St. Augustine RC FLYERS,
Welcome Florida Soaring Society (FSS #5) Sailplane Contest - November 5-6, 2016
Our club hosted an Aero Tow glider event that was thrilling to watch. It involved large gasoline powered models towing up even larger gliders. After the gliders disconnected from the tow plane they were then able to seek out thermals and soar like eagles. One of the gliders had over a 26 foot wingspan. Check out the photos and video in subsequent pages on this website.

Come on out and share in the fun flying with us!
Established on July 4th, 2015, St. Augustine RC Flyers, LLC (non-profit corporation) is a fairly new RC Club.
We consist of a great bunch of fun loving guys, about 30 strong and growing rapidly.
Our members enjoy building, flying, and sharing good times flying all types of RC aircraft.
We have guys that fly everything as well as members that enjoy specialty RC models, such as Micros, Foamies, Sport 60 Sized Airplanes, Gliders, Large Scale Gassers, Ducted Fan Jets, Helicopters, and Racing Drones.
Our models are powered with glow fuel, gas engines, or electric motors. Several of our soaring enthusiasts have electric winches for glider launching.
Our AMA approved flying site is located at the Tillman Ridge Landfill; (map on SIGN UP page), featuring 2 Grass Runways, Glider Winch Launching Area, Mower Shed, Restroom, and Protected Pilot Safety Area.
Visitors please call our President or Secretary to arrange a time that we can meet you at our private entrance. Our facility is controlled and not usually open to the public.
Semi retired small business owner
IRKS (Titusville RC Club) had scheduled this AMA sanctioned event but Hurricane Matthew had other plans and made their flying site unusable. Therefore, our club has stepped up to help carry out this event on Saturday and Sunday, November 5th and 6th. This was a mixed launch event which means there will be ALES (altitude limited electric sailplanes) and winch launch sailplanes and efforts are underway to make this an AMA sanctioned event.
Our flying field was dedicated to this sailplane contest on these two days, which was fun and educational while helping out another RC club. John Kennedy had volunteered to be Safety Officer and handle all technical details while Carl Schneider was the CD (Contest Director).

The former military pilot, who shouldn’t have been certified for this Cessna, allowed the plane to be overloaded by 445 pounds, and the center of gravity was 4 inches beyond maximum aft limit.
Death in plane crash
Along with eleven others, Green died on July 28, 1982, when the Robertson STOL-modified Cessna 414 leased by Last Days Ministries crashed after takeoff from the private airstrip located on the LDM property. The small two-engine plane was carrying eleven passengers and the pilot [in 8 seats – ed.], Don Burmeister, for an aerial tour of the LDM property and the surrounding area. Green and two of his children, three-year-old Josiah and two-year-old Bethany, were on board the plane, along with visiting church planters, John and Dede Smalley and their six children. Green’s wife Melody was at home with one-year-old Rebekah and six weeks pregnant with their fourth child, Rachel, born in March 1983.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the crash was caused by the pilot in command (PIC) allowing the aircraft to be loaded beyond its operating limitations. The required pre-flight weight and balance computations responsibility of civilian pilots would have shown it was dangerously overloaded and also outside its weight and balance operating envelope. This responsibility with military pilots is the responsibility of the military loadmaster, and thus he may have, by force of habit, overlooked this responsibility. Don Alan Burmeister was a former United States Marine Corps aviator, but FAA records show he had very limited experience / training in flying conventional (vs. centerline thrust) twin engine aircraft. Records show it was only a short time prior to the accident (6/9/82) that he completed a check-ride to remove the “centerline thrust” restriction from his pilot’s certificate. This check-ride should have fully evaluated his ability to fly a conventional multi-engine aircraft throughout its designed range of operations, but the flight examiner was decertified the next month (7/10/82) by the FAA due to a “history of incomplete or substandard check-rides”. Additionally, the insurance carrier (Ideal Mutual Insurance Co.) required Burmeister to log 1,045 hrs of flying time, attend a Cessna ground and flight training course, as well as log 15 hours in a Cessna 414 (C-414) prior to acting as the PIC of the leased aircraft. The NTSB record shows he failed to accomplish all of these requirements. With pilot and eleven passengers, the aircraft was overloaded by an estimated 445 pounds (202 kg), and the location of the center of gravity was found to be 4.26 inches (108 mm) beyond the maximum aft limit. Combined with an air temperature of 90 °F (32 °C), creating a condition known as “hot and high” (high density altitude, producing a lower climb rate on takeoff and greater danger of stalling), the C-414 could do little but struggle into the air within ground effect, and once airborne was left virtually uncontrollable. These factors prevented the aircraft from ever attaining sufficient altitude, and it crashed into trees less than a mile from the airport.
Keith Gordon Green, Josiah David Green (September 18, 1978 – July 28, 1982), and Bethany Grace Green (February 5, 1980 – July 28, 1982) are interred in the same coffin at Garden Valley Cemetery behind the Garden Valley Baptist Church, less than a half-mile from the LDM property. He was survived by his wife and two daughters, Rebekah Joy Green (b. 1981) and Rachel Hope Green (b. March 1983, eight months after Green’s death).


This is what scientists imagine a moon village would look like. It would be built from the moon’s own resources: its metals, minerals and water ice. Access to water would be essential for those living on the moon. Scientists think there is frozen water trapped in craters at the moon’s south-pole but there are many unanswered questions about it. Recently, clues to the moon’s watery poles have been found far away, beyond Mars, in the asteroid belt. NASA’s Dawn spacecraft has spent several years flying through this crowded region of space. Since March 2015 it’s been orbiting the largest asteroid there, Ceres, and sending back images. This is Ceres’ northern polar region. Like the moon, its surface is pockmarked with craters. And like the moon, some areas are permanently in the shadows. Without sunlight, these dark corners are very cold, below 60 degrees Kelvin, or -200 degrees Celsius. They are some of the coldest, darkest places in the Solar System. Intriguingly, scientists have detected water ice in a few of these cold areas. You can see it here: the white spot. It took some clever image processing by the research team to pick out the ice from the surrounding dusty surface; although it’s dark, the ice reflects a tiny amount of indirect sunlight. This is not the first time that signs of water have been seen on Ceres. In March 2015, the Dawn spacecraft spotted two bright spots near the equator. They’re thought to be salt, left behind when ice turned to water vapour. At this latitude, ice doesn’t stick around for long. But in the northern craters the ice gets trapped, and that’s what makes this finding significant. Now, scientists want to understand how the ice gets to the northern craters in the first place. Ceres is thought to be one quarter frozen water, most of it just below the surface. One possibility is that this ice below the surface is ejected by huge cryovolcanos and then lands in the polar craters. This pyramid-shaped mountain was spotted earlier this year and rises 4 kilometres above the surface of Ceres, roughly half the height of Mount Everest. The ice could also come from asteroids that smash into Ceres, throwing up icy debris from the asteroids themselves or from the icy layer below the surface of Ceres. Cold, dark traps for water have now been seen on three planetary bodies: on Ceres, on the moon, and a few years ago on Mercury. This suggests that they are not one-off phenomena but general processes that can happen on any object without an atmosphere, telling scientists where to look if they want to find water on other airless bodies in our Solar System. Puzzlingly, the bright spots that tell us there’s water on Ceres have not been seen on the moon. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has detected hydrogen, a key ingredient of water, but we haven’t yet actually seen the water. Maybe it’s is mixed with frozen soil so it doesn’t reflect light in the same way as the ice on Ceres. That’s one possibility. The hope is that by understanding water ice on Ceres we could learn more about ice much closer to home, on the moon, enabling us, one day, to live there!


It was September 12, 1962, when Pres. John F. Kennedy delivered a speech at Rice University before nearly 50,000 people. By that time, America had launched but four men into space--the suborbital flights of Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom and the nearly identical three-orbit journeys of John Glenn and Scott Carpenter. Buoyed by the success of those missions and cognizant of the danger that lay ahead, the president rearticulated his vision and reissued his challenge to reach the moon before 1970. "We choose to go to the moon, in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills." The assassination of President Kennedy, in the words of flight director Gene Kranz, turned his vision into a "quest to do it and do it in the time frame he allotted." On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped off the ladder of the lunar module known as Eagle, taking "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Featuring images from the Kennedy Library and NASA, this title details President Kennedy's quest to land a man on the moon before the end of the 1960 decade,
delivering the challenge in his now-iconic speech at Rice University on September 12, 1962.

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based tracking technology that is used for navigation by road, sea and air. The history of GPS has its roots in the very first satellite placed in space by the former Soviet Union in 1957.
Although its applications range include aviation and crime prevention, the technology is most readily associated with road navigation. GPS satellites feature atomic clocks which constantly transmit live time and positional data to GPS receivers on the ground. Of the 24 GPS satellites in orbit, a device such as a satnav must have at least four in unobstructed sight in order to receive accurate signals.
The history of satellite technology is very much linked to the military relationship between Russia and the USA. Whilst American engineers were still working on their Vanguard project in the mid-1950s, they were dramatically overtaken by the Soviets. Sputnik 1 successfully launched in October 1957, followed by Sputnik 2. Both were more advanced and capable than the unfinished American project.
This led to fears of new Soviet nuclear warfare against the USA facilitated by this technological breakthrough, but the only battle was of an aeronautical nature. After Vanguard’s failed launch at the end of 1957, Explorer 1 was USA’s belated but successful satellite launch, followed by the creation of NASA was in October 1958.
History of GPS Portable Navigational Devices
Over the next four decades, the progress of satellite technology led to GPS’ availability for non-military purposes, and selective availability was ended; paving the way for the proliferation of satellite navigation.
The first portable navigational device was launched in 2004. Netherlands-based TomTom had been developing mapping software for a few years before their TomTom Go product basically created a new product category. The first ever portable sat nav sold phenomenally well, selling a million units faster even than the smartphone.
Today’s smartphones have GPS capability built-in, and this technology is now supplemented by GLONASS. Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sputnikovaya, or Global Navigational Satellite System, is the latest contribution by those innovative Russians. It effectively increases the number of satellites that a navigational device can connect to, thus improving the positional accuracy.
The net result of 60 years of satellite technology is that most of us have an incredibly sophisticated, interactive map in our pockets. GPS helps us with so many applications, the latest of which appears to be the remote tracking and controlling of unmanned aerial vehicles. GPS makes the traditional ‘you are here’ label on city maps look rather understated.

CHINA'S EVOLVING SPACE CAPABILITIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. INTERESTS [27 April 2012]
[full-text, 85 pages]
Press Release 27 April 2012
REPORT: CHINA'S EVOLVING SPACE CAPABILITIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. INTERESTS
Today the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission released a report entitled CHINA'S EVOLVING SPACE CAPABILITIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. INTERESTS. The report details significant advances in China's space program. This report was prepared for the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission by the Project 2049 Institute.
The report is available online at www.uscc.gov.
Among other things, the report concludes that:
· Given asymmetries in reliance on space systems, even relative increases in Chinese space capabilities could present challenges for the United States.
· The Chinese military manages China's space program and there is significant overlap between civilian and military space operations, which mutually reinforce one another.
· Over the next 10-15 years, China is likely to develop more advanced precision strike assets, integrated with persistent space-based surveillance, a single integrated air and space picture, and a more survivable communications architecture, which could enhance China's confidence in enforcing a broader range of territorial claims around China's periphery.
· China is pressing forward with an ambitious counterspace program, including ground- and space-based surveillance systems, electronic warfare capabilities, and kinetic kill vehicles.
· The possibility of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait remains the principal strategic concern of Chinese national security policy makers, defense planners, and acquisition authorities.
The following is the Commission's summary of the report:
The People's Republic of China (PRC) has made significant advances in its space program and is emerging as a space power. With preservation of its monopoly on power as an overriding goal, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) bolsters its legitimacy through achievements in space.
The Chinese military manages China's space program and there is significant overlap between civilian and military space operations, which mutually reinforce one another. An increasingly sophisticated R&D and industrial establishment supplies the People's Liberation Army (PLA) with military space systems. The PLA General Armaments Department (GAD) appears to oversee space systems acquisitions and operations. Other important organizations in the space program include the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC). As a rough NASA counterpart, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) facilitates international exchanges and cooperative programs with other space-faring nations.
The PLA is rapidly improving its space and counterspace capabilities in order to advance CCP interests and defend against perceived challenges to sovereignty and territorial integrity. Because Taiwan's democratic system of government – an alternative to mainland China's authoritarian model -- presents an existential challenge to the CCP, the PLA relies on military coercion to compel concessions on sovereignty. The possibility of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait remains the principal strategic concern of Chinese national security policy makers, defense planners, and acquisition authorities.
China has made considerable progress in advancing its space capabilities. A survivable, growing space-based sensor architecture, able to transmit reconnaissance data to ground sites in China in near real time, could be used to facilitate the PLA's ability to carry out long-range precision strikes with growing lethality and speed. Its space-based sensor development is focused on surveillance and targeting. The PLA may augment existing space-based assets with microsatellites launched on solid-fueled launch vehicles. Chinese R&D investments include dedicated military communications satellites able to transmit high volumes of data to a wide variety of users and to support operations at increasingly extended ranges from China's coast, a constellation of navigation satellites that further enhances China's operational scope, foreign satellite communications monitoring systems, electronic countermeasure systems to disrupt an opponent's use of space-based systems, and the capability for physical destruction of satellites in orbit. Chinese space system development is intimately connected with R&D investment into next generation extended range precision strike systems.
Over the next 10-15 years, China is likely to develop more advanced precision strike assets, integrated with persistent space-based surveillance, a single integrated air and space picture, and survivable communications architecture, which could enable greater confidence in contesting a broader range of sovereignty and territorial claims around China's periphery. China's interest in space also is driven by a requirement to field countermeasures against advanced U.S. long-range precision strike capabilities, which are expected to come more fully online over the next 10-15 years. Such capabilities enable the PLA to conduct military operations at increasingly greater distances from Chinese shores, which may complicate U.S. freedom of action in the Asia-Pacific region.

RAM AIRCRAFT MODIFICATION Waco - Madison Cooper Airport
150 HOUR ENDURANCE TEST A.C. 20 - 24 A
All requirements to comply with FAR 33.49 with specific variables for TS 10 - 520B engine.
Bishop´s Original Formula 102 Aircraft Engine Treatment For Piston Engines up to 1000 HP
A. Bishop´s Original Aircraft Piston Engine Treatment Formula 102 was accepted for use in piston engines aircraft in the fall of 1981. B. To be accepted, Bishop´s Original Aircraft formula had to pass the 150 hour endurance test A.C. 20 - 24A.
II. THE TEST
A. Bishop´s Original Aircraft Piston Engine Treatment Formula 102 was tested in an overhauled Teledyne Continental TS10 - 520 - KCB 285 H.P. turbo supercharged reciprocating engine prepared to simulate an engine with 700 hours flying time.
B. Test was designed to put maximum load and wear on the engine in a relatively short time. To accomplish this: a. Cylinder head temperatures ranged from 410 to 460 degrees F. b. Normal cylinder head temperatures range from 320 degrees to 380 degrees F. c. During test, oil temperatures ranged from 230 degrees to 250 degrees F. d. Normally, oil temperatures range from 145 degrees to 195 degrees F.
C. Simulated critical altitude was 16,000 feet - was done by restricting the air intake.
D. Completed test produced conditions which were equal to 1400 hours of normal wear on a mid-time engine. Normal TBO on this engine is 1400 hours. E. All parts of the engine were spectrolite air-gauge micrometer measured before the test.
III. THE RESULTS
A. After the test, the engine was disassembled and all parts were spectrolite air-gauge micrometer measured.
B. Some of the findings: 1. Crankshaft maximum net wear at any measurable point was 4 ten thousands of an inch (0.0004"). 2. Turbochargers - 1 ten thousands ( 0.0001") wear maximum at any measurable point. 3. Camschaft - 0.0000" journal wear. 4. Valve stems - 0.0000" wear. 5. Complete compatibility with oil, gaskets, miscellaneous greases and salant used in engine construction. 6. Oil analysis showed 1 to 2 parts per million solids with Bishop´s Original; normally up to 10 to 11 parts per million.
C. Friction test results - "From this data it is assumed that engine friction at takes off and cruise RPM´s is lowered 25 to 30 percent. Engine friction in this engine is approximately 15 percent of net horsepower. A reduction in friction of 30 percent would mean a reduction in total friction from 15 percent of net horsepower."
D. Oil consumption - "Normally acceptable oil consumption under full power averages one quart per two hours. Oil consumption after ten hours of testing was only one pint."
E. Independent inspection report - "This type engine test - 150 hours at elevated power out put at maximum oil temperature as specified by the FAA TIA - is equal to a full T.B.O."
" I would consider all findings to be better then acceptable standards."

Captain Rick doing some [un] common sense thinking … It is possible that Mars was once a thriving planet that grew too cold to sustain life. This excellent post by a fellow WordPresser presents interesting thinking concerning possible past life on Mars based on photos captured by the Martian rover.
I have long thought that as our sun cools, its outer planets grow cold and loose ability to support life. It is possible that before life on an outer planet becomes extinct, its inhabitants become capable of exploring a warmer planet closer to the sun and begin a migration process.
Perhaps past inhabitants of Mars became space pioneers and ventured to earth to begin new live. Perhaps one day soon earthlings will be able to travel to Mars and take a closer look at where their distant ancestors lived. Perhaps a long time from now earthlings will venture to Venus as it cools and earth grows too cold to support life.
Thinking is a wonderful gift we should all exercise more often.
January 24, 2017
We can all probably agree that Mars is one of the most fascinating planets –besides Earth– in our solar system. We have learned so much about the red planet that we changed our opinion about everything we previously thought about Mars. Researchers finally know that Mars wasn’t always a desolate and inhospitable place. In fact, millions of years ago, the red planet may have been eerily similar to Earth.
In recent years, scientists have found out that Mars has liquid water flowing on its surface, a discovery that drastically changed everything we ever knew about Mars. The fact that NASA knows there is water on Mars means that they can pick out the best places to search for primitive life. If there is water, then perhaps there might be life on Mars.
But not only did we find out that Mars has liquid water, NASA…

Direct Metal Printing (DMP) uses additive manufacturing to produce metal parts with challenging sizes and geometries which are impossible through traditional subtractive or casting technologies. The technology possesses such parts that can be created in a variety of metals that are totally dense and usable. DMP is heavily used in aerospace and defense applications as it let the production of extremely complex and small shapes without the need for tooling.
The Infographic shows why direct metal printing (DMP) technology has become the ideal choice for various verticals. Unlike, many traditional manufacturing techniques, DMP overcome the limitations vis-à-vis. geometry and surface retention. It has helped manufacturers to increase the scope of developing parts that have highly complex anatomical shapes, surface textures, internal channels, and high levels of detail as well as such parts that are 400 millimeter high. It eliminates the demand for costly and time-consuming tooling and is suitable for a wide range of metals and alloys. Manufacturers are able to present parts that are of higher accuracy and improved part functionality with clean surface finish and feature detail resolution.

The Gloucester City Library is excited to announce a new museum has been added to our Museum Pass Program! The Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum, located in Cape May, NJ, is housed in a historic World War II-era all-wood hangar which was assembled by the U.S. Navy in 1942 from a kit delivered via railroad!
From 1943 to 1945, the hangar was part of the Naval Air Station Wildwood where bomber squadrons were trained before serving in the Pacific theater.
After World War II, the hangar was owned by multiple companies until it was abandoned several decades later..
In 1997, the nonprofit NASW Foundation restored the building and eventually opened the aviation museum to the public.
The museum’s collection includes over 25 historic airplanes, jets, and helicopters dating back to World War II.
During your visit, sit in the cockpit of a historic plane or enter an authentic air traffic control tower. Visit the 1940s room to view memorabilia and artifacts from life during World War II.
The Museum Pass can be borrowed for up to 3 days by an adult cardholder in good standing. The pass allows free admission for 2 adults and 4 children.


A stop-motion documentary.
The NASA moon landing of 1969 was one of the most watched events in the history of television, with hundreds of millions of eyes glued to the boob tube as Neil Armstrong and crew made that historic “giant leap.” Even if you weren’t alive in 1969 – which I’m guessing most folks reading this weren’t – you’ve still seen the footage time and again, we all have, it’s called 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I’m just kidding, that’s crazy talk.
Anyway, point is, the moon landing is one of those cultural moments everyone can recall, either from actual memory or memory of the footage, but in the new short film Lunar, both types of folks, a.k.a. everyone, gets a brand-new look at this monumental achievement.
The film comes from Motion Designer Christian Stangl and his brother, composer Wolfgang Stangl, and what they did was to take thousands of photographs of the landing from NASA’s Project Apollo Archive, a free database, and then order them into a stop-motion short film that is as beautiful as it is fascinating, both familiar and foreign, and guaranteed to spark a reinvigorated interest in our navigation of the heavens.

USA and UK-based ZeroAvia has won a World Future Awards title in the category of Sustainable Aviation Solutions for 2023. The company’s inventive zero-emission aircraft engines use hydrogen in fuel cells to generate electricity, which is then used to power electric motors to turn the aircraft’s propellers, with the only byproduct being water.
As one of the hardest to abate sectors, aviation is predicted to account for up to 50% of GHG emissions by 2050. Given we are already behind on overall targets to tackle global warming, the solution for aviation needs to be far-reaching and holistic. ZeroAvia‘s hydrogen-electric engines offer a way to address aviation’s climate impact, as well as making the most business and technological sense of all sustainable aviation solutions.
Hydrogen has 100 times more energy density than the best electric batteries today, and it is the most abundant substance in the universe, as opposed to fossil fuels which are increasingly scarce.
The company has already used a prototype of their engine to conduct a world-first flight of a 19-seat aircraft, with a clear path to scaling the technology right up to single-aisle, narrowbody aircraft. This innovation will deliver a new golden future of aviation with truly clean, guilt-free flights for passengers.
ZeroAvia are leaders in their industry because their hydrogen-electric engines offer a solution that can fully remove carbon emissions while also tackling non-CO2 emissions like NOx, SOx, particulates, and soot. Bridge solutions like SAF can be helpful in tackling some carbon emissions, but they cannot remove carbon emissions fully.
This innovative product has never been utilized before and will tackle one of the biggest challenges in reaching net zero. Learn more about this award-winning company at https://www.zeroavia.com/

Recently, Magnix hosted a test flight on the largest electric plane. Although, it was indeed a very short flight which only consisted of about 30 minutes (160 kilometers), if we keep improving electric planes, I think it could lead to a more environmentally-friendly air journey.
One of the benefits of electric planes is that they could lower the price of tickets dramatically because fuel and labour costs are the largest expenses that affect the airline industry. According to BBC news at the Paris Air Show, a small aircraft like the Cessna Caravan would typically spend about 400 dollars on fuel. However, with electric planes, they would only spend about 8-12 dollars, which is 40 times cheaper.
In addition, petrol is not an infinite resource which means it will run out. Experts say that at the current rate of production, oil will run out in 53 years. Thus, we should be preparing a more environmentally friendly approach to transport. Speaking of a greener means of transport, electric planes could also help the advancement of other electric transportation such as electric trains, boats, and cars.
Despite the advantages of electric planes, I think it will take a while in order to convince other airlines to buy electric planes because most airlines are in debt from buying aircraft. Thus, they would not want to take out a loan and buy a whole new fleet of electric aircraft. In addition, we will have to convince other countries and companies that mostly earn money from oil.
After all, I think the efforts to develop electric planes will shape another technological advancement in providing a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. Furthermore, electric planes will create new kinds of business and jobs for other people while making greener means of transport.

Over the past few months, the media has given considerable attention to mankind’s first detection of gravitational waves in space using Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors. This phenomenon, resulting from the merger of two black holes, was predicted in 1915 by Albert Einstein. For the past four decades, thousands of engineers and scientists have worked to solve the complex technical challenges required to build the precise scientific instruments that could detect mere ripples a billion light-years from Earth. Since its founding in 2005, Stone Grzegorek & Gonzalez LLP has acted as immigration counsel for seven researchers representing nearly all of the specialized fields involved in the LIGO project. With this significant advancement in science, we are reminded of the extraordinary contributions our immigrant clients make in the efforts to expand human knowledge of space and beyond.

ALPA pilots picket to support striking Comair pilots, protest airlines' "second-tier" pilot compensation
Dallas/Fort Worth, TX -- Pilots of Atlantic Southeast Airlines organized an informational-picketing demonstration to take place 11 a.m. 1 p.m. today in front of the airport's Terminal E. The demonstration will show support for the pilots of Comair, now in the 77th day of their labor strike.
The pilots of ASA -- which, like Comair, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, Inc. -- anticipate that pilots from outside the Delta family will also join in the demonstration. Specifically, pilots of American Eagle and Continental Express have indicated an interest in participating.
With the exception of Comair pilots, none of the other pilot groups demonstrating today is on strike. However, the pilots participating equally assert the Comair pilots' point that the "regional airline" label is obsolete. Yet management teams across the industry cling to the label in an attempt to subordinate their pilots' compensation and maintain artificially low cost structures.
Since 1998, the Comair pilots have been trying, unsuccessfully, to negotiate a labor contract with management. Comair is one of the worlds most profitable airlines, and can continue to generate enviable profits after satisfying its pilots needs. However, company management is refusing to provide its pilots with pay and benefits on scale with those of other airline pilots: based on the size and productivity of the aircraft they fly.
EVENT: Pilots of Atlantic Southeast, American Eagle, and Continental Express informational picketing in support of the Comair pilots' strike.
TIME: 11 a.m. 1 p.m.
DATE: Monday, June 11, 2001.
LOCATION: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Terminal E (in front of Delta Air Lines departure area).

On the morning of May 13, sleepy passengers boarding Alaska Airline Flight #361 from San Franciso to Portland, Oregon strapped themselves into their seats, oblivious to the fact that they were about to experience a small piece of aviation history.
Instead of a flight attendant, two excited pilots smartly dressed in their crisp white uniforms stepped out of the cockpit and spoke to the passengers via the intercom.
Captain Tara Wright and her first officer Mallory Cave started by wishing them a Happy Mother’s Day. Then, they informed the passengers that they are “sharing a pretty interesting piece of Alaska Airline history” on this flight.
“You will be piloted by two African-American female pilots, for the first time in Alaska Airline history,” she announced proudly to a round of applause. “You’re making [history] this morning, whether you’re awake or not,” Wright joked, before continuing with ‘business talk’ about the flight course, duration and safety.
The video of Wright’s flight announcement, first posted on her Facebook page, has gone viral with netizens congratulating them for making a mark for African-American women in an industry that is dominated by Caucasian men.
Quartz reported that this is not the first US commercial flight to be commanded by a team of all African-American pilots. Delta Air Lines saw its first flight piloted by female African-American pilots in February 2017 with Captain Stephanie Johnson and first officer Dawn Cool. Earlier on in February 2009, captain Rachelle Jones Kerr, co-pilot Stephanie Grant and flight attendants Diana Galloway and Robin Rogers became the first all-female, all-African-American crew on a commercial flight in an Atlantic Southeast Airlines flight.
The fact that these women made headlines shows that both diversity and gender inclusion are still lacking in the aviation industry.
According to Quartz, the US Federal Aviation Administration found that just 4.4 per cent of airline transport pilots — those licensed to carry commercial passengers — are women. It added that statistics on pilots of colour are scarce, but a 2014 study of US pilots found the corps was 2.7 per cent of African descent, 2.5 per cent Asian and 5 per cent Hispanic or Latino.
According to Wright, there are less than 150 African-American female pilots in the US.
To promote and support minority women in their pursuit of aviation as a career, she has set up a non-profit organisation called Sisters of the Skies. The organisation aims to provide mentorship and scholarship to help minority women take to the skies.
The small representation of women in the aviation industry is a global issue, but female pilots across the seven seas have been making their mark in the skies.
In March 2016, three female Royal Brunei Airlines pilots made headlines as the first ever all-female crew for the airline after flying from Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
A year later, in March 2017, Air India marked International Women’s Day by becoming the first airline to fly around the world with an all-female crew. One of its Boeing 777’s flew from New Delhi to San Francisco. CNN reported that every member of staff – from the flight’s captains to the cabin crew, check-in and ground handling staff and even the engineers – were women.
In Africa, Ethiopian Airlines has also made history by dispatching several flights with an all-female crew, from pilots to cabin crew to check-in staff and flight dispatchers. Its first landmark flight was in December 2017, when it flew its first ever inter-Africa flight from Ethiopia’s capital city Addis Ababa to Lagos, Nigeria, staffed by an all-female crew. In March 2018, it upped the ante by dispatching an all-female flight crew on an international flight from Addis Ababa to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
As more female pilots continue to break boundaries, we await the day when all-female pilots and crews are such a norm that it stops becoming newsworthy.


The successful event “Venice Air Festival” is back again this year and it will take place at the Nicelli airport, on the Lido island from 24th to 26th September 2011. Three exciting days that will involve not only pilots and workers of this sector but all the flight lovers.
The Air Festival, organised also this year by Expo Venice in cooperation with Prima Aviator – an agency specialized in organizing exhibitions in this field – promises to entertain the guests with a calendar full of events: besides the stand area, it will take place various shows, first of all the exciting “air extreme” that consists in a sequence of flight acrobatics made by the best European pilots.
The Air Festival offers also the possibility to take part in meetings and congresses held by important representatives of this branch or to enjoy shows of airplanes, helicopters or double-decker airplanes and, thanks to the cooperation with Heliair, all the guests will have the opportunity to try the breathtaking experience of seeing Venice from the sky on board of an helicopter.
On the occasion of the Festival, Nicelli Airport at Lido di Venezia will be open to General Aviation traffic and to ULM.

The 30mm caliber air defence system was developed by combining the existing self-propelled gun vehicle called Biho with the portable ground-to-air guided missile named Shingung, Xinhua quoted the Defence Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).
The system development was launched in 2010, led by local defence companies such as Doosan Defense Systems and Technology, Samsung Thales and LIG Nex1.
The DAPA said the system modernized the existing self-propelled guns developed in 1980s, while enhancing combat capabilities by integrating longer-range guided missiles that can strike aircrafts flying at a low altitude.
The self-propelled gun was known to have a range of 3 km, with the surface-to-air guided missile having a range of 7 km.
The multi-purpose air defence vehicle planned to be mass-produced next year, before being deployed to troops in 2015.

A Peruvian plane carrying 141 passengers on board was involved in an accident at the Francisco Carlie Airport in Jauja, Peru
The plane, Boeing 737-300 which had been on a special flight from the capital, Lima, to Jauja, veered off the runway, bursting into flames upon landing at the airport at about 4:30 pm on Tuesday local time, according to reports.
The airline in a statement said none of the passengers on board suffered any serious injuries from the accident, noting that all passengers were safely evacuated from the plane.
But Le Republica reported that least 26 people, including a child, were injured in the incident.
Witnesses said the pilot had lost control of the plane in high winds, while another report said the blaze had been caused by an exploding tire.
Peruvian Interior Minister Carlos Basombrio said the fire had probably started when the plane’s wing scraped the runway.
‘The plane couldn’t stop on the runway and they made a maneuver to stop it with the wing and that appears to have caused the fire,’ Basombrio told local broadcaster RPP.
However, an investigation has been launched into the cause of the combustion.
Watch the video and see more photos from the blaze below..

Outer space has always fascinated humanity, beckoning us with its mysteries and infinite possibilities. From the first manned mission to the moon to the recent exploration of distant planets and celestial bodies, our adventures beyond Earth continue to captivate our collective imagination. But as we embark on this cosmic journey, it is essential to consider the legal aspects that govern our activities in the great beyond. Let’s explore the legal aspects of space exploration.
The exploration of outer space, once the realm of science fiction, has now become a tangible reality. As nations and private entities reach for the stars, the legal aspects of space exploration have gained prominence. In this article, we’ll embark on a journey through the intricacies of space law, exploring the rights, responsibilities, and regulations that govern our adventures beyond Earth’s boundaries.
Outer Space in International Law-Legal Aspects of Space Exploration
Outer space isn’t just a celestial playground; it’s also a legal one, governed by a complex web of international agreements and principles. The Outer Space Treaty, adopted in 1967, is the cornerstone of space law. It lays down fundamental principles, including the prohibition of nuclear weapons in space, the demilitarization of the moon and other celestial bodies, and the exploration of outer space for peaceful purposes. This treaty, ratified by over 100 countries, sets the stage for responsible space exploration.
To ensure that space remains a peaceful realm, the Outer Space Treaty also bans the national appropriation of celestial bodies, emphasizing that the moon and other celestial bodies are the province of all mankind. This principle sets the stage for the question that follows:
Does the World Need a New Global Convention About the Moon?
The moon, Earth’s celestial companion, has long piqued the interest of nations and organizations. With increasing interest in lunar exploration, it’s crucial to consider whether we need a new global convention specifically addressing the moon’s governance. Let’s break down the reasons why such a convention might be necessary:
- Resource Utilization: As technology advances, the possibility of mining the moon for resources like water, helium-3, and rare minerals becomes more feasible. A new convention could establish rules for equitable resource utilization and protection of the moon’s environment.
- Commercial Activities: Private companies are eager to exploit lunar resources and offer lunar tourism. A global convention could address issues related to property rights, liability, and safety.
- Preservation: The moon’s scientific value is immeasurable. A convention could ensure the preservation of historical and scientific sites, like the Apollo landing sites, to benefit future generations.
- Conflict Avoidance: Clear rules for lunar activities can prevent conflicts between nations and entities operating on the moon.
A Proposed Moon Convention: Key Points
Let’s lay out some key points that a new global convention about the moon could encompass:
|Key Points About Legal Aspects of Space Exploration
|Lunar Resource Allocation
|Equitable distribution, responsible mining, and taxation
|Preserving lunar ecosystems and preventing pollution
|Regulations for commercial moon missions and activities
|Cultural and Scientific Heritage
|Preservation of historic sites and scientific endeavors
|Mechanisms for resolving disputes on the moon
FAQS About Legal Aspects of Space Exploration
Q: What is the Outer Space Treaty?
A: The Outer Space Treaty is an international agreement that governs activities in outer space. It prohibits the placement of nuclear weapons in space, bans the national appropriation of celestial bodies, and promotes the peaceful exploration of outer space.
Q: Who is responsible for enforcing space laws?
A: Space laws are enforced by the countries that have ratified relevant international treaties. Additionally, organizations like the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) play a role in promoting and coordinating space-related activities.
Q: Why do we need a new global convention about the moon?
A: A new convention about the moon is necessary to address the unique challenges and opportunities presented by lunar exploration, including resource utilization, commercial ventures, environmental protection, and conflict avoidance.
Q: How are space debris and space traffic managed according to space law?
A: The Outer Space Treaty doesn’t address these issues directly. However, international guidelines and cooperation among space-faring nations help manage space debris and coordinate space traffic safely.
Q: How are private space companies regulated in space law?
A: Private space companies are subject to national laws and international agreements. Regulations vary, but they typically cover licensing, safety, and environmental concerns. Discussions are ongoing to adapt space law to the growing role of private space ventures.
As we venture further into the cosmos, it is essential to uphold the principles of outer space in international law while adapting to the changing landscape of space exploration. A new global convention about the moon could pave the way for responsible lunar activities that benefit all of humanity and protect the celestial wonder that has inspired generations. In this exciting era of space exploration, let us explore the cosmos with not only curiosity but also a commitment to preserving its beauty and potential.

Ohio Wing Commander's Welcome
Welcome to the Ohio Wing Civil Air Patrol!
Civil Air Patrol was founded merely one week before the United States entered World War II in 1941. During the war, CAP members flew many missions in defense of our homeland, and had a major role in keeping our coastal waterways safe from enemy attacks. After the war, the US Air Force and Congress believed that CAP can continue to contribute and in 1947, President Harry S. Truman signed into law the creation of CAP as the Auxiliary of the US Air Force.
CAP was created with three missions, represented by the three propeller blades on our emblem. These three mission include emergency services, cadet programs, and aerospace education. Ohio Wing CAP has always been in the forefront of these missions, and we are active in all three.
Through our Emergency Services program we have responded to numerous natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy and many local situations. We also work closely with the Ohio National Guard and USAF in support of their missions on a routine basis. Our Cadet program is one of the finest youth training programs available to young people ages 12 to 18. Our Aerospace Education program allows teachers and school administrators to become actively involved, and promotes aviation education with the highest quality materials available.
The Ohio Wing Civil Air Patrol web site is here to provide you with information for those who may wish to join, and also to those that are already members. For more information and to learn more about Civil Air Patrol on line or find a squadron near you please go to www.gocivilairpatrol.com

EU launches three new missions in space for validation of new technologies and innovation in orbit
EU launches three new missions in space
Today, three new In-Orbit Demonstration and Validation (IOD/IOV) missions were launched onboard of the European launcher Vega flight VV23 from the European spaceport in French Guyana, under the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. The three missions, six satellites and nine experiments, will allow the test of technologies with a wide variety of application, which are detailed below.
The European Union IOD/IOV programme allows experiments to be tested in orbit and get flight heritage (validation in real environment) for scientific, public, or commercial purposes. The test of technologies in orbit is the final step before placing them on the market. Through the IOD/IOV missions, the European Union, supported by the European Space Agency, is closing the gap between the development of a technology and its commercialisation. This is a fantastic way to boost the competitiveness of the European space industry through innovation, and to enhance European scientific excellence.
The SYNDEO-1&2 cubesat mission is aggregating seven IOD/IOV experiments, while the ESTCube-2 and ANSER missions are provided as ready to fly satellites for in-orbit demonstration.
In total, in this Vega launch, entities from six European countries will benefit from IOD/IOV services.
- SYNDEO-1 & SYNDEO-2: for the first time under the Horizon 2020 the EU is launching aggregated missions of seven experiments covering different space themes from space science, technology, propulsion, space traffic management. The missions are implemented by the Dutch aerospace company ISISpace and the payloads were produced by universities and SMEs from Belgium, Spain, France and Czechia.
- ESTCube-2: a mission developed by a group of space students from University of Tartu (Estonia) consisting of a 3U cubesat to demonstrate deorbiting with plasma brake technology and qualify a deep-space nanospacecraft platform for future missions that will use the electric solar wind sail.
- ANSER: developed by the Spanish Institute INTA (Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial) whose objective is to study and monitor the water quality of the reserves of the Iberian Peninsula by means of spectrometric techniques. It consists of a cluster of 3X3U Cubesats that will fly in formation in low earth orbit.
Ultimately, the entire space ecosystem is supported through the IOD/IOV program of the Commission, from universities and research centres to SMEs and satellite manufacturers. IOD/IOV also supports an autonomous access to Space by relying on European launch solutions. It is instrumental to the CASSINI initiative of the Commission to support the fast development of new commercial entrants in space.
The IOD/IOV programme of the Commission launched the first call of interest in 2018 under Horizon 2020. It attracted more than 50 proposals from various European entities, from SMEs to large companies, universities, and research organisations. Successful applications relate to technology innovation for Earth observation, positioning navigation and timing, satellite communication and space science. In September 2020, the first selected IOD/IOV experiment, UPMSat-2, was successfully launched on board the Vega launcher. The three new missions launched in October 2023 are part of the selection.
Currently, two parallel Calls for Expression of Interest are open to gather experiments that could be considered for IOD/IOV actions that cover aggregation, if needed, launch services and operations. Application is open for: 1) IOD/IOV Experiments needing aggregation; and 2) Ready to Fly IOD/IOV satellites. More information are available here.
Technologies to be tested through the SYNDEO 1 Cubesat:
- Miniature star tracker for attitude determination: the objective is to test in orbit a high accuracy and low-cost miniaturized Star Tracker for attitude determination – Solar MEMS Technologies S.L. (SME – Spain).
- Demonstration of a high-accuracy CubeSat Attitude Determination and Control System: the objective is to validate a high-accuracy compact (CubeSat) attitude determination and control system (ADCS) with novel star tracker and reaction wheels. – KU Leuven (University - Belgium).
- Demonstrating an arc second accurate CubeSat star tracker: validation of a star tracker including a novel star tracker algorithm, novel calibration methods in orbit, and the validation of the baffle and opto-mechanical design. – KU Leuven (University - Belgium).
- RADIOX: RADiation effects during In Orbit Flight eXperiment: the goal is to experimentally verify a novel radiation sensor. The radiation sensor is based on an electronic memory in which errors due to energetic particles are monitored. The radiation intensity is detected by measuring the number of errors in the memory – KU Leuven (University – Belgium).
Technologies to be tested through the SYNDEO 2 Cubesat:
- Spacepix Radiation Monitor (SXRM): on-orbit validation and qualification of the fully developed radiation detector based on SpacePix ASIC in space environment by means of a full-scale prototype of the tracking radiation detector in the orbital radiation field (measuring flux of electrons, protons and heavy ions) – Esc Aerospace s.r.o (SME – Czechia).
- In-orbit low-frequency noise characterization towards the magnetic measurement system for LISA: the objective of the IOD is the validation of part of the magnetic diagnostics system for LISA, in particular the magnetic sensor and its associated electronic noise reduction techniques at sub-millihertz frequencies. – Universidad de Cádiz (University – Spain).
- In orbit demonstration of Plasma Jet Pack 0-30 W: the proposed experiment consists in the IOD of an electric thruster - PJP Plasma Jet Pack- using metal -tungsten- as fuel and enhanced by magnetic coil. The thruster aims at being adopted by small satellites in the 15-30 kg range. – COMAT (SME – France).
