, Bumble can move in any direction and rotate in place, using fans to maneuver.
The first tests were to make sure the camera navigation system was working properly. The astronaut of the Canadian space agency David Saint-Jacques physically moved the robot around the space station. Further testing looked at how well it can respond to commands such as "11.8 inches forward" and "45 degrees right", NASA said. More complex movements and commands will follow.
The ultimate goal, however, is at least temporarily a degree of autonomy. The robots will be able to fly on their own, check their equipment and take stock. These tasks are currently performed by a human astronaut. At other times, controllers on Earth can remotely control the astrobes, perform experiments, and check ISS systems.
Flexibility was considered in the design of the three robots. The housing contains three payload slots, into which different tools or other devices can be inserted. For example, a robotic arm can be attached, with which the astrobes can manipulate or fix objects on rails of the ISS. This could help them to save energy when no movement is needed, but they must stay in place.
Also this software is modular and adaptable. NASA has actually made it open source in the hope that robotics experts would join in and add new features. The tests are expected to begin in 2020.
Later, the results of the three astrobes on the ISS could determine which robots would help the astronauts on the Moon and Mars. NASA intends to use robots there for maintenance and other tasks to help a relatively small crew of people make maximum use of their time off-planet. | aerospace | 1 |

The region in space that contains the Earth's magnetic field, known as the magnetosphere, protects us from the charged particles that come streaming from the sun. By acting as a barrier to this solar wind, it is also thought to prevent these particles transferring enough of their energy to gas molecules in the atmosphere for these molecules to escape the Earth's gravitational pull.
This may be only half the story, though. At the poles, the magnetosphere might be aiding loss of the atmosphere, according to Stas Barabash of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics in Kiruna, who is principal investigator for the European Space Agency's Venus Express mission. Barabash bases his suggestion on measurements of the flow of ions escaping from Venus, Mars and Earth. It is thought that ...

He said flight recorder data showed there had been no fire or explosion prior to the crash, which claimed 92 lives.
Lt Gen Bainetov added that audio from a cockpit conversation recorder indicated a “special situation” unfolded on the plane.
Investigators have not ruled a terror attack and are also looking at the possibility that a technical problem or human error caused the plane to come down.
Russia’s security agency has previously said it had “no indications or facts pointing at the possibility of a terror attack or an act of sabotage”.
Search and rescue workers have recovered 19 bodies and approximately 230 body fragments, while more than 2,000 pieces of the jet have been pulled from the seabed.
Among those who died were dozens of singers in Russia’s world-famous military choir who were on their way to Syria to entertain troops.
Russia has grounded all its Tu-154 jets until it is known what brought down the aircraft.
The Russian defence ministry said the plane that crashed was built in 1983 and underwent factory check-ups and maintenance in 2014.
Investigators have taken samples from a fuel tank used to fill the plane, which flew from Moscow’s Chkalovsky military airport and stopped for refuelling in Sochi.
It crashed just 70 seconds after takeoff, from an altitude of 250 metres.
At the time it was travelling at more than 224 miles per hour, Mr Bainetov said. | aerospace | 1 |

Well, that bit goes wrong, not?
Ryanair is taking some flak for attempting to troll British Airways on a Monday wrong flight plan, which resulted in a British Airways flight to end up in Scotland rather than the intended destination of Germany.
DELTA, KOREAN AIR APOLOGIZES AFTER TEENS HAVE BEEN BOOTED FROM THE FLIGHT, STRANDED IN SOUTH KOREA
Shortly after the news of the British Airways gaffe made headlines, Ryanair tweeted that it was a “gift” for the airline, and a picture of the “Geography for Dummies” reference book.
The tweet, however, proved to have the opposite effect than what Ryanair is probably intended, as the commenters began torturing the low-cost carrier for poking fun of British Airways when it has its own alleged customer service shortcomings, and even a similar mistake in 2006.
NAKED PASSENGER SPOTTED WANDERING ASPHALT IN CHICAGO AIRPORT
Others made reference to an incident from 2006, when an aircraft operated on behalf of Ryanair accidentally landed at the wrong airstrip in Northern Ireland.
As noted by the BBC, Ryanair had also been voted by travelers to be the worst short-haul airline in the uk for six consecutive years.
A representative from Ryanair was not immediately available for comment.

British Airways has confirmed 525 km error on Monday, after one of the flights to Dusseldorf, Germany, ended up in Edinburgh, Scotland.
“We are working with the WDL Aviation, which operated this flight on behalf of British Airways, to determine why the incorrect flight plan is filed,” the statement read. “We have apologized to customers for this interruption of the trip and go with all of them individually.”
The flight was redirected to Düsseldorf, a two-and-a-half hours after the “involuntary stopover in Edinburgh,” the turning of the typical hour and ten minute flight in a nearly six hour journey.
British Airways said the safety of passengers was never compromised.”

The heavier planes are being relocated to JKIA in a move aimed at decongesting the smaller but busy Wilson Airport.
The planes, comprising Dash8-300, Dash 8- 200, Dash 8-100, Fokker 50 and Bombardiers account for a significant part of the fleet used by local air operators in Kenya.
“It will be such that you operate from JKIA, but if the aircraft needs to be maintained you fly back to Wilson, go into the hangar and fix it then you come out of the hanger and fly out. It has a cost, yes but that’s the price of progress,” said Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) director-general Gilbert Kibe in an interview with the Business Daily on Friday.
The directive will take effect at a date yet to be agreed upon by stakeholders in the aviation business in the country.
Operators have, however, faulted the move, saying JKIA is equally congested and has no space to build hangars, let alone carry out repairs.
Managers of local airlines who spoke to the Business Daily in confidence said the move will result in extra costs.
It will also imply that firms with aircraft above seven tonnes will rely on maintenance facilities owned by other airlines should they opt to service their aircraft at JKIA. Airlines will also be required to acquire new operational offices at JKIA and part with landing fee and other charges to be able to operate effectively there.
“The move does not make sense since JKIA is equally congested. Remember that it’s practically impossible at the moment to get space to build a hangar at JKIA. We foresee a situation where some airlines will fall out of business,” said an air operator in an earlier interview. | aerospace | 1 |

Any space mission is operated in an environment that is recognised as a commonly shared resource among nations and operators world-wide. In that sense, a mission today cannot be designed without taking into account its interaction with the environment but also the impact on other missions. The proliferation of space debris is a growing concern, which led to the establishment of space debris reference models by different agencies already a few decades ago, with the European reference being the Meteoroid And Space debris Terrestrial Environment Reference (MASTER) model. Those developments were followed by software exploiting that knowledge to address design problems related to space debris mitigation. In 2004, ESA released the first version of its Debris Risk Assessment and Mitigation Analysis (DRAMA) tool suite. In 2020 the development started a Debris Mitigation Facility (DMF) aimed at a single unified set of software tools and procedures in view of the Agency’s requirements and international regulation when it comes to space debris mitigation. The objective of this activity is to integrate and extend ESA’s PROOF capabilities into the DMF framework to support missiondesigners in the detectability and trackability requirements verification. It will include extensions to the functionality of PROOFsuch as an assessment how well objects can be catalogued and a new detection model to account for complex spacecraft models.

This is a great demonstration of how successful the 737 program has been. When Boeing first implemented the program in 1967 it was another seven years before Airbus delivered their first aircraft. This got me to thinking about how old are the airplanes we fly on? What is the average age of airline fleets in the US and how their age affects the passengers experience? | aerospace | 1 |

The subject is the 2020 announcement that Elon Musk had hired SpaceX’s general counsel to draft a constitution for the planet Mars: „I’m actually working on a constitution for Mars. No country can claim sovereignty over heavenly bodies“ (David Anderman, former SpaceX General Counsel, 2020). Comments received were forwarded to the General Counsel, Vice President, COO, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who were also asked for their assessments.
Fundamental to all activities in space, according to the comments received, are the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, the United Nations Charter, and international law. The claim of sovereignty, such as the installation of a constitution, by a single nation or by non-state legal entities (such as the SpaceX company) would consequently be unlawful (see Art. II, VI and VIII Outer Space Treaty).
Incidentally, if one of the contracting states (currently 110) fears interference with the use and exploration of outer space and celestial bodies, it may request consultations on planned undertakings and experiments (Article IX Outer Space Treaty).

The 28-year-old comedian will be part of the fourth human flight to space aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft, the company said on Monday (March 14). The 10-minute flight will lift off from a Texas launch facility on March 23.
Davidson, an honorary guest on the flight, will be joined by five paying customers. They include investor Marty Allen, real estate veteran Marc Hagle and his wife Sharon Hagle, University of North Carolina professor Jim Kitchen and George Nield, the president of Commercial Space Technologies.
“The King of Staten Island” actor is the latest celebrity to take the trip to the edge of space, following in the footsteps of 90-year-old Star Trek actor William Shatner and Good Morning America host Michael Strahan. The eldest daughter of U.S. astronaut Alan Shepard, 74-year-old Laura Shepard Churchley, flew to space in December.
The spacecraft itself is named after Alan Shepard, who in 1961 made history as the second person and first American to travel into space – a 15-minute suborbital flight as one of NASA’s original “Mercury Seven” astronauts.
Bezos flew to space on Blue Origin’s inaugural flight in July last year with his brother Mark Bezos, trailblazing octogenarian female aviator Wally Funk and 18-year-old Oliver Daeman, a Dutch high school graduate and beneficiary of a $28 million auction sweepstake. | aerospace | 1 |

Its design was revolutionary, with its swept back wings, and it had a performance that was unrivalled at the time. In early July 1944 it reached 1,130 km/h (700 mph), an unofficial flight airspeed record unmatched by jet powered aircraft for almost a decade. Despite having little operational effect on the outcome of the war the Me 163 can be rightly considered a significant technological accomplishment.
Designed by Brian Taylor this 1:6.45 scale model of the Komet is constructed from all wood, using a large, well detailed single plan sheet. The model features a dolly that is released after take off. With a wingspan of 1,265 mm (49.75”) it has a lively performance on the recommended .30 cu. in. 2-stroke, with no viscous tendencies, but it can also be flown very slowly. A moulded canopy and cowl are available, along with a laser cut wood pack. This aeroplane is designed to be powered by a two-stroke engine, but experienced modellers should be able to convert it to electric power (details not supplied, so please send us information if you make a successful EP version!) It is not suitable for beginners, either to plan building or model flying.

Hi and welcome to my 30th suggestion, which is about the Thai T-50TH combat trainer, hope you like it.
First of all:
- This is a suggestion for an aircraft we could see in game at some point in the Future , that doesn´t mean next Patch or somewhere in the near Future
- Feel free to share more Information and / or correct me if something is wrong
- Discuss respectfully, any aggressive kind or verbal abuse will be reported, the Forum rules also apply here
The T-50 program was all about creating an indigenous trainer that could fly at supersonic speeds. Its main purpose was to get pilots ready for planes like the F-16 and F-15, taking over from the old T-38 and A-37 trainers the ROKAF was using. The lineage of the T-50 series, particularly the FA-50 variant, bears a striking resemblance to the configuration of the KF-16. The groundwork for this endeavor, termed the KTX-2 program and initiated in 1992, faced a setback in 1995 when financial constraints led to its suspension by the Ministry of Finance and Economy. Nonetheless, the basic design for the aircraft was established by 1999.
Funding came mostly from the South Korean government (70%), with KAI chipping in (17%) and Lockheed Martin (13%). The T-50 got its official name, the “T-50 Golden Eagle,” in February 2000. The U.S. military saved the “T-50A” name to avoid mix-ups. The first T-50 has been assembled between in 2001 and took its first flight in August 2002. KAI and Lockheed Martin were working together to sell the T-50 globally. In December 2003, the ROKAF signed up for 25 T-50s, expecting them between 2005 and 2009.
The first T-50s had Lockheed Martin’s AN/APG-67(v)4 radar and a F404-GE-102 engine with Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) made by Samsung Techwin under license.
In September 2015, Thailand’s government decided to go for a KAI T-50 variant, known as the T-50TH, for its air force instead of the Chinese Hongdu L-15. They wanted to replace their old L-39 Albatros trainers. The plan was to get four T-50TH planes delivered by March 2018. Then, in July 2017, Thailand’s government approved eight more aircraft. They were all set to sign the contract later that month. The deliveries started rolling in from January 2018 onward.
Royal Thai Air Force T-50THs have undergone phased improvements over the years. Phase 3 included the Israeli-design EL/M-2032 radar, CMDS (chaff, flare and Datalink), RWR and other modifications to upgrade the original T-50 trainer to the capability level of an TA-50.
The T-50 Golden Eagle shares a similarity with the F-16 Fighting Falcon, although its about 80% smaller.
Inside, the trainer accommodates two pilots seated in tandem.
The design of this aircraft includes a mid-wing monoplane with slightly swept wings equipped with widely extended wing roots (LERX). The aircraft is controlled via fly-by-wire, with all functions being controlled using the HOTAS principle.
The cockpit itself is equipped with four 127 mm multifunction screens (MFD) from Honeywell and a head-up display (HUD). Avionics include various systems such as an inertial navigation system and GPS. It is powered by a FADEC-controlled engine from General Electric, which is supplied by seven internal tanks with a total of 2650 liters and up to three external tanks with a capacity of 570 liters.
Following the Phase 3 upgrades, the T-50TH Golden Eagle has received improvements in its capabilities.
Among the notable improvements are the integration of EL/M-2032 radar, Radar Warning Receivers (RWR), AGM-65 and countermeasures. Additionally, the incorporation of a datalink system represents a noteworthy enhancement in communication and coordination during training exercises. This feature facilitates real-time data sharing between multiple aircraft.
The armament of the T-50TH (Phase 3) is better than the standard version, but weaker than that of a full-fledged TA-50 Block 20.
The on-board armament is a three-barreled M61A1 with 205 rounds, and the AIM-9P and AIM-9L are available as air-to-air missiles. For ground targets there are LAU-3 rockets, AGM-65, Mk.82 bombs and GBU-38 JDAM, although technically you cannot use JDAMs with lack of self-designation capability due to missing targeting pod.
Since there is nothing concrete about the number of specific weapons, I list them with X-Y (*number to number)*.

Thales Alenia Space held its fifth #HelloSpace event in September and October, organized by the Innovation Cluster.
The two-part event brought together 60 participants in Cannes, Toulouse, Rome and Turin. The cluster’s Innovation Fellows brainstormed in nine groups to get them thinking outside the box on a range of forward-looking topics, the aim being to stimulate innovation within the company and spawn initiatives, concepts, processes and proposals for innovative technologies that could take shape in the near future.
This fifth edition of #HelloSpace took the form of a design fiction exercise. On day one, participants were briefed about future market trends and invited to imagine a future in which public support for the space sector is waning in response to space tourism, visual pollution from satellite megaconstellations and the risk of increased collisions and falling space debris.
On day two, they came up with solutions to make space more sustainable, for example with in-orbit debris recycling facilities, bio-designed/biodegradable satellites or a lunar circular economy. But space didn’t wait for fully decarbonized solutions such as these to come on stream before delivering vital services for the world’s citizens. How could we anticipate natural disasters without environment-monitoring, oceanography and weather satellites? How could we geo-locate teams, individuals or boats adrift at sea without satellite-based navigation systems? Examples of applications that help and protect us in our daily lives are legion. This fifth #HelloSpace is a timely reminder of how space technologies are serving the planet, echoing Thales Alenia Space’s vision: Space for Life.
Innovation Cluster: catalyzing and boosting innovations
Created in 2014, the Innovation Cluster aims to spawn disruptive industrial, technical and commercial concepts, and to encourage new initiatives within the company. The cluster is integral to Thales Alenia Space’s transformation strategy, firmly focused on nurturing a stronger innovation culture by stimulating intrapreneurship and creativity. Open to all, this network funds innovative value-added projects proposed by employees from across the company. It is thus a fertile breeding ground for advancing disruptive concepts, complementing R&D and reaching across the enterprise. The very agile structure can instantly provide the budget and resources needed to rapidly validate solutions with the potential to fuel a real market dynamic, and propose leap-ahead technologies and new development avenues for customers.
Thales Alenia Space's FabLab in Toulouse - Picture taken in 2018
Several fablabs have already taken shape at Thales Alenia Space under the Innovation Cluster’s guiding hand. It has also organized all #HelloSpace hackathons to date. It was precisely at the first #HelloSpace in 2015 that Turin hatched the PIUME concept. Drawing on Thales Alenia Space’s expertise in crewed spaceflight and orbital infrastructures on the International Space Station, PIUME is a suite of modules that can be used in extreme or hostile environments, be it in mountainous terrain, in the desert, in the Antarctic or in space. It could also be deployed in all kinds of environments, such as polar bases, desert camps, forward military posts and post-disaster situations. The concept is the ideal survival solution for remote or hostile regions.
An initiative like #HelloSpace is more than ever a fertile breeding ground for advancing future disruptive concepts in the space sector.

A 1:1 model of the Skat was
published the first time at MAKS 2007. The Skat is a flying-wing design with Stealth abilities.
Development of the Mikoyan Skat is the result of a requirement of the Russian Air Force in the year 2005. The Russian Air Force wanted an UCAV ( Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle ), that would have similarities with the American Boeing X-45 Spiral. T
he design of the Russian Aircrat Corporation MiG ( alias MiG Skat ), prevailed against the competing design by Sukhoi.
The goal of the Skat UCAV is to study and to get experience with Stealth technology and experience with autonomous operating aircraft, to balance the technological residues of the 1990s, which arised due to financial problems. The Skat is the first Russian Next Generation UCAV, that was first shown publicly at the MAKS 2007.
The Skat UCAV is intended to carry weapons in two ventral bays sized to carry missiles as large as the Kh-31.
During flight testing, the MiG Skat should be used against not moving targets. But it will be also able to destroy moving ground and see targets.
Alongside the Unmanned Skat-D, a manned version ( Skat-PD ) was planned as well, but development was cancelled.
The flying wing design of the Skat with a wingspan of 10m is very similar to the American Northtrop B-2 Spirit, and is likely the source of its name (Skat translates to "Stingray" in English). The fuselage of the aircraft is made of composite materials. Because of its tricycle landing gear the Skat is able to take-off and land on conventional runways.
The Skat is powered by a RD-5000B turbofan engine, which is a modified derivative of the Klimov R-33D, used on the MiG-29 Fulcrum. For the Skat the afterburner was removed and the engines were flattened. The inlets are on the top of the fuselage. It has a maximum thrust of 49,4 kN. So that the Skat is able to reach a top speed of 800 km/h with a maximum take-off weight of 10 tons, at altitude. The Skat is expected to have a service ceiling of 12,000 m and a range of 4000 km.
The Skat will be able to carry 2 tons of armament in two internal weapon bays. It should be equipped with Air-to-Surface missiles, Glide bombs, Cruise missiles and anti-radiation missiles. | aerospace | 1 |

There are plenty of events to check out in the night sky throughout the year. Seeing the planets of our solar system 'team up' is probably one of the most fascinating. On the nights of July 12-13 of this year, two of the nearest planets to Earth will be extremely close together in the western sky, just after sunset.

According to NASA, during this 'close conjunction' on Monday night, Venus and Mars will appear just one half of a degree apart from one another. That's roughly the width of an index finger, held out at arm's length.
The two planets will be roughly the same distance apart from one another on the night of July 13, as well.

Of course, Venus and Mars are not anywhere near each other, in the grand view of the solar system.
Currently, Venus is 214 million kilometres from Earth. Mars is farther, at over 371 million kilometres away. That puts Venus and Mars 157 million kilometres apart from one another in space. That's a little more than the average distance between the Earth and the Sun (1 astronomical unit or 150 million km)!
It's their relative positions in the solar system, as viewed from Earth, that makes them appear so close together in our sky.
This overhead view of the inner solar system shows the locations of the planets on July 12, 2021. Venus and Mars are over an astronomical unit away from each other, but the two lines joining the planets to Earth reveal how they look so close together from our perspective.

These two planets won't get this close together again for some time, but you can see them in the sky together early in 2022. Starting in February, they appear in the morning sky, just before sunrise, near the eastern horizon. Towards late March, Saturn joins them, as well, forming a very close conjunction with Mars in early April. | aerospace | 1 |

ISRO’s PSLV Successfully Launches IRNSS-1I Navigation Satellite From Sriharikota Days After Big Jolt: 10 Points
While most of India slept, ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle or PSLV blasted off into space from Sriharikota off the coast of Andhra Pradesh at 4:04 am today, carrying IRNSS-1I, the eighth satellite for India’s homegrown global positioning system. The successful launch came just 14 days after the much larger Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle or GSLV rocket launch on March 29 spelled a setback for the space agency as the Rs 270 crore GSAT 6A that it was carrying was lost to a systems failure. Thursday’s launch created history for ISRO, becoming the fastest back-to-back launch in the agency’s history.
Here are 10 facts on the PSLV’s IRNSS-1I launch:
- ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organisation, declared the 43rd mission of the PSLV a success after it placed the IRNSS 1I satellite into a precise orbit. The last satellite launch for the satellite-aided navigation NAVIC programme by the PSLV had failed in August 2017.
- After the launch, ISRO Chairman Dr K Sivan said, "I am extremely happy to announce that the 8th navigation satellite of India was launched successfully into the NAVIC constellation. We are moving towards a major goal. This NAVIC constellation will create history."
- India needs seven operational satellites for providing failsafe satellite based navigation. The 1,425-kg satellite was made by the Bengaluru-based Alpha Design Technologies, in collaboration with ISRO.
- The first satellite in the network, IRNSS 1A, ran into trouble when the atomic clocks onboard the satellite failed one after another. Last year, on August 31, ISRO launched a replacement satellite – IRNSS 1H. This time, the rocket failed and the satellite was never placed into orbit. This forced the space agency to launch the IRNSS 1I as a replacement.
- The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) has the operational name of NAVIC, an acronym for "Navigation with Indian Constellation". The system is designed to be equivalent to the Global Positioning System or GPS which is owned by the US.
- The NAVIC system is expected to provide location tracking within 20 meters of actual positions, especially in the 1,500 km area around the country’s borders – a zone where the maximum threat perception lies. The satellite will have both civilian and military uses.
- The need for an indigenous GPS was felt soon after the Kargil conflict, when India desperately needed the services of a satellite-based navigation system, but did not have one of its own. The American system was not available at the time.
- Only the US and Russia currently have fully operational GPS systems. China and Europe are still in the process of deploying their full systems. A satellite-based navigation system under one’s control and command is considered a deep strategic asset.
- The launch of the satellite came two weeks after its GSAST 6A failure. Sources in ISRO have hinted that a "power systems failure" led to the satellite going AWOL.
- A top satellite expert from ISRO confirmed to NDTV that the GSAT 6Awas a heavyweight communications satellite and the relatively lightweight IRNSS 1 used a "very different power system", which gave the space agency confidence to march ahead with the launch.

Cockpit inserted into upper fuselage half and intake trunking, airbrake bay, wheel wells, jet pipes and arrestor hook located in lower fuselage part. The instructions recommend cutting out the locating holes for the underwing stores racks in the lower wing at this stage, although this is hard to do accurately given the location of some of these right at the edge of the thin plastic on the outer wing join. Fuselage booms required a smidgen of filler on the upper join. Joining the two fuselage halves is a relatively painless experience although a second pair of hands would have been handy for securing the booms while aligning the horizontal stabiliser..

Calvin Scovel released a two-page summary of his report to lawmakers Friday, a day after Federal Aviation Administration officials disclosed the findings and promised to take steps to correct the problems. The full report, the result of an extensive investigation by Scovel's office, has not been released.
The report marked the second time in three years that the DOT's inspector general has substantiated whistleblower allegations about misreporting of operational errors by FAA air traffic controllers at DFW, one of the world's largest airports. The latest findings create, "at a minimum, the appearance of a cover-up," Scovel said.
Both investigations, which stem from complaints made by whistleblower Anne Whiteman, focused on DFW's Terminal Radar Approach Control, or TRACON, where radar operators direct air traffic within a 60-mile radius of the heavily congested airport.
Other components of the air control system include the control tower, which directs take-offs and landings, and en-route centers, which handle long-distance traffic. TRACONs and control towers handle approximately three-fourths of all air traffic operations in the United States.
The initial investigation, released in 2005 by Scovel's predecessor, Kenneth Mead, cited an operational error in which a controller directed a passenger jet and a business jet into converging courses, drawing them within seven seconds of a mid-air collision before the pilots took corrective courses.
Scovel's summary did not cite examples but contained statistics showing that, from November 2005 to July 2007, Dallas-Fort Worth's TRACON management misclassified 52 controller operational errors and 10 operational deviations as pilot deviations or non-events. Deviation is FAA jargon for when an aircraft controlled by one operator flies into space assigned to another controller.
Scovel called on FAA headquarters to permanently change the DFW TRACON management and consider "appropriate administrative action" for seven TRACON managers "who bear the responsibility" for the misclassifications. He also called for a "top-to-bottom review" of safety management at the FAA's Air Traffic Office.
FAA officials announced Thursday that they had replaced and reassigned Dallas-Fort Worth's TRACON facility manager and assistant manager pending further investigation.
Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, whose district includes part of the airport, said the improvements are long needed.
"I'm glad they're taking this seriously and making some changes that are long overdue," he said. "I just welcome the scrutiny that's being applied to the FAA because I think it's necessary."
Scovel said that while his office found "`compelling evidence to conclude that the misclassifications were intentional, we were unable to ascribe a specific motive to TRACON management for doing so."
The investigators also found no evidence that the managers "acted in response to any direction from FAA senior leaders or an FAA-wide policy,"' the report said. But both investigations, said Scovel, "found a lack of proper oversight within FAA." | aerospace | 1 |

Congratulations on your decision to learn to fly! We recognize you have many options in selecting an instructor for your training needs. We are honored you are considering Blevins Enterprises.
We work digilently to offer the best instruction and outstanding training aircraft at reasonable prices. We also want to be upfront and honest about the cost. While detailed below, we recommend most students plan on spending between $9000 and $10,000 to obtain a private pilot's license.
That said, it takes the "average" pilot 60 to 65 hours to obtain the private pilot's license. Our students usually beat that average by a few hours. However, your individual success will primarily be based on your frequency of instruction (the more weekly lessons the better) and your personaly learning habits.
The first step in obtaining the private pilot's license is to "solo." This process involves mastering 17 required skills. The most difficult of these is landing the aircraft. It usually takes about 40-50 attempts before a beginning pilot learns to master all the necessary elements to guide the aircraft to a soft/safe runway landing in all types of conditions.
Once you have soloed, you are able to fly and practice on
your own. This rewarding time is fun as you take the
controls of the aircraft without an instructor present.
While working on maneuvers as part of your solo work, you
will continue to receive dual instruction on IFR emergencies,
maximum performance takeoffs and landings, night flying,
and cross country flying. Cross country flying is terrifi fun
because now you actually get to go places!
After a mock checkride, you will be ready to meet the FAA examiner and take your checkride. Once passed your a private pilot! At that point you can fly family and friends!!
Aviation is expensive. We recognize that, but also want to honest about the cost involved. While the FAA regulations only require 40 hours to achieve the private pilot license, few students can accomplish that goal in that amount of time. The national average is 55 hours. We price our course with the average. However, you only pay for hours flown. The following is a breakdown of anticipated cost using a late-model 172.
Aircraft Rental = $160 per hour with fuel. You will need 55 hours on average for a cost of $8800.
Aircraft Fuel = Included.
Flight Instruction Fees = $50 per hour air and ground. Some of your flying will be solo work, but those dual hours needed will average 50 hours for a cost of $2500.
Books, Supplies, Materials = $300 for the ground
study course, $100 for other supplies and charts
FAA Checkride = $400
TOTAL FEES = $12,100 for 55 hours.
Less if you require less total time, more if the
number of hours needed exceeds 55 hours total.

Ron Blevins is a Commercial Pilot with CFI and CFII ratings. His total time exceeds 2000 hours with more than 1000 hours of teaching experience. Ron's has signed off numerous students for private pilot FAA checkrides. His passing rate is outstanding.
Ron trains to "proficiency." This means you will master each of the 17 required skills prior to solo. Once that phase is completed (usually in 20-25 hours), the final skills needed to pass the FAA checkride (IFR hood work, night flying, all cross country work) can usually be accomplished quickly. | aerospace | 1 |

Laying out a vision of the Niagara Falls airport that combines its military use with a growing number of commercial flights -- including new ones announced Thursday by Allegiant Air -- Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority officials said the facility serves a different purpose from that of the region's main airport in Cheektowaga.
"It's a longer runway than at Buffalo, and the joint use by the military and those big C-130s makes it vital to our region," NFTA spokesman C. Douglas Hartmayer said, citing the transport planes flown by Air Force reservists at the base.
Hartmayer also said the long runway at Niagara Falls makes the facility the top candidate for international and other long-distance commercial flights should that potential market develop.
"That's the one that will help us attract that kind of activity," Hartmayer said.
Then again, the runway project is driven as much by necessity as by vision.
The 11,000-foot main runway at Niagara Falls had not received much attention in many years, Hartmayer said.
As a result, the runway is "showing some cracks," said Col. Allan L. Swartzmiller, commander at the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station.
Without repair, Swartzmiller said, "it could be hazardous to aviation."
Fixing the runway will cost $23 million, and about 90 percent of the money will come from Washington, said NFTA Executive Director Kimberley A. Minkel.
Officials announced Thursday that the Federal Aviation Administration will kick in $11.7 million and that the rest of the federal share will come from the military construction budget.
>Work starting early
Work will start next week and be completed within a year, Minkel said. The early release of the FAA money will enable an early start to the project.
"Typically, in past years, funding wasn't released until summer," Minkel said, adding that the contract for the runway work has been awarded to Sealand Construction of Rochester.
Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul, D-Amherst, said she spoke with acting FAA Administrator Michael P. Huerta and urged him to move up the release because of Western New York's short construction season.
"This money could have gone anywhere in the country. This is discretionary money from the Federal Aviation Administration," Hochul said.
The money comes while Hochul is leading the effort to try to find a new mission for the Air National Guard's 107th Airlift Wing, which would lose its current cargo mission as part of proposed Pentagon budget cuts.
"As I'm making the argument in Washington every single day as to why we should have a new mission for the Niagara Falls air base, this runway is an important component of the argument we're making," Hochul said.
The runway reconstruction "makes us viable for another 20 years," said Col. John J. Higgins, vice wing commander of the 107th Airlift Wing of the Air National Guard, which shares the base with the Air Force Reserve's 914th Airlift Wing.
Last year, the secondary runway at the airport, measuring 5,500 feet, was rehabilitated, Swartzmiller said.
The runway reconstruction project comes amid a period of unprecedented growth at the Niagara Falls airport, which has seen its passenger count increase from about 1,000 in 2009 to more than 200,000 today.
>Florida flights added
That number could grow even more, thanks to new Florida flights that Allegiant Air announced Thursday.
Allegiant, which started at Niagara Falls in December with flights to St. Petersburg-Clearwater and later added service to Orlando-Sanford, will begin flying July 1 to Fort Lauderdale.
The three-hour flights will depart Sundays and Thursdays at 7:55 p.m. Incoming flights from Fort Lauderdale will land at 7:15 p.m.
Last month's abrupt shutdown of Direct Air, which had been the top passenger carrier at Niagara Falls, had nothing to do with the move to add Fort Lauderdale service, according to Keith Hansen, director of airports for Allegiant.
"That was an opportunity we saw. That didn't have anything to do with Direct Air," he said.
The Fort Lauderdale flights will use MD-80 aircraft with at least 150 seats. The airline is currently redesigning its MD-80 cabins to increase seating to 166, Hansen said.
Base fares will start at $94.99. Allegiant charges $35 per bag to check luggage or to carry a bag aboard. Fliers can save money on the fees by paying them when they buy their tickets online, Hansen said.
Hochul said Allegiant's announcement was another key component in the airport's growth.
"Between Allegiant's expansion and the federal investment announced today," she said, "I am confident that Niagara Falls International Airport will be a key component in Western New York's economic development, and will serve as an international gateway to travelers and increase regional tourism revenues."

While pilots agreed to help the airline and its administration through the Covid-19 pandemic part, they insisted on quitting if Air India doesn’t agree to provide a proportion reduce on gross wage as per particular person’s earnings. Looking at market situations, the pilots advised obligatory go away with out pay (LWP) on a month-to-month foundation for all staff.
This comes after the pilots, on Monday, had written to Bansal to not give 10% pay reduce to class IV staff and advised giving LWP to each different worker as solely few plane have been flying because of poor demand.
In a letter to fellow pilots after the assembly, Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) which consists of the airline’s Airbus pilots (slim physique plane), and Indian Pilots Guild (PG) that consists of Boeing pilots (broad physique plane) stated, “We informed MoCA to clear our long pending 25% dues immediately and allow pilots to quit Air India with immediate effect.’’
The letter, sent on Thursday night, read, “We also requested the management not to instigate us into any unpleasant agitation at this crucial time. We are only standing by principle with a demand that any pay cut has to be across the board as per market standards for all employees.’
Air India refused to comment.
Air India Employees Union (AIEU), consisting of cabin crew, aircraft engineers, radio officers and flight officers, service engineers was, however, upset with the management on the unilateral decision of the management in dealing with unions representing a single category (pilots) and bypassing other unions which represent all other categories of employees of the company.
“Please be informed that any decision taken with the unions under reference, will not be binding on our recognised union and its vast majority membership,” the union wrote to Bansal on Friday.
The letter additional learn, “In the event the management continues with such meetings with the said unions under reference, and in our absence discuss/decide or try to impose such decisions on matters involving categories which the Air India Employees Union represent, we reserve our right to resort to any action deemed fit, which may be noted.” | aerospace | 1 |

3 Russian Satellites Crash 900 Miles Off Hawaii’s Coast
Officials said that three Russian navigation satellites crashed into the Pacific Ocean off of Hawaii on Sunday after the rocket that was carrying them failed to reach orbit.
A Russian space agency official told RIA-Novosti news agency said the capsule carrying the three Glonass satellites plummeted into the ocean 900 miles off Honolulu.Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has said he expects the strategic significance of developing the Glonass system to rival the United State's Global Position System.
"According to preliminary data, the Proton rocket that took off from Baikonur at 1:25 pm (1025 GMT) took a wrong trajectory," said a Russian space agency source cited by Interfax.
"Consequently, the booster rocket could not put the satellites in the intended orbit and it fell back with them into the atmosphere," the source added.
Once the satellites separated from the Proton rocket, a second-stage booster rocket with the satellites aboard should have put them in orbit about 12 miles above earth.
"The ballistics experts have checked everything: the upper-stage rocket with the satellites is not on the main, intermediate nor emergency orbit," a source told RIA Novosti.
The three Glonass-M satellites were supposed to complete a constellation of satellites Moscow had already placed in orbit.
Putin said in April that Russia planned to equip all new cars sold in Russia in 2012 with the new navigation system that the Russian military developed in the 1980s.
He said Moscow planned to launch seven new Glonass satellites, which would ensure coverage of the entire planet.
Putin said that Russia would spend $40 million in 2011 on the system.
Rocosmos, the Russian space agency, said in 2008 that Venezuela and Cuba were interested in adopting the new system.
Russia's defense ministry confirmed the loss, but insisted that the incident would not affect the timeline of the new positioning system to be put into action.
"There are currently 26 satellites in the Glonass constellation, including two emergency satellites. This allows complete coverage of Russian Federation territory," the ministry said in a statement.
"The Russian space industry's capacity enables us to react rapidly to what's happened," it said, adding that the system would be fully in place next year in any case.

The question I am asked most often is "how did you get involved in aviation?". Most student pilots have parents or relatives that are pilots who helped them get a foot in the door. However, I do not come from a family with a background in aviation. So, where did the spark to become a pilot come from?
The first time I flew on an airplane, I was four years old and on my way to the happiest place in the world, Walt Disney World. I remember boarding the plane and the captain giving me a pair of plastic pilot wings that I wore with a giant grin across my face. I was completely blown away by seeing the world from 35,000 feet. Growing up, my mom took me to a local airshow at Offutt Air Force Base. This sparked an interest in serving the country. There was a C-17 at the first Defenders of Freedom Air & Space Show that I went to. I could not fathom how a plane of that size could fly. I ended up touring the inside of the C-17 and that was when I realized that I wanted to be a pilot.
A photo I took of a C-17 from Travis AFB on an overnight at KOMA
I felt embarrassed and ashamed for wanting to become a pilot. I had never met a female pilot. I did not start telling family and friends that this is what I wanted to do with my life until high school. I tried easing my family into the idea by mentioning how I wanted to join the Air Force. Then I slowly started bringing up the idea of wanting to fly. Needless to say, my family and friends thought it was just a phase. In high school, I was a 4.0 student as well as a varsity athlete in cross country, track and field, and trapshooting. I focused on my grades and extracurricular activities so that I would be competitive for an Air Force ROTC scholarship. My senior year of high school I was overjoyed by the news of receiving a Commander's Scholarship for the local detachment at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO). It was a full ride scholarship to study Aviation, I had my life planned out, so I thought.
My freshman year at UNO I juggled being a cadet and studying Aviation Management. At the end of my freshman year, I was crushed by the news that I had been medically disqualified from military service. That was a hard pill to swallow, but I knew I still wanted to fly. I ended up passing my first-class FAA medical and then began my private pilot training. I am now finishing up my commercial certificate with my eyes on a career in business aviation or with an airline.

By 1942, Pan Am Africa’s crews and aircraft were flying from Miami down to South America, across the Atlantic to Africa’s West Coast, across the Sahara, to the Middle East, on to what was British India, and across the mighty Himalayan Mountains (the “Hump”) to western China.
Who designed Pan Am uniforms?
In 1969 with the arrival of the first 747 Pan Am went for a new look and hired designer Evan Picone. The uniform with its now famous derby hat, was designed with intent of resembling an English riding habit, including a “stock tie” that could only be removed after takeoff.
When was the first black stewardess?
February 11, 1958
Hired in December 1957, on February 11, 1958, Taylor was the flight attendant on a Mohawk Airlines flight from Ithaca to New York, the first time such a position had been held by an African American.
Who was the first black flight attendant?
Léopoldine Doualla-Bella Smith
One woman who made waves was Léopoldine Doualla-Bella Smith, who is recognised as the first Black flight attendant.
What is a Pan Am stewardess?
A Pan Am stewardess’s youth and marital status were monitored by rules that allowed for dismissal on a woman’s 35th birthday or upon her marriage. A married woman, management feared, would miss work, gain weight or have a husband who often called to complain of her absence. But these women were no clichés.
How many Black flight attendants are there?
The most common ethnicity among Flight Attendants is White, which makes up 59.9% of all Flight Attendants. Comparatively, there are 15.6% of the Hispanic or Latino ethnicity and 11.7% of the Black or African American ethnicity.
Who was the first Black female pilot?
Once again, Bessie Coleman—the first Black woman to earn a pilot’s license just over a century ago, on June 15, 1921—experienced the exhilaration of soaring through the skies.
Who made history as the first flight attendant on May 15 1930?
On May 15, 1930, Ellen Church became the world’s first airline flight attendant (then called a “stewardess”), working a Boeing Air Transport (BAT) flight from Oakland, Calif., to Chicago. The flight took 20 hours and involved 13 stops along the way.
Why does Pan Am no longer exist?
Eventual Downturn Pan Am, having once called itself “The World’s Most Experienced Airline”, eventually filed for bankruptcy protection in January 1991. Due to rising fuel costs, as well as an inability to operate domestic routes the airline was starting to run at a loss.
What went wrong with Pan Am?
After failing to raise money from other sources, a phone call was made to Pan Am’s head office on December 4, 1991. The message was: “Shut it down.” Conrad: Pan American Airways went bankrupt, and they shut down services.
Does Pan Am airline still exist?
Attempting to quickly create a domestic system, Pan Am acquired Miami-based National Airlines in 1980. After selling most of its international routes to raise operating funds, Pan Am ended in bankruptcy in December 1991.
When was Pan Am made?
September 25, 2011Pan Am / First episode date
What was the first flight attendant uniform in the 1970s?
A Cambrian Air Services flight attendant uniform in 1970. Air hostesses just before welcoming passengers in 1971. Stewardess Cynthia Robertson holds a Bengal tiger cub while modeling the new synthetic tiger fur uniform for National Airlines in 1971.
How many photos of flight attendant uniforms are there?
We’ve rounded up 47 photos showing flight attendant uniforms from the 1930s to the present. Keep scrolling for a look at cabin crew style through the years (including back in the day when it was still the norm to call flight attendants stewardesses ).
Who designed the new Delta flight attendant uniforms?
Many airlines have collaborated with prominent designers like Balenciaga and Emilio Pucci to refresh their flight attendants’ looks. Just last week, Delta began utilizing new crew uniforms designed by Zac Posen. We’ve rounded up 47 photos showing flight attendant uniforms from the 1930s to the present.
What is the history of the United Airlines uniform?
Taking a page from Florence Nightingale, the first uniform created for United Airlines by an in-house, unknown designer featured a militaristic green cape, double-breasted jacket, and wool calf-length skirt. Women wore this conservative garb from 1930-1932 as they performed their in-flight duties. | aerospace | 1 |

Falcon 9 will launch the Crew version of their Dragon spacecraft (Dragon 2) to the International Space Station as part of the first demonstration flights of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.
The mission, called Demo-1, is currently set to launch at 2:49 a.m. Eastern Time on Saturday, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
As part of Demo-1, Crew Dragon will dock to the space station on March 3 (around 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time) and deliver roughly 400 pounds of supplies, including a test dummy strapped with sensors that will help let SpaceX and NASA know whether the flight is safe enough for human travelers. On March 8, Crew Dragon will leave the ISS and splashdown into the Atlantic Ocean.
The Crew Dragon (also called Dragon 2) is SpaceX’s flagship human exploration vehicle. The company has spent nearly all of this past decade working on its development.
Since the Space Shuttle Program ended in 2011, NASA has been without a working human spaceflight system, and has instead relied on Russian Soyuz missions to get its astronauts to the ISS and back.

"It is very much clear that there was no pilot error or technical snag. It was probably the laser-guided kit imported from Israel that may have malfunctioned," the official said.
The IAF initially said the laser-guided bomb and an air-to-air missile fired by Tejas had engaged targets with "deadly precision".
The official said Tejas was granted a kill even though the laser proximity fuse, which guides the bomb to the target, did not fire.
The IAF exercise saw the participation of 181 aircraft and firing of 71 bombs, 500 rockets and at least five air-to-air missiles.
"If one or two bombs could not hit the targets, it is completely normal during such mammoth firepower demonstration," the official said. | aerospace | 1 |

Payload includes two Nasa satellites that will track Earth’s water cycle
SpaceX successfully launched one of its used Falcon 9 crafts into space yesterday evening carrying a payload of seven satellites.
Lifting off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California at 3:48pm EST (7.48pm GMT), the rocket was powered by a first-stage booster that previously launched SpaceX’s secretive Zuma military mission in January.
The seven satellites heading into orbit comprise five Iridium Next communication satellites and two crafts for Nasa and the German Research Centre for Geosciences.
The Iridium Next satellites are part of a campaign by US telecommunications company Iridium to “replace the world’s largest commercial satellite network”, says CNet.
Meanwhile, Nasa and the German research centre’s “Grace” (gravity recovery and climate experiment) satellites will be used to track the water coverage and movement on Earth’s surface, the tech news site reports.
Although SpaceX recovers the booster stages of many of its rockets, to reduce costs and waste, the company did not attempt to land the rocket involved in yesterday’s mission, Space.com says.
The Elon Musk-owned aerospace company did try, but failed, to land the nose cone of the rocket, which keeps the satellites in place until they reach orbit.
The Falcon 9 rocket itself was one of SpaceX’s Block 4 models, which can only be used on two missions before being discontinued, says Ars Technica.
The company plans to move operations over to its new Block 5 rocket, which made its maiden flight two weeks ago and can used on at least ten missions before any major parts need replacing. | aerospace | 1 |

The residual compressive stress introduced by the shot blasting / shot peening is a percentage of the ultimate tensile stress, which increases as the strength / hardness of the part material itself increases. High strength / hardness metals are more brittle and more sensitive to surface defects. For its shot blasting / shot peening, allowing these high-strength metals can be used in the prone to fatigue under the working conditions. The aircraft landing gear is usually designed with a fatigue strength of 300 ksi (2068 MPa) combined with shot blasting / shot peening.
The steel parts that have not been shot / shot peened are machined to have the best fatigue properties of about 30 HRC. If the material strength / hardness exceeds this level, the fatigue strength will be reduced due to the increase in the sensitivity and brittleness of the surface gap. By the introduction of the compressive stress, the fatigue strength is increased in proportion to the increased strength / hardness. When the material hardness of 52 HRC, after strengthening the fatigue strength of up to 144 ksi (993 MPa), than did not strengthen the same material anti-fatigue strength increased more than 2 times.
Typical applications for the use of shot blasting / shot peening to improve high strength / hardness parts include wrenches and impact tools. In addition, the shallow scratches on the surface have little effect on the fatigue strength of the high strength steels subjected to shot blasting / shot peening, and are highly destructive to those that have not been strengthened. | aerospace | 1 |

During his six-week internship, he is focusing on projects involving global standards, regulatory research, and developing data for the testing portals in the Baldwin system.
The RedTail Flight Academy was established in September 2021 as an all-volunteer, 14 CFR Part 141 flight training program, inspired by and honoring the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen. The program uses aviation as an aspirational platform to recruit, develop, expose, and place underrepresented talent in life-changing jobs and careers. Gilbert was one of six members of the first class of the RedTail Flight Academy to graduate on May 21, marking the 80th anniversary first class of eight Documented Original Tuskegee Airmen students from across the U.S. and the Virgin Islands. Two original Tuskeegee Airmen—Lieutenant Herbert Thorpe and Lieutenant Colonel Enoch Woodhouse, both Medal of Honor recipients—attended the graduation ceremony.
Baldwin Safety & Compliance has been involved with the RedTail Flight Academy since its inception as an ambassador to the non-profit program by donating the Baldwin safety management program and mentoring the RedTail safety manager on a pro bono basis.
Donald Baldwin, president of Baldwin Safety & Compliance, said, "I have always believed that internships are an excellent opportunity to introduce students to our industry and provide a foundation for their upcoming career. Baldwin is proud to be a part of the RedTail Academy program, and when it came to getting involved with these aviation students as interns with our company, we were excited to participate.”
Gilbert said of his internship, “This experience with Baldwin has already given me a deeper understanding of [safety management systems] and has advanced my awareness of safety when flying and the risks associated with my actions. I see opportunities to implement safety into my everyday life as well as when I am flying, so it has already been an outstanding experience, and I look forward to learning more in the next few weeks.”
Gilbert completed his private pilot license through the RedTail Flight Academy and will be pursuing his commercial and instrument ratings at Luke Weathers, Jr. Flight Academy in Olive Branch, Mississippi. In August, he will be attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide as a result of the scholarship he was awarded. | aerospace | 1 |

I realized that this SOAR_ENABLE mode is implemented for AUTO, FBWB or CRUISE. How to build a flight plan AUTO there is also necessary for waypoints to specify the altitude, and for the SOAR mode, I previously had to install SOAR_ALT_MIN and SOAR_ALT_CUTOFF here is unclear what to put in the waypoints in height, because there is no clarity as he plans to the next point. However, there is a calculation of the error of hitting the height on the waypoint, but this is also uncertainty. The Pixhawk itself includes a "throttle " If the plane reaches the SOAR_ALT_MIN height, so it is necessary to set the parameters for the motor max and minimum? However I think that it is not enough, it is not clear how will gain height, with what angle (pitch) What parameter to set on lifting? As for the planning is clear in the description says: The TECS needs to be set up to fly the aircraft at a consistent airspeed when gliding To achieve this, set TECS_SPDWEIGHT to 2.0, set SOAR_ENABLE to 1 and set SOAR_VSPEED to a large number, say 50.0. This means that the aircraft will glide but will never begin thermalling. Set SOAR_ALT_CUTOFF to an altitude you feel comfortable with. It should be high enough to allow a good length of time to be spent gliding. Launch the aircraft and put it in AUTO mode. It should climb to SOAR_ALT_CUTOFF and then begin a gliding descent. Watch the telemetry graphs or look at the Dataflash logs. Is the aircraft maintaining the demanded airspeed? The demanded airspeed can be seen in the Dataflash log as TECS.spdem, and via telemetry you can use NAV_CONTROLLER_OUTPUT.aspd_error. You will probably need to increase PTCH2SRV_IMAX and TECS_INTEG_GAIN to achieve good airspeed tracking in gliding flight.How to use SOAR_ENABLE_CH A channel that includes the SOAR mode at what point should it be enabled? | aerospace | 1 |

Definitely advertising space. I'd make a quick buck, and when the FTC or various global equivalents demand I stop my business, I state that they are more than welcome to go up and stop it themselves, thus inciting a new space race to put men on the moon again.
Might be better achieved with Earth-based laser projectors.
Then the FAA gets involved. If I can't even use my iPad on a flight, imagine the approval necessary to shoot stupid-bright lasers through potential flight paths.

Why? Pence said China and Russia as potential threats to American satellites, which creates the need to build armed forces that can give the answer. “The creation of space forces is an idea whose time has come,” said Pence.
Along with the Pens in the Pentagon was made by the Minister of defence, James Mattis, in anticipation of the submission of the implementation plan of the space forces of the Ministry of defence. Recalling the words of Donald trump made two months ago, Penny said that the group will be “separate and equal to the other five branches” of the military forces.
Why should the United States space force? They will fight in space?
All was in motion, Pence proposes to expand the plan in four stages:
- To create a single Supervisory body, the Space command of the USA up to the end of the year, in whose interest is the protection of America’s interests in space.
- To form an elite group of soldiers and space forces. This will include people from other military units.
- To create space development Agency to create new technologies for space defense.
- To establish a clear chain of accountability when creating a new branch of the military until 2020. Will create a civilian position — assistant Secretary of defense for cases and space defense.
If you imagined people fighting in space, get rid of this show immediately — offers, only to create a ground force to protect American satellites. Ultimately, however, the decision on creation of space forces will fall on the shoulders of Congress, who will have to approve their creation and sign the financing. | aerospace | 1 |

NASA’s fourth operations crew flight, known as Crew-4, continues the regular rotation of astronauts to and from the space station.
Commander Kjell Lindgren and three colleagues took off from the Kennedy Space Center at 3:52 a.m. EDT (0752 GMT) on Wednesday atop a Falcon 9 rocket. SpaceX’s Dragon Freedom spacecraft transported the four-man crew to the station, using A series of orbit adjustments to match the height and speed of the science outpost.
The docking time culminated in an automated docking with the zenith, or space-facing port, on the station’s Harmony module at 7:37 p.m. EDT (2337 GMT). That ended with a 15-hour, 45-minute flight from the launch pad in Florida, the fastest transit time for an American mission from takeoff to docking at the space station.
The Russian cargo crew and expeditions arrived at the station within three hours after launch.
The space station’s convenient location in orbit at the time of Crew-4’s launch early Wednesday allowed SpaceX’s Dragon Freedom spacecraft to reach the complex several hours faster than previous Dragon missions.
The dragon breathes fire as it approaches the International Space Station.
Draco engines direct the crew capsule from a location below the station to the docking axis above the Harmony module.
Docking about an hour.
SpaceflightNow April 27 2022
Lindgren, a veteran of the station’s 141-day expedition in 2015, was joined by pilot Bob Hines, ESA astronauts Samantha Cristoforetti and NASA mission specialist Jesica Watkins.
“We did a very cool flight into low Earth orbit with the F9 booster and Freedom capsule,” said Lindgren. “It was a really smooth ride. And Gs was so amazing.”
“It was unbelievable,” Haynes said. “That trip, especially in Phase Two, it was really cool, it’s been amazing.”
Haynes and Watkins fly into space for the first time. Both joined NASA’s team of astronauts in 2017. Cristoforetti, a native of Milan, Italy, spent 199 days in orbit on a mission to the space station in 2014 and 2015.
Watkins, a planetary geologist, is the first black woman to live on the space station on a long-term mission.
“I think, to me, the most amazing part of the whole trip was definitely the view,” Watkins said. “When we were coming to dock, we started putting on our suits and started getting ready and only had time to take a last minute look out the window, and we could see the space station kind of far away.”
Watkins and her colleagues will have plenty of time to admire the view of Earth from the space station windows. The Crew-4 mission is scheduled to run until at least mid-September, shortly after the launch of Crew-5, NASA’s next astronauts’ mission with SpaceX.
Crew-4 is a SpaceX commercial flight sponsored by the company’s multi-billion dollar contract with NASA. The newly arrived astronauts will replace Crew-3 astronauts, who have lived and worked on the station since November.
The Crew-4 mission is SpaceX’s seventh human spaceflight mission overall, including four operational NASA flights, two fully commercial astronaut missions, and the first Dragon crew test flight in 2020.
The space agency announced in February that it had awarded three additional crew flights to SpaceX aboard the Dragon spacecraft, an estimated $900 million contract extension covering the Crew-7, Crew-8 and Crew-9 missions.
SpaceX’s Dragon Freedom spacecraft is now inside the approach corridor of the International Docking Adapter 3, the peak port of the space station’s Harmony module.
SpaceflightNow April 27 2022
NASA has a similar contract with Boeing to do six operational missions for the crew aboard the Starliner spacecraft, which is still in the testing phase and has not yet flown the astronauts. The next Starliner test flight, without crew, is scheduled to launch to the space station on May 19.
Before Boeing and NASA can proceed with the Starliner test flight, astronauts on the space station will complete a delivery about a week before the Crew-3 and Crew-4 missions.
Commander Raja Chari, pilot Tom Marshburne and mission specialists Matthias Maurer and Kayla Barron set out for the Crew-3 mission last November. They will ride SpaceX’s Dragon Endurance spacecraft back to Earth next week, leaving Crew-4 astronauts at the station with three Russian cosmonauts.
The Crew-3 mission is scheduled to depart on May 4, but the schedule may change as officials monitor weather conditions at SpaceX’s seven spray areas off the coast of Florida. Directors will monitor storms, winds, and the high seas before tasking the crew to return to Earth.
The arrival of the Crew-4 mission comes three days after another SpaceX crew capsule – Dragon Endeavor – ejected from the space station along with a retired NASA astronaut and three wealthy businessmen. That mission, operated by a Houston-based company called Axiom Space, was the first all-private crew to visit the station. Former space tourists or private astronauts have traveled to the station on government-led missions.
Crew-4 astronauts boarded the International Space Station after launch and docking earlier today.
SpaceflightNow April 28, 2022
The busy season for space station traffic began in March with the arrival of three Russian cosmonauts aboard a Soyuz spacecraft and the return of the former Soyuz crew to Earth.
Amid the comings and goings, the crew on the space station continued research and maintenance experiments. Russian cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Denis Matveev were asleep at the time of the Crew-4 passenger docking on Wednesday, and were resting ahead of Thursday’s planned spacewalk to continue activating and equipping the European robotic arm outside the Nauka module.
“As you can see from the smiles around, we’re very happy to have our new colleagues on board with us,” Marshbourne said at a welcome party early Thursday. “Congratulations, really all over the world, but to SpaceX and NASA for accomplishing what is still a very dangerous activity to launch humans into space, but it did so brilliantly.
“There are really dynamic weeks,” Marshbourne said. “We just said goodbye to our colleagues on the special cosmonauts mission. There is a Russian EVA that will start here in a few hours.”
Marshburn will hand over command of the space station crew to Artemyev next week before returning to Earth.
The Crew-4 mission flew on the fourth and final planned spacecraft in SpaceX’s fleet of Dragon capsules. The astronauts on the Crew-4 mission called the new spacecraft “Freedom.”
Dragon Freedom joins sister ships Endeavor, Resilience and Endurance in SpaceX’s inventory.
Aside from working with experiments and operating the space station, Crew-4 astronauts plan to conduct at least two spacewalks in the United States to prepare for the arrival of new solar arrays for power generation. Cristoforetti may also have a chance to head outside the station on a spacewalk in a Russian spacesuit to work on the European robotic arm.

Keywords: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV, Direct Georeferencing, GNSS, Inertial, Mapping, Photogrammetry, Integrated Sensor Orientation, POSPac UAV, APX-15, Single Strip Corridor
Abstract. Efficient mapping from unmanned aerial platforms cannot rely on aerial triangulation using known ground control points. The cost and time of setting ground control, added to the need for increased overlap between flight lines, severely limits the ability of small VTOL platforms, in particular, to handle mapping-grade missions of all but the very smallest survey areas. Applanix has brought its experience in manned photogrammetry applications to this challenge, setting out the requirements for increasing the efficiency of mapping operations from small UAVs, using survey-grade GNSS-Inertial technology to accomplish direct georeferencing of the platform and/or the imaging payload. The Direct Mapping Solution for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (DMS-UAV) is a complete and ready-to-integrate OEM solution for Direct Georeferencing (DG) on unmanned aerial platforms. Designed as a solution for systems integrators to create mapping payloads for UAVs of all types and sizes, the DMS produces directly georeferenced products for any imaging payload (visual, LiDAR, infrared, multispectral imaging, even video). Additionally, DMS addresses the airframe’s requirements for high-accuracy position and orientation for such tasks as precision RTK landing and Precision Orientation for Air Data Systems (ADS), Guidance and Control.
This paper presents results using a DMS comprised of an Applanix APX-15 UAV with a Sony a7R camera to produce highly accurate orthorectified imagery without Ground Control Points on a Microdrones md4-1000 platform conducted by Applanix and Avyon. APX-15 UAV is a single-board, small-form-factor GNSS-Inertial system designed for use on small, lightweight platforms. The Sony a7R is a prosumer digital RGB camera sensor, with a 36MP, 4.9-micron CCD producing images at 7360 columns by 4912 rows. It was configured with a 50mm AF-S Nikkor f/1.8 lens and subsequently with a 35mm Zeiss Sonnar T* FE F2.8 lens. Both the camera/lens combinations and the APX-15 were mounted to a Microdrones md4-1000 quad-rotor VTOL UAV. The Sony A7R and each lens combination were focused and calibrated terrestrially using the Applanix camera calibration facility, and then integrated with the APX-15 GNSS-Inertial system using a custom mount specifically designed for UAV applications. The mount is constructed in such a way as to maintain the stability of both the interior orientation and IMU boresight calibration over shock and vibration, thus turning the Sony A7R into a metric imaging solution.
In July and August 2015, Applanix and Avyon carried out a series of test flights of this system. The goal of these test flights was to assess the performance of DMS APX-15 direct georeferencing system under various scenarios. Furthermore, an examination of how DMS APX-15 can be used to produce accurate map products without the use of ground control points and with reduced sidelap was also carried out. Reducing the side lap for survey missions performed by small UAVs can significantly increase the mapping productivity of these platforms.
The area mapped during the first flight campaign was a 250m x 300m block and a 775m long railway corridor in a rural setting in Ontario, Canada. The second area mapped was a 450m long corridor over a dam known as Fryer Dam (over Richelieu River in Quebec, Canada). Several ground control points were distributed within both test areas.
The flight over the block area included 8 North-South lines and 1 cross strip flown at 80m AGL, resulting in a ~1cm GSD. The flight over the railway corridor included 2 North-South lines also flown at 80m AGL. Similarly, the flight over the dam corridor included 2 North-South lines flown at 50m AGL. The focus of this paper was to analyse the results obtained from the two corridors.
Test results from both areas were processed using Direct Georeferencing techniques, and then compared for accuracy against the known positions of ground control points in each test area. The GNSS-Inertial data collected by the APX-15 was post-processed in Single Base mode, using a base station located in the project area via POSPac UAV. For the block and railway corridor, the basestation’s position was precisely determined by processing a 12-hour session using the CSRS-PPP Post Processing service. Similarly, for the flight over Fryer Dam, the base-station’s position was also precisely determined by processing a 4-hour session using the CSRS-PPP Post Processing service. POSPac UAV’s camera calibration and quality control (CalQC) module was used to refine the camera interior orientation parameters using an Integrated Sensor Orientation (ISO) approach. POSPac UAV was also used to generate the Exterior Orientation parameters for images collected during the test flight.
The Inpho photogrammetric software package was used to develop the final map products for both corridors under various scenarios. The imagery was first imported into an Inpho project, with updated focal length, principal point offsets and Exterior Orientation parameters. First, a Digital Terrain/Surface Model (DTM/DSM) was extracted from the stereo imagery, following which the raw images were orthorectified to produce an orthomosaic product. | aerospace | 1 |

Valued at $98.1 million, this is a three-year contract that includes one two-year option ordering period which, if exercised, would raise the potential value of this contract to $165.9 million.
Majority of the work will be executed in San Diego and a very minimal percentage at other continental U.S. and outside continental U.S. locations. Work is expected to be over by Sep 14, 2019.
This contract was awarded by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific, San Diego, CA, and will utilize research, development test and evaluation, operations and maintenance as well as other procurement funds.
RAYTHEON CO Price
Under the terms of this contract, services to be rendered by Raytheon include technology assessment, development and transition; requirements analysis; systems engineering; operational and technical support; experimentation support; hardware and software development and prototyping; modeling and simulation; training; and security engineering/cybersecurity.
Meanwhile, this defense giant has also grabbed another contract for the manufacture and delivery of 18 AN/APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars for Navy F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft. Valued at $63 million, this contract was awarded by Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, MD.
Majority of the work will be performed in Forest, MS; Dallas, TX; while the rest in El Segundo, CA; and Andover, MA. Work is scheduled to be over in July 2018.
Under this contract, Raytheon will also offer procurement of two AN/APG-79 AESA radars in support of testing associated with the AESA configuration D upgrade, and one AN/APG-79 radar for the government of Australia. This particular contract will primarily utilize fiscal 2016 aircraft procurement and, to a lesser extent, foreign military sales (FMS) fund.
Notably, Raytheon's combat-proven AN/ APG-79 AESA radar system represents a significant advance in radar technology, which substantially increases the power of the U.S. Navy's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft in particular, making it less vulnerable than ever before. Currently this radar system also serves the Royal Australian Air Force.
With the U.S. fiscal 2016 bill emphasizing cyber programs, cyber-oriented work is expected to yield solid growth in the coming years. In recent years, Raytheon has invested more than $3.5 billion to expand its cybersecurity capabilities, as cybersecurity incidents have escalated an average 66% on a yearly basis between 2009 and 2014 globally.
Being one of the best-positioned large-cap defense players, Raytheon's next-generation radar systems also offer advance defense solutions that attract potential customers like the U.S. Navy and defense administrators of foreign countries, thereby enhancing demand for Raytheon's Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) products. Accordingly, we expect the aforementioned contracts to boost up the revenues that the company earns from its IDS business segment.

These industries demand extreme quality, and have put their trust in our ability to deliver products that exceed their expectations for quality and consistency.
In this project, we manufactured a critical component for a high profile military system, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. This aircraft is the pinnacle of aviation technology, and requires an elevated level of quality. We were tasked with manufacturing a heat exchanger that would be used in a camera assembly. Composed of 321 stainless steel; it consisted of four individually bent tubes, formed into a unique profile. Unfortunately, due to the dimensions and tolerances, there was no equipment on the market that could provide the capabilities that we needed.
The manufacturing process called for bending, flattening, and welding, all of which had to fit into a profile gauge that allowed for only ±.030″ of clearance. To meet all of these requirements we first had to design a tube bender and flattening fixture that could flatten on two individual planes. At the same time we developed a checking fixture so the customer could perform their final inspection.
Another challenge was orbital welding, since its use was a first for us, we had to become experts quickly, and then develop a system that would deliver the quality and consistency that the project required, as well as getting our welders certified in its use. Since this project required 100% inspection, we also had to build robust pressure test equipment to ensure the integrity of each assembly. In the end the project was and is a success, we currently manufacture 1500 units annually in batches that are turned over in just 4 weeks.

Unfortunately I didn't have a camera handy. Pretty cool. I work in New Jersey, right by the Hudson River a little north of Manhattan, and the plane flew up the Hudson, turned around, then flew back south towards JFK airport (I think it was that one). I missed the barge take it to the aircraft carrier, where it sits now. Damn work got in the way.
I was at the foot of the runway at LAX. We got treated to two fly-overs (one before it went to Orange County, one when it came back) before it came in for a landing. Having lived in SoCal for 11 years, I've always wanted to see a shuttle landing at Edwards AFB. Every time it happened, though, I was unable to get out there in time. Better late than never, I suppose.
A bitter sweet day for the space program.
The good thing is: in two weeks, we get to do this again and watch it be towed to the California Science Center!

One company, DroneShield, believes the answer lies in jamming an encroaching drone's control signals.
That strategy got some endorsement on the world stage during the recent ASEAN Summit in Sydney, where members of the Australian Defence Force deployed with the company's DroneGun.
"Monitoring of drone activity at high profile events has become an important component of event management, similar to perimeter access control or participant credentialing," DroneShield CEO Oleg Vornik told me via email. "DroneShield's product DroneGun was used by the Australian Defence Force at the event, on behalf of the New South Wales Police for the protection of the participants from potential drone threats."
The device, which comes in a few configurations, is a fully integrated rifle-style countermeasure that works against a wide range of drone models. Though it looks like the gnarliest gun you've ever seen, it's actually a high-powered jamming device capable of disrupting multiple frequency bands simultaneously.
By jamming radio frequencies and signals from positioning satellites, the device disrupts commercial drone control functions.
Though an out-of-control drone may sound like a bad thing, the countermeasure takes advantage of behaviors common to off-the-shelf and commercially available UAV. When a control signal is lost, drones will either immediately land, return to their launch location, or hover until batteries drain, at which point they enter a controlled landing mode.
If the jammed drones do return to their starting point, investigators have a chance of apprehending the pilot. If the drones are captured, they can be forensically examined.
The DroneGun isn't for sale in the US, except to government agencies. | aerospace | 1 |

- February 2, 1998
- University Of Colorado At Boulder
- A $5 million Earth-orbiting satellite designed and built by a team of University of Colorado at Boulder students, faculty and engineers is currently slated for launch from California's Vandenburg Air Force Base on Feb. 4.
A $5 million Earth-orbiting satellite designed and built by a team of University of Colorado at Boulder students, faculty and engineers is currently slated for launch from California's Vandenburg Air Force Base on Feb. 4.
Called the Student Nitric Oxide Explorer, or SNOE, the satellite will carry instruments to measure nitric oxide in the upper atmosphere that affects Earth's ozone layer, the intensity of x-rays from the sun and ultraviolet light from Earth's aurora. Developed at CU-Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, the mission will be controlled from LASP's CU Research Park facility 24 hours a day by students and faculty, said Stan Solomon, deputy co-investigator on the project.
"We're ready for launch," said Solomon. "I know that SNOE alumni throughout the country who contributed to the project are excited that we're finally going to orbit after more than three years."
The design and construction phase involved about 110 CU-Boulder students, primarily undergraduates, said Solomon, who is coordinating the SNOE effort with principal investigator and LASP Professor Charles Barth. The initial SNOE design work also involved students from a computer drafting class at Arapahoe High School in Littleton.
SNOE was one of three spacecraft selected for flight by the Universities Space Research Association in 1994 as part of NASA's Student Explorer Demonstration Initiative. The CU spacecraft will be the first to launch, followed by a Boston University satellite later this year.
"The original goals of the initiative were to demonstrate the feasibility of designing and building small, relatively low-cost spacecraft that could accomplish beneficial science and include significant student participation," said Solomon. "We happen to be very strong in all three areas."
From 1981 to 1989, CU students and faculty controlled the Solar Mesosphere Explorer satellite from campus, the first NASA satellite ever entirely operated and controlled by a university. SNOE will be the second.
Senior Erica Rodgers, a Pueblo native who began working on SNOE as a freshman, designed the mechanical and optical components of the solar x-ray photometer. "As the first freshman on the project, I really lucked out," she said. "It will be overwhelming knowing something I built is in orbit."
Graduate student Jason Westphal, who wrote SNOE flight software as a junior, said he would not have continued on to graduate school were it not for the project. "This was a rare opportunity," said Westphal, who is now the attitude determination and control engineer for SNOE. "I was in the right place at the right time, and I think the hands-on experience has positioned many SNOE students, including me, for good jobs in the aerospace industry."
The three-foot diameter, 220-pound spacecraft will be launched on a Pegasus expendable-launch vehicle built by Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va. The Pegasus will be carried to an altitude of 40,000 feet by a jet aircraft and dropped into a five-second free fall. It will then ignite horizontally and begin ascending, placing SNOE in a circular orbit about 340 miles above Earth within 10 minutes.
"One of our motivations when we started was to try to rekindle enthusiasm for space exploration," Solomon said. "What we found was that swarms of students wanted to be involved in this project because it provided hands-on experience in the design and fabrication of a real spacecraft."
The students tapped into the expertise of engineers from LASP, Ball Aerospace Corp. -- which built the Solar Mesosphere Explorer satellite -- and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, working side by side with them in all phases of the project.
The mission operations phase will begin with spacecraft contact from campus about an hour after the 11:59 p.m. MST launch on Feb. 4. The operations, expected to continue for at least one year, will be supported in part by a special excellence award from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.
"People viewing this as an educational project can see the value of the hands-on experience gained by our students," he said. "But significant funding has gone into SNOE, and we believe this mission also is an important part of NASA's overall science program."

The United States deployed four F-22 fighters to South Korea this past week, in what is being read as an indication of Washington's displeasure over North Korea's recent nuclear test, and ballistic missile test.
Although a solution has been identified, corrections to the F-35 ejection seat - which prevents pilots below 62 kg (136 lb) from flying the new airplane - are expected to take over a year to validate and implement throughout the fleet.
Israel Aerospace Industries has been directed to produce an additional 40 F-35 wing sets this next year. IAI's state-of-the-art wing manufacturing facility is expected to produce 800 wing sets over the next decade.
Kuwait is expected to finalize a deal for 28 Eurofighter Typhoon fighters next week, during a state visit to Italy.
The U.S. State Department has officially approved the sale of an additional eight F-16s to Pakistan. However, the deal must also pass Congressional review, with some members of Congress pledging to block the sale.
Iran has reportedly negotiated a large purchase of Su-30 fighters from Russia, in addition to the previously announced S-300 surface-to-air missile sale. As part of the arrangement Iran is expected to set up a local assembly line to build and maintain the aircraft. | aerospace | 1 |

CACI International has been awarded a $810 million contract to support the Air Force's mobile command and control systems.
This award is notable for a couple reasons besides its size.
One, it is a sole source contract, so CACI received the work without going through a competition.
Second, the work came to CACI through its 2016 acquisition of the L3 National Security Solutions business.
L3 NSS first won the work in 2011. The new contract runs through 2029 and was awarded by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center.
Known as "MC2S," the contract supports the Mobile Consolidated Command Center platform and the Space Missile Systems Center to support the mobile control station for the Advanced Extremely High Frequency Mobile Constellation.
The new contract expands on the work supporting the MCCC to include work on other hardened command and control platforms. CACI also will run a logistics support facility.
The MCCC includes semi-trailers that contain command and control network operations and communications centers that are protected from electromagnetic pulses, according to solicitation documents.
One goal of the contract is to continue the integration and coordination among various command and control centers as well as to upgrade technology.
Work will take place primarily at Albuquerque, New Mexico but work also may be needed at other Air Force and military facilities.
It is unclear why the contract was awarded as a sole-source vehicle. The Air Force released a request for information in late 2016 to gather information on potential bidders.
CACI referred requests for comment to the Air Force, which didn't respond to a request for comment.

EAA Petitions Federal Court on FAA ATC Charges
The other shoe has dropped... long rumored, but only vaguely acknowledged by EAA, the Oshkosh-based organization has decided to fight back less than a month before the advent of the largest aviation gathering in the world.
EAA has confirmed to ANN that they have filed a petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, asking the court to review and provide relief from payments demanded by the Federal Aviation Administration in relation to air traffic control services at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
In its petition, EAA asks the court to stop the FAA from augmenting its congressionally approved appropriation through unilaterally imposed fees on aviation events such as AirVenture. EAA maintains the fees were imposed without standard notice and comment procedure from the FAA, making it procedurally improper and unlawful.
"While we understand the FAA's position and the temptation to augment its congressional appropriation, we naturally don't agree since we believe this approach unlawfully circumvents congressional approval and standard due process," said EAA Chairman Jack J. Pelton. "This affects AirVenture and numerous other aviation events throughout the nation in an unauthorized and unjustified manner. That is why we are seeking review, relief, and clarification from the court."
Despite the FAA receiving exclusive authority from Congress in April to internally move funds within the agency's budget specifically for air traffic control services, the FAA told EAA in early May that it would demand a signed contract and payments for air traffic and safety services that had been annually budgeted in the past. Those fees eventually totaled $447,000. Other aviation events throughout the nation were also assessed fees without warning or the standard notice and comment procedure.
As part of the petition, EAA is asking the court to reverse the FAA's decision to seek these payments, as well as the return of fees already paid and other costs incurred.

The partnership will facilitate Beacon’s late-summer launch and rapid expansion throughout the Northeast. Dynamic Aviation is a leading provider of innovative aviation solutions for government and commercial organizations worldwide.
As part of the $400 million agreement, Dynamic Aviation will be delivering 27 mid-sized executive aircraft over the next three years, and is contracted to maintain and operate the aircraft for Beacon over the next ten years. Dynamic Aviation will be providing commuter passenger services on an exclusive basis to Beacon. In addition, Beacon estimates the agreement will result in the creation of between 300 and 400 jobs.
“We are excited to announce this partnership between Dynamic Aviation and Beacon. While they stood out from the ranks of potential operating partners for many reasons, we ultimately selected Dynamic Aviation based on their award-winning safety culture and reliability record,” said Wade Eyerly, CEO and Co-Founder of Beacon.

Combining Dynamic Aviation’s operating experience with the unique service experience of the Beacon team, this partnership will truly allow Beacon members to enjoy a one-of-a-kind premium travel experience,” said Cory Cozzens, COO and Co-Founder of Beacon.

Together, we look forward to providing Beacon’s members with unparalleled customer service.”

The launch of planned operations is subject to receipt by Dynamic Aviation of appropriate authority to operate scheduled interstate commuter service from the DOT and FAA.
Coming in the summer of 2015, Beacon is an unlimited flight solution for the Northeast corridor. Started by the team behind Surf Air, Beacon is the new travel solution for the Northeast. For as low as $2,000 a month, Beacon members will get access to regularly scheduled flights, operated by one of Beacon’s licensed operating partners, on mid-sized executive aircraft. With concierges on location at the private air terminals used by Beacon, standing ready to help with everything from car rentals, to drinks or flowers, the Beacon team is marrying high-touch service with air travel to create a one-of-a-kind experience.

Based at Wichita Eisenhower National Airport, Yingling is reconfiguring the twin-turboprop in its 10,000-sq-ft hangar—one of three hangars it acquired from the former LeaseCorp earlier this year.
In all, Alpine Air has 32 Beech 1900Ds and a total of 72 aircraft in its fleet. Yingling officials said it’s not clear how many of those 32 1900Ds the FBO and MRO operator will convert with an STC acquired by Alpine Air. However, the expectation is it will be more than the two airplanes currently in its modification hangar.
“We are able to accommodate this exceptional opportunity because we have spent the past 18 months expanding facilities and upgrading our capabilities to handle this type of comprehensive program,” said Yingling president Andrew Nichols. “We will start by working on two aircraft at a time and have the capacity to add more as we gain expertise.”
Alpine Air president and CEO Michael Dancy said the 1900D passenger-to-cargo conversion will allow his company to “ship more with less. With our strategic new fleet that incorporates these re-configured Beech 1900Ds, we can now provide more efficiency for individual shipments and at more affordable costs for us and our clients.” | aerospace | 1 |
