President Trump Signs Into Effect a Policy for Space Cybersecurity
The days of the commercial space industry revolution have dawned upon us. With corporations like SpaceX and Virgin Galactic leading the charge, humanity’s grasp for the stars is getting tighter and tighter with each week that passes. But as the commercialization of space becomes a more conventional concept and nations begin to scheme for the future of such, there is an abundance of questions that have to be answered in preparation for the voyage of humanity into space – a step that will certainly capture the zeitgeist of the 2000s.
As the technology evolves, the threat of cyberattacks evolves along with it. In a domain that is primarily ruled by technology and its cyber-infrastructure, a cyberattack on any form of space system could have massive, widespread repercussions. On 4 September, President Trump issued a new set of cybersecurity protocols to defend the United States’ space systems; Space Policy Directive-5 (“SPD-5”) will foster practices within the government and commercial space operations to ensure the protection of space systems from cyberthreats.
In a statement regarding the issuance and mission of SPD-5, Scott Pace, the deputy assistant to President Trump and executive secretary of the National Space Council, said “Through establishing cybersecurity principles for space systems, Space Policy Directive-5 provides a whole-of-government framework to safeguard space assets and critical infrastructure.”
The framework of SPD-5 essentially establishes cybersecurity measures that will be incorporated into all stages of space system development and operations. Although protective software is a major influence, SPD-5 stipulates other vital elements, such as the vetting of anyone who touches command lines for a spacecraft, monitoring ground-based networks for intrusion, and ensuring that telemetry links between a satellite and the ground are thoroughly encrypted. Furthermore, SPD-5 lays out the recognition of the crucial role played by the private sector in the development of space systems, directing the U.S. government agencies to work with commercial space companies to further define the best practices, establish cybersecurity informed norms, and promote improved cybersecurity behaviors throughout the nation’s industrial base for space systems.
In recent years, the long-held space dominance of the U.S. has been challenged like never before by nations like Russia and China; the implementation of SPD-5 falls parallel with this narrative. SPD-5 lays out the following cybersecurity principles for space systems:
- Space systems and their supporting infrastructure, including software, should be developed and operated using risk-based, cybersecurity-informed engineering.
- Space systems operators should develop or integrate cybersecurity plans for space systems that include capabilities to protect against unauthorized access; reduce vulnerabilities of command, control, and telemetry systems; protect against communications jamming and spoofing; protect ground systems from cyberthreats; promote adoption of appropriate cybersecurity hygiene practices, and manage supply chain risks.
- Space system cybersecurity requirements and regulations should leverage widely adopted best practices and norms of behavior.
- Space system owners and operators should collaborate to promote the development of best practices and mitigation approaches.
- Space system operators should make appropriate risk trades when implementing cybersecurity requirements specific to their system.
As the name suggests, SPD-5 is the fifth space policy directive signed by President Trump. SPD-1 officially put the nation on a crewed course back to the moon, SPD-2 eased regulations on commercial spaceflight companies, SPD-3 dealt with space-traffic management and SPD-4 directed the Department of Defense to create the U.S. Space Force.
With the space race once again heating up – this time around making momentous developments faster than ever – the shift of the human race to the cosmos has become more articulate in its actuality.


From the list on space exploration, astronauts, the moon, and beyond.
Who am I?
I’ve followed the history of space exploration since I was a kid! Although I spent decades photographing assignments in exotic international locations and co-authored visually driven books on astronomical phenomena, my dream was to photograph in NASA’s restricted space exploration work cultures. Never giving up, I achieved unprecedented access into the shuttle mission that saved the Hubble Space Telescope and, for more than a decade, with the New Horizons team that first explored the Pluto system. I’ve been published in media like Smithsonian, Nat Geo, WIRED, New Scientist, and NPR. Honored that my photographs of astronaut space tools are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Air & Space Museum.
Michael's book list on space exploration, astronauts, the moon, and beyond
Discover why each book is one of Michael's favorite books.
Why did Michael love this book?
As explorers carrying cameras, the Gemini and Apollo astronauts (1965-72) were like the pioneer photographers of the 19th century who, with their cameras, responded to the unknowns of the American West. These astronauts, however, were responding to the new and unexplored by photographing their experiences inside their spacecraft and outside in the vacuum of space. During the late 90s the photographer Michael Light gained access to NASA’s Apollo-era photo archive and made the first drum-scanned digital files from perfect copies of the original flight films. Light’s artful editing and juxtaposition of superbly reproduced full-page black and white, and color images creates a cinematic-like journey to the moon and back. In the annals of published space photography, there are very few well-designed books as timeless.


"Like Airbnb for flight simulators"
Simhawk is a web app for buying and selling flight simulator time, and we worked with their development team to create an identity, marketing site and UI for the product.
New and veteran pilots often have a hard time finding the best place to get simulator training, and they have nowhere to compare prices, locations, and training programs. Similarly, airlines with large fleets of multi-million-dollar flight simulators don't have a place to list them when they are available for use.
Thinking through this product was a chance to take a dated way of doing things, and make it exciting for both pilots and fleets.

What is a Drone?
Drones, also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs), have taken the workforce by storm in recent years. With continuously advancing technical abilities, the workforce has begun to implement drones as a means of completing what was once a timely, costly and complex task quickly, efficiently and effectively.
Drones can be defined as an aircraft without any human pilot, crew or passengers on board. Drones can be remotely manned with a ground-based controller or they can also fly autonomously using software systems.
A Brief History of Drones
While the history of drones can be dated back to 1898 with Nikola Tesla’s radio-controlled boat, the first mainstream adoption of drones began in 1960 with the radio-controlled model plane.
However, drones didn’t enter the workforce until 1996 with the US predator drone that the United State military used in the search of Osama Bin Laden in the War in Afghanistan. 10 years later, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved the first commercial use drone.
Shortly after, drones began to frequently become more advanced with longer battery life as well as more technical capabilities like adding an attached camera and the ability to carry heavier objects. Additionally, the cost and size of drones decreased significantly allowing them to become widely adopted as both a hobby and professional tool.
Drones in Agriculture
The agriculture industry landscape has changed dramatically as advancements in technology have developed. With the adoption of drones into the workforce, the agriculture industry has been able to optimize its operational processes. From now collecting in-depth data to replacing manual labor with UAVs capable of handling physical tasks, drones have aided the industry in completing its goals while using fewer resources.
Drones can be used in social and field analysis to create 3-D maps for soil analysis throughout the planting processes and are even used for planning seed planting patterns. Additionally, UAVs are then used for planting which has decreased costs by 85% as well as crop spraying which is completed 5x as fast as traditional machinery. Additionally, UAVs allow farmers and ranchers to monitor their livestock for health issues, search for animals separated from their herd and
Drones in Law Enforcement
The adoption of drones has impacted several industries including law enforcement. Currently, many police departments across the country are currently using drones to protect and serve their communities.
For example, police departments are currently using UAVs to map the city in which they serve in order to create logistic plans for city events, determine high traffic areas for traffic management and plan for natural disaster evacuations as well as relief.
Additionally, police departments are also using drones for accident and crime prevention as well as evidence gathering. Drones can be used in a multitude of ways for police offers to determine threat levels and next steps in high-risk situations such as SWAT stand-offs, chasing suspects by identifying potential weapons and tracking suspects. UAVs are also used in search and rescue efforts as they can monitor hard-to-reach areas and report heat signatures when outfitted with thermal cameras.
Drones in STEM
While in other industries, drones are used to overcome obstacles and increase efficiency, UAVs play a unique role in STEM as they are used in educational settings as well as for research purposes.
In education, drones allow educators to engage students in a new and unique way. Not only can students learn how to fly drones in school, but they can also be introduced to programming with many courses helping students learn to code.
In the research sector, UAVs are used to gather data from inaccessible specimens, monitor climate change and endangered wildlife as well as inspect installations and projects for malfunctioning equipment.
As drones continue to advance and become more affordable, their impact on the workforce will continue to grow, creating safer environments, efficient processes and providing more insight.

When air travel debuted in the early 20th century, it was both rare and expensive. Air travel was restricted to the very wealthy, and each trip was a special occasion — even if the plane was deafeningly loud and rattled your teeth for the entire flight.
After World War II, powerful engines and improved plane designs made it possible to carry more passengers for longer distances. The economics of scale brought the price of a plane ticket within reach of the average family.
Many airlines continued to treat air travel as a luxury, however, free meals and drinks, expansive and comfortable seats, personal attention from flight attendants and other amenities kept the price of plane tickets relatively high.
Airline deregulation and the changing economics of the airline industry lead to a new type of airline category — the budget airline.


Bad weather happened to be the reason for Elon Musk’s SpaceX to delay until Sunday a test in which it will destroy one of its own rockets in a trial of a crucial emergency abort system on an anonymous astronaut capsule.
Previously, the test was planned to take place on Saturday. Its company final milestone test before flying NASA astronauts from the U.S. soil.
SpaceX described on Twitter that it was standing down from the Crew Dragon capsule test because of the recovery area surrounded by high winds and rough seas.
Standing down from today’s in-flight Crew Dragon launch escape test attempt due to sustained winds and rough seas in the recovery area. Now targeting Sunday, January 19, with a six-hour test window opening at 8:00 a.m. EST, 13:00 UTC
— SpaceX (@SpaceX) January 18, 2020
It was now looking at conducting the test on Sunday, with a six-hour test window which will start at 8 a.m. ET (1300 GMT).
Not more than two minutes after liftoff from a launchpad in Florida, the Crew Dragon will fire onboard thrusters to eject itself off a Falcon 9 rocket mid-air, simulating an emergency abort scenario that will testify it can return astronauts with safety.
The test is crucial to best-fit SpaceX’s astronaut capsule to fly humans to the International Space Station, which the experts at National Aeronautics and Space Administration anticipate to come as soon as mid-2020.
The test follows years of development and pauses as the U.S. has sought to come around its human spaceflight program through private affiliations.
NASA awarded $2.5 billion to SpaceX and $4.2 billion to Boeing in 2014 to develop distinct capsule systems capable of taking astronauts to the space station from the U.S. soil for the very first time since its space shuttle program ended in 2011.
The American space agency has since relied on Russian spacecraft to snag rides to the space station.
In the test, Falcon 9 rocket’s boosters will shut down approximately 12 miles (19 km) above the ocean, a pretended failure that will prompt Crew Dragon’s so-called SuperDraco thrusters to jet itself away at the supersonic speeds of up to 1,500 miles per hour (2,400 kph).
The capsule will use three parachutes to slow its descent to water, taking aboard two human-shaped dummies dressed in motion sensors to accumulate valuable data on the jumbo g-force–the effect of acceleration on the body-imposed during an abort.
The booster will free-fall and toss back uncontrollably toward the ocean, said Benji Reed, SpaceX’s Crew Mission Management director.
“At some point, we anticipate that the Falcon will start to break up, Reed said, and added: “Our Falcon 9 recovery forces will be there by ready to go and recover as much of the Falcon as we can as safely as possible.”
The in-flight abort test was primarily scheduled to carry out during mid-2019, but the timeline was delayed by nine months after one of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsules shattered during April on a test stand just before firing its launch abort thrusters, causing a lengthy investigation.
SpaceX zeroed in on a previously unnamed explosive reaction between the capsule’s rocket fuel and a titanium valve. Benji Reed told Reuters that SpaceX had finalized the investigation within the last week.

SpaceX successfully tested a prototype Starship for flights to Marswebadmin | August 25, 2020 | 0 | Business , Stories , Tech
The American company SpaceX conducted on Thursday the next flight tests of the prototype of the Starship ship intended for future flights to Mars. The launch took place at a test site in the Boca Chica area of Texas.
NASA has chosen future missions to study space weather
The ship modification SN6 rose to a height of 45.7 meters, and then made a smooth landing on the platform next to the launch table, writes TASS, referring to the CNBC TV channel. No failures were reported.
Recall that this is the second successful test of Starship. The last test flight took place on the fifth of August, when the ship rose to 150 meters. And in may, April and February, the tests ended in explosions.The reusable Starship spacecraft is designed for flights to Mars and is designed for 100 people. The first test flight of the ship in earth orbit is planned for next year.


On September 9th, 2022 at the National Space Council, Vice President Harris announced an initiative to excite and unite us about the future of the space workforce. The release of the Interagency Roadmap to Support Space-Related STEM Education and Workforce emphasizes administrative actions “to bolster our nation’s capacity to inspire, prepare and employ a diverse and inclusive space workforce.” Some of these actions include:
Increasing awareness of the wide range of space careers.
Providing resources and opportunities to better prepare job seekers for the workplace.
Placing a focus on strategies to recruit, retain and advance professionals of all backgrounds in the space workforce.
Vice President Harris also announces a new coalition of space companies whose purpose will be to help the space industry meet its demand for skilled workers in the various fields that it encompasses. Additionally, numerous new efforts are being put into effect to promote more STEM education, most of which emphasize more hands-on learning. This is particularly important in inspiring students about space exploration and potential career opportunities. Together these initiatives highlight the exciting potential around the future of the space industry, especially with an incoming diverse group of young people that will soon occupy the field and push space exploration forward.
As Vice President Harris touched on, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are crucial to the progression of the space industry and the various careers it has to offer. The greatest achievements in space exploration have been thanks to the collaboration of diverse groups of people who have brought in their various experiences and expertise. For example, female JoAnn Morgan, was one of the few key people behind the moon landings. She was the instrumentation controller for Apollo 11, which put her in charge of guiding the computers at the Central Instrumentation Facility and the communication and TV broadcast systems. Meanwhile, Project Mercury, the first human spaceflight program of the US, was achieved with the help of a Black female mathematician, Katherine Johnson. She calculated the trajectories, emergency return paths, and launch windows for this mission, making it very successful. Gender and racial representation within space exploration is just one part of expanding diversity, but it is individuals like these women and their opportunity to excel in a male-domianted space, that prove that diversity greatly benefits the space industry. Increasing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts are vital to space exploration for numerous reasons, some of which are as follows.
Slooh is committed to DEI by democratizing access to space, making it easy and affordable for anyone to have access to online telescopes situated at some of the best observatories in the world including the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, home of the largest telescope in the world. Slooh makes its platform available for free to Title 1 schools through grants offered at Slooh.org.
It aids in filling in-demand space exploration positions
The US Chamber of Commerce reveals that there are an estimated 400,000 jobs in the space economy today, and this number is projected to rise to 1.5 million in the future. This major increase is motivated by efforts to improve space exploration moving forward. By making the hiring process more inclusive and equitable, these demands can be met. Some professionals are more in demand than others when it comes to space exploration. Malware and intrusions can put sensitive information and even the safety of astronauts at risk, which is why cybersecurity careers are particularly needed to man computers for analysis, problem-solving, and security. For instance, space cybersecurity professionals ensure that ground-based systems are running for the safety of astronauts. The US Chamber of Commerce adds that people in manufacturing careers are also needed to continue making parts, instruments, and goods to be used in future space missions. Meeting these job demands by prioritizing DEI in hiring practices will benefit the industry in ensuring that space efforts are safer and more efficient.
It improves efficiency in the space industry The world relies a lot on the space sector for enhancing the planet’s safety, uncovering the history of the universe, and making scientific discoveries. As such, it needs to be an industry that is efficient and productive. DEI helps contribute to these efforts. Inclusivity produces better outcomes from employees 87% of the time by helping them stay safe and comfortable in the workplace. If the space exploration sector invests more in DEI initiatives, there’s no doubt that these improved outcomes will help it provide increasingly better services to the population. It ensures better innovation for the space industry
Technology Magazine informs us that in 2021, only 20% of the international space industry were women. This is not a huge change compared to 30 years ago when only 11% of astronauts were women. In 2019, the American Institute of Physics also called out the underrepresentation of African Americans in the space industry due to financial inequality and exclusive workplaces. The lack of representation hinders innovation for space exploration. People from different backgrounds with contrasting experiences will provide unique perspectives that can lead to breakthroughs in space exploration. For example, the Hamilton Project found that cities with more highly-skilled immigrants are also more innovative. With a diverse set of professionals, there will be more opportunities for innovation and problem-solving. This makes DEI efforts all the more important. For the progression of the industry, everyone must be given the chance to apply their knowledge in a way that is heard and respected.
Current DEI initiatives in space exploration efforts The good news is that the space exploration industry is already currently implementing DEI efforts. The first is NASA’s plan to include women in the next moon landing mission to invoke the collective role of humanity in space. Another is AstroAccess, which gives people with disabilities a chance to experience weightlessness and basic astronaut training, as bigger space agencies have specific criteria for astronauts that they are often unable to meet. Through this initiative, they are given the opportunity to participate in space efforts even on the ground. These are undoubtedly just the first of many steps the industry is taking in the right direction. While space exploration already has DEI efforts in place, there’s always room to implement better initiatives to benefit society as a whole. After all, having discussed the importance of DEI in the industry, there’s no doubt that it is essential to further space discovery.

The Indian Aviation Industry saw a new beginning in 1994. Led by the vision and an indomitable enterprise of Neeraj Bhatia,it was Summit Aviation Private Limited (SAPL) that was incorporated by a team of professionals in 1994 to cater to the increasingly complex demands of the burgeoning Aviation Industry in India. Since then, SAPL has made steady progress in its growth having crossed many significant milestones and concurrently blossomed into a trans-national corporate identity by establishing strong and excellent relationship with the Principals and Operators.
Being supported by a dynamic and dedicated team of 24 hard-core Professionals with experience of over four decades in aircraft/helicopter operation, maintenance, marketing and administration, Summit Aviation was not satisfied with its achievement and strived for more. Summit Aviation, in a process spread its wings to bring Alouette and Lama helicopter under its cover and SAPL became a new icon in the Aviation Industry as maintenance & operations organisation in the year 1996. SAPL started a new voyage by maintaining the helicopter of the State Government of Rajasthan, and M/S Tata Tea Ltd. In 1998 the company obtained the esteemed project from the Border Security Force for the Operation and Maintenance of their Chetak helicopter at Jodhpur and a Cheetah helicopter at Srinagar (which we continue to do so till date). From March 1999 till September 2004 SAPL operated and maintained the three Chetak helicopters of the ONGC also.


The Soviet/Russian series of Cosmos satellite missions is carried out for a variety of military and civil purposes. Falling under its jurisdiction is the Cosmos biosatellite program, which includes a series of missions dedicated to biological experimentation in unmanned, Earth-orbiting satellites. The Cosmos biosatellite program is often referred to as the Biocosmos program or the Bion program by various non-U.S. sources.
The Russian biosatellite program began with the launch in 1966 of Cosmos 110, a mission concerned mainly with studies of the cardiovascular system. The 22-day Cosmos 110 mission is the longest duration biosatellite orbital flight achieved to date. A wide variety of experimental subjects was flown on subsequent missions, including rats, beginning with Cosmos 605 (also called Bion 1), and primates, beginning with Cosmos 1514.
The unparalleled success of the Cosmos biosatellite program is due to several factors. The research conducted under its auspices is complex, combining studies in numerous areas within the life sciences. Many organisms from very different taxonomic orders have been studied on biosatellites since the program's inception. An important feature of the program has been its predictable, frequent launch schedule. Its continuous internal evolution has enabled scientists to study increasingly complicated levels of a given problem. The participation in the program of specialists from a number of European countries and the U.S. has also been to its advantage.
Cooperation in space ventures between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. was initiated in 1971, with the signing of the U.S./U.S.S.R. Science and Applications Agreement (which included an agreement on space research cooperation). The the U.S.S.R. first offered to fly U.S. experiments on a Cosmos biosatellite in 1974, only a few years after the termination (in 1969) of the U.S. biosatellite program. The offer was realized in 1975 when the first joint U.S./U.S.S.R. investigations were carried out on the Cosmos 782 mission.
Through 1990, the U.S. participated in seven Cosmos biosatellite missions: Cosmos 782, 936, 1129, 1514, 1667, 1887, and 2044. Each mission is described in detail in later sections of this chapter. An eighth joint mission, Cosmos 2229, was launched in 1992. Funds furnished by the U.S. were used for experiment development and analysis, mission logistics, and project management for U.S.-related mission activities. All costs related to launch have been borne by the U.S.S.R. The Institute of Biomedical Problems of the U.S.S.R. Ministry of Health in Moscow has played a leading role in research design, experiment integration, and data interpretation. The primary responsibility for equipment design has been undertaken by the Biophyspribor Design Bureau in Leningrad (St. Petersburg). Soviet scientists provided all organisms flown on these missions. The only exception to this was on Cosmos 782 when U.S. scientists provided some specimens.
On the three earliest of the joint U.S./U.S.S.R. missions, most U.S. experiments were conducted in carry-on packages. Such packages typically contained insects or plant tissues and required only the use of the spacecraft environmental control and life support systems. Radiation dosimetry experiments of the carry-on type were also developed by U.S. investigators for these missions. Other U.S. experiments involved obtaining preflight and postflight measurements from rats flown on the biosatellites.
A new level of cooperation between the two countries began with the Cosmos 1514 mission. On this and subsequent missions, the U.S. provided experiment hardware that required integration with the Soviet spacecraft and data systems.
Since Cosmos missions typically remained in orbit for a considerably longer time than the U.S. Space Shuttle, the Cosmos biosatellite was particularly useful for studies requiring longer exposure of biological subjects to microgravity. Joint U.S./U.S.S.R. Cosmos flights have served as testing grounds for developing U.S. experiments and flight hardware. Experience acquired by U.S. scientists and engineers on these missions will be a valuable asset for developing U.S. space programs such as the STS Extended Duration Orbiter and Space Station.
The goals of the joint U.S./U.S.S.R. research performed within the Cosmos biosatellite program are to: investigate mechanisms for physiological, biochemical and behavioral changes associated with the space environment; identify and evaluate potential hazards to man during long-duration space flight; study ways of supporting long-duration manned space flight in the areas of artificial gravity, radiation shielding and life-support; and use the microgravity environment to determine the role of gravity in terrestrial biological phenomena.
The biosatellite is designed for conducting long-term experiments in space and for returning the biological subjects to Earth. It is composed of three compartments: the landing module, the instrument assembly compartment, and a hermetically sealed unit that contains additional chemical sources of energy (Fig. 4-32).
The landing module is a complex, autonomous compartment capable of housing the biological subjects. It has a modified Vostok design, similar to the spacecraft used in early Soviet manned space flights. Spherical in shape, with a diameter of approximately 2.5 m and a gross weight of about 2250 kg, it can accommodate a 900 kg payload. Batteries supply power required during the flight. The interior of the spacecraft is maintained at sea level conditions, with a total pressure of approximately 760 ml mercury, an oxygen partial pressure of 135-212 ml and a carbon dioxide partial pressure of up to 7 ml. Relative humidity is approximately 56-66 percent during flight, and ambient temperatures range from 22.0° to 25.5°C. Ammonia, methane and other gaseous impurities generated within the craft are kept at low levels by circulating the cabin air through canisters of absorbent materials.
The biosatellite is launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome, on the Cosmos launcher. The B1 version of the launcher used between 1962 and 1972 was capable of placing 280 to 600 kg in low Earth orbit. After almost 150 successful missions, it was replaced by the C version. Based on a medium range ballistic missile, the C launcher has a reignitable second stage and is able to reach very high orbits.

Although global conflicts, including the tragic war in Ukraine and instability in other areas of the world, are geographically distant, service members right here in Colorado play an active and critical role. Joining them is College of Engineering, Design and Computing Associate Dean Mark Golkowski, who in March was inducted into the Space Force as an Honorary Commander of Space Delta 4.
Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora hosts Space Delta 4, whose mission includes actively monitoring missile and rocket launches worldwide. Created in 2019, the Space Force’s essential mission is to make sure that space is safe and accessible to the U.S. and international partners. Access to space, which was not so long ago a fantasy, is now a critical service. “Any time you open any app on your smartphone, you are connecting to space,” says Space Delta 4 Commander Colonel Miguel Cruz, referring to the fact that GPS signals from distant satellites provide the location and timing information that enables all modern communications and financial transactions. The Space Delta 4 mission also includes contributing to missile defense, space domain awareness, battlespace awareness, and technical intelligence. This mission is accomplished using a cutting-edge array of satellites and radars. The unique capabilities of the Space Force are aptly captured with their Latin motto videmus mundum, “we see the world.”
In his new role, Golkowski, PhD, joins other civic leaders in Colorado to help foster relationships between the Space Force and the local community in the Denver metro area. In particular, Golkowski will connect Space Delta 4 to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) students and researchers at CU Denver. This partnership with one of the most high-tech branches of the Department of Defense aligns in exciting ways with the university’s and college’s strategic plans to become an innovation hub and foster partnerships that serve the state. CEDC Dean Martin Dunn noted, “We are especially excited by the potential of this partnership as Dr. Golkowski’s research expertise is in near-Earth space sciences, many CU Denver graduates enter careers in Colorado’s thriving aerospace industry, and many of our faculty have expertise in topics of central importance to space including communications, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing.”
Golkowski said of his new venture: “An exciting vision for the new CU Denver engineering building is to make it a place where academia, local industry, and the Space Force form a synergistic ecosystem powering the local economy and serving the nation. I look forward to inviting Colonel Cruz to visit CU Denver next semester and also enabling CU Denver students to visit Buckley Space Force Base.” As an Honorary Commander, Golkowski will have access to Buckley Space Force Base and participate in Space Delta 4 events for the next two years.

I am presently reading a very interesting book that I happened to come across whilst browsing through Amazon.co.uk a week or so back. It is a little known story but one that had to an air of secrecy about it, because of the sensitivity that revolved around the symbolism, politics and religious implications of those who would eventually takes those first steps upon The Moons surface. The title of the book is ‘The Apostles of Apollo’ Carol Mersch. Continue reading Apostles of Apollo

Apollo 14 had also had its share of ‘glitches’ on its transit from Earth to The Moon.
A major milestone of the mission was to accelerate the Apollo 14 spacecraft from the 17,500mph orbital velocity to 24,500mph. To achieve this velocity would mean re-igniting the still attached S-IVB third stage engine for 6 minutes. Once the ‘TLI burn’ had successfully occurred, the Apollo Command and Service Module’s would have to detach themselves from the now redundant S-IVB. However at the top end of the now expended third stage was the Lunar Module ‘Antares’, safely encased in the Lunar Module Adapter section. The Command Module Pilot – Stuart Roosa – would now perform a third vital maneuver of the mission; the ‘Transposition and Docking’ maneuver. This required separating the Command and Service Modules from third stage and then revolving the spacecraft so that the front of it was facing the now following S-IVB stage. A command would then be issued to open Lunar Module Adapter panels that encased the Lunar Module. With the panels successfully opened, the Command Module Pilot would apply forward thrust to Command Module and using a docking probe attached to the front of the Command Module, insert this into what was referred to as the drogue at the top of the Lunar Module.
It had been a long journey for Alan Shepard, both in time and the sacrifices he had to make in his life to be at the place he was now.

The first flight has landed at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu today, Saturday, August 29 ahead of the official reopening scheduled for Sunday, August 30.
Daily Times gathered that the minister of aviation, Hadi Sirika, was in the flight flight that touched down at the airport one year after it was shut down for rehabiliation.
The federal government had shut down the Airport in August 2019 for repair and rehabilitation due to the bad runway and derelict facility.
Before the closure, there has been huge safety concern over the state of the runway as well as security concern.
The rehabilitation and reopening of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport has brought jubilation to many residents in the region as they praised President Muhammadu Buhari and the minister of aviation, Hadi Sirika, for the project.
Recall that following his meeting with southeast governors, President Buhari approved N10 billion for the upgrade of the airport.
He had said: “I have approved the sum of 10 billion Naira for an Intervention fund for the upgrade of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
”I have the assurance of the Minister of Aviation that the work will be done speedily and to the highest standards.
“Even as we have many items competing for our limited resources, we will continue to prioritize infrastructure investments in every part of the country. It is our responsibility to ensure Nigeria’s infrastructure is fixed. we will keep doing this.”


International air freight can be defined as anything an airline transports except packages, parcels, mail and passenger luggage. Moving goods in this manner is usually faster than using road, rail or sea but with speed comes a higher price tag. Be sure to shop around in order to obtain an air freight company within your budget. Fill in our quick form below to receive up to 5 free quotes from companies around the world.
Many companies choose to send goods via air because there is less risk of damage to the goods. Travelling by truck, for example, can occasionally deliver a bumpy ride.
In the late 1920s, airlines began moving cargo and companies quickly saw the benefits of speedy deliveries and reduced inventory needed on hand. The international air freight industry grew steadily and then finally erupted thanks to the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. The air cargo industry now brings in an estimated $50 billion each year, which accounts for 35% of all internationally sold merchandise.
The Canadian-based International Air Transport Association (IATA) represents over 200 passenger and cargo airlines. They set global standards for safety procedures, environmental regulations and financial systems. They also host a variety of events around the world throughout the year; their Annual General Meeting is always a hit with over 600 representatives in attendance. Freight and trucking companies, line haulers, brokers and air freight forwarders operating in the United States of America rely on the Air Freight Directory, or Air Cargo Inc. (ACI) Guide, as an essential tool. Air Cargo Inc. was actually the first airline dedicated exclusively to cargo. Another valuable resource in Australia is the Logistics Association of Australia (LAA) and in the USA is the Air Transport Association of America (ATA). Consignors, airlines and the government collaborate together to ameliorate standard operating procedures and as a result, the ATA acts like a library of data and statistics.
An international air freight company will most likely have a strong network of airports in order to ensure daily shipment schedules. They may work with the air carriers themselves, or utilize the services of a cargo agent who will process the consignments and receive a commission from the corresponding airline. These airlines might use the cargo hold, or belly, of a passenger airplane to transport the goods (these compartments are located in the undercarriage of the plane), whereas other airlines have planes specifically dedicated to air cargo. Such all-cargo aircraft are also called freighters and they are built for transporting unit loading devices (ULDs) like pallets or containers. Loose, or bulk, cargo an also be transported through the use of bulk cargo carts which enable the items to move from the plane to another destination, be it a terminal, truck, warehouse, etc. An adjustable belt loader is used during the transfer process to safely load or unload the goods. Bulk cargo is usually stored in the lower deck of a cargo plane, while containers and pallets are kept on the main deck. Experts in the business know that even if the plane has room for more, the maximum gross payload (total weight of the cargo, containers, pallets and their accessories) cannot be exceeded.


The Jandakot Airport is a significant transportation hub that can be found in the Jandakot neighborhood of Perth, in the state of Western Australia. The airport is responsible for more than 200,000 aircraft movements on an annual basis, making it the most active general aviation airfield in the country.
The Jandakot Airport began operations in the 1960s, and since that time, it has experienced rapid expansion, both in terms of its physical size and its level of significance. Today, a wide variety of enterprises and organizations call the airport their place of operation. These include flight schools, charter companies, aircraft maintenance companies, and aviation-related retail establishments.
The exceptional infrastructure and facilities of Jandakot Airport are one of the airport’s most notable characteristics. The airport features three asphalt runways that are able to accommodate a wide variety of aircraft, ranging from small single-engine planes to larger jets. The airport is also equipped to handle a wide range of passengers and cargo. There are a number of hangars and other structures located on the premises, and they serve a variety of functions, such as the storage of aircraft, the maintenance of aircraft, and the training of personnel.
Jandakot Airport is not only an essential center for the aviation industry, but it also plays a vital part in the town that it is located in. A number of community groups and organizations call the airport their home, and throughout the course of the year, the airport plays host to a wide variety of events and activities. This includes charity activities, airshows, and other public gatherings that assist in bringing people together and fostering a sense of community spirit.
In general, the Jandakot Airport is a significant and active component of the city of Perth, and it is an essential component of the aviation sector in the surrounding area. This airport is well worth a visit, whether you are a pilot, an aviation enthusiast, or simply someone who is interested in experiencing the excitement of flying for the first time.

The motifs on the lithographies come from the photo archive of the Apollo 11 mission of 1969. The photographs taken by the astronauts with Hasselblad sometimes do not meet scientific standards and have something amateurish about them. The lithographies were hand-drawn and printed by a special process using Lunar Regolith Simulant material (EAC-1A).
EAC-1A is a simulated lunar regolith, made from terrestrial materials and developed by ESA (European Space Agency).
I applied EAC-1A to the black printing plate and rubbed it in until tiny scratches appeared on the plate. In this way I drew the motifs on the printing plate. In addition, the prints are printed in the five different colors: red, orange, yellow, light green, and green. These colors correspond to the mini-glass particles contained in the lunar regolith.


BALI, INDONESIA – After 2 months, the predictable arrives late but it doesn’t fail, as most of the meteorologist forecast the Mt. Agung volcano has finally erupted leaving the Bali airport closed and roughly 7,000 domestic and international passengers stranded at Ngurah Rai, Bali’s main airport. However some passengers at Bali international airport seemed surprised with the news even after 2 months of the fuss in the media about the volcano. Passengers have also been affected by amnesia before heading to the airport, which prevented them from checking the news about the volcano.
Some of the passengers were trying to seek information from airport officials while others were sitting or sleeping on the floor.
The volcano ash cloud is dangerous to breathe and hazardous to aircraft engines, which makes so obvious that is not safe to fly, the same obvious reason would be boarding on a plane with an inexperienced pilot. Under the same circumstances, would passengers be happy to board on a plane knowing the pilot has no experience even if the plane was due to deppart?
Gede Suantika, an official at the volcanology and geological disaster mitigation agency, said: “The activity of Mount Agung has entered the magmatic eruption phase.
“It is still spewing ash at the moment, but we need to monitor and be cautious over the possibility of a strong, explosive eruption.”
On Sunday, 26th November, the Indonesia’s center for volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation raised its aviation notice from Orange to Red.
Maureen Steele and Jackie Calabretta were scheduled to fly on the same Garuda flight via Bali to Jakarta for an orangutan tour.
“We were on the plane, all strapped in ready for departure, when the cabin crew announced they needed to wait 10 minutes to get clearance,” Ms Steele told AAP at Sydney Airport.
“They told us they didn’t get clearance so we all had to get off again.”
Passengers should be grateful for the update from the cabin crew.


Kalpana Chawla (March 17, 1962 – February 1, 2003) was born in Karnal, India. She was the first Indian - American astronaut and first Indian woman in space. She first flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission specialist and primary robotic arm operator. In 2003, Kalpana Chawla was one of the seven crew members killed in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.
Kalpana Chawla completed her earlier schooling at Tagore Baal Niketan Sr. Sec. School, Karnal. She completed Bachelor of Engineering degree in Aeronautical Engineering at Punjab Engineering College at Chandigarh in 1982. She moved to the United States in 1982 and obtained a M.S. degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1984. Kalpana Chawla went on to earn a second M.S. degree in 1986 and a PhD in aerospace engineering in 1988 from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Later that year she began working at the NASA Ames Research Center as vice president of Overset Methods, Inc. where she did CFD research on Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing concepts. Kalpana Chawla held a Certificated Flight Instructor rating for airplanes, gliders and Commercial Pilot licenses for single and multi-engine airplanes, seaplanes and gliders.
Kalpana Chawla joined the NASA Astronaut Corps in March 1995 and was selected for her first flight in 1996. She spoke the following words while traveling in the weightlessness of space,"You are just your intelligence". She had traveled 10.67 million km, as many as 252 times around the Earth.
Her first space mission began on November 19, 1997 as part of the six-astronaut crew that flew the Space Shuttle Columbia flight STS-87. Kalpana Chawla was the first Indian-born woman and the second Indian person to fly in space, following cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma who flew in 1984 in a spacecraft. On her first mission, Chawla traveled over 10.4 million miles in 252 orbits of the earth, logging more than 372 hours in space. During STS-87, she was responsible for deploying the Spartan Satellite which malfunctioned, necessitating a spacewalk by Winston Scott and Takao Doi to capture the satellite. A five-month NASA investigation fully exonerated Kalpana Chawla by identifying errors in software interfaces and the defined procedures of flight crew and ground control.
After the completion of STS-87 post-flight activities, Chawla was assigned to technical positions in the astronaut office to work on the space station, her performance in which was recognized with a special award from her peers.
In 2000 she was selected for her second flight as part of the crew of STS-107. This mission was repeatedly delayed due to scheduling conflicts and technical problems such as the July 2002 discovery of cracks in the shuttle engine flow liners. On January 16, 2003, Chawla finally returned to space aboard Columbia on the ill-fated STS-107 mission. Chawla's responsibilities included the microgravity experiments, for which the crew conducted nearly 80 experiments studying earth and space science, advanced technology development, and astronaut health and safety.
We lost Kalpana Chawla in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster which occurred on February 1, 2003, when the Space Shuttle disintegrated over Texas during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, with the loss of all seven crew members, shortly before it was scheduled to conclude its 28th mission, STS-107.

happier than when I’m just out and about,
walking throughout any of our operations,
