Race To Save Hubble
"Veteran astronaut Scott Altman will command the final space shuttle mission to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. During the 11-day mission's five spacewalks, astronauts will install two new instruments, repair two inactive ones and perform the component replacements that will keep the telescope functioning into at least 2014. If the mission is a success, the Hubble will be 90 times more powerful."

The scientific study of all celestial objects, such as planets, stars, and galaxies, as well as everything that occurs outside of the Earth’s atmosphere is called Astronomy. One major question presented by astronomy is ‘How was the universe formed and how has it changed since its formation?’ This question and others are examined through a number of scientific fields and processes, such as evolution, physics, and chemistry.
Astronomy is widely regarded as one of the oldest scientific fields of study. Civilizations from ancient times observed the night sky and documented what they saw. Artifacts that have been uncovered by archaeologists suggest early astronomy recordings of stars and other observations seen in the sky. Early people used the stars to measure time in the long-term by formulating calendars. Not only were the stars used to make observations and to measure time, but some early civilizations used stars as a navigational tool, especially when sailing through the ocean.
Today, astronomy is a vital tool for the further development of space astronomy exploration. Exploration of outer space is done by various methods, such as manned spacecraft flights and remotely-controlled robotics. Both space astronomy and space exploration are professions which complement each other, while providing useful information to the development of astronomy space and relying on each other’s advancements. Without space exploration, images from the Hubble Space Telescope would not be possible. At the same time, without images from the Hubble Space Telescope, dreams and planning of deep space exploration would not be feasible.
Technology has always paved the way for advancements in space exploration and astronomy. Space exploration would not be possible if it wasn’t for the invention of liquid-fueled rocket engines and of course, the telescope used for astronomy. Space exploration is continued due to many reasons, such as advancing scientific knowledge, as a means of united nations together, for military and strategic advantages, and for the preservation of humanity’s future.
Space astronomy and exploration has been historically used as a proxy for the rivalries that were fueled during the Cold War. The term, “Space Race” was often used to describe the Soviet Union and United States’ entry into space exploration. The Soviet Union was the first nation to put a man in space to orbit the Earth, which was called Sputnik 1. The United States, however, was the first nation to put a man on the moon, using the spacecraft Apollo 11.
While most space exploration were performed by governmental-funded agencies, such as NASA, the future of space exploration may turn out to be quite different. There are already plans of private ventures of spaceflight companies. There are even incentives given for privately-funded entities to place a robot on the moon successfully, such as in the case of the Google Lunar X-Prize. This is a contest that will award a sum of $20 million to the first team to perform this task.


The collision involved an Iridium commercial satellite, which was launched in 1997, and a Russian satellite launched in 1993 and believed to be nonfunctioning. The Russian satellite was out of control, Matney said.
The article goes on to explain that at the beginning of 2009 there were roughly 17,000 pieces of man-made debris orbiting Earth. The items, at least 4 inches in size, are being tracked by the U.S. Space Surveillance Network, which is operated by the military. (Read more about space junk here.)
Want to learn more about space junk? You can play Space Junk - the game!
There's lots of junk floating in orbit about the Earth! 11 examples can be found in this game. See if you can capture them all by clicking on them as they pass by, but be careful not to capture too many things that aren't junk--if you get three strikes, you'll have to start over!
The game uses actual reported junk. For example, in 1984, a screwdriver was dropped during an American spacewalk and it became space junk for a while, until it was burned up in earth's atmosphere!


In June 1949, the FAA removed the requirement to perform spins during private pilot checkrides. … There you will learn that a spin is really an aggravated (uncoordinated) stalled condition that results in the airplane falling while rotating (spiraling) about a vertical axis.

Are parachutes required for spins?
Parachutes are required by § 91.307(c) for maneuvers exceeding 60 degrees of bank or 30 degrees nose-up or nose-down attitude, unless an exception applies.
Why do stunt planes smoke?
In jets, the smoke oil system works with a fuel pump which transport the liquid from its tank to nozzles secured to the exhaust port. As the liquid oil comes into contact with the heated exhaust from the airplane, the oil burns, emitting its highly visible smoke.
What is the best aerobatic plane in the world?
The Top 5 Aerobatic Aircraft (and Why)

Can a private pilot do aerobatics?
Aerobatics is pretty much the most extreme sport there is. … If you are interested learning to fly aerobatics the first thing to do would be to learn how to fly an aircraft and then get an aerobatic rating with either a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).
Which wing is more stalled in a spin?
The “more stalled” wing is on the inside of the spin, it flies at a higher angle-of-attack, and it generates less lift than the outside wing. Since your high wing generates more lift than the low wing, it rolls your aircraft into the spin.
Is a Cessna 172 certified for spins?
The Cessna 172 is used a lot for training and is approved for spins when operated in the Utility Category. … The later model 172s will spin, and are approved, but they just don’t spin as nicely as the old ones.
What bank angle is considered aerobatic?
Section 51 also requires the use of parachutes, and defines aerobatics as banks over 60o, pitch attitudes over 30o and prohibits carrying passengers. Aerobatics vary by aircraft type.
What is a Svfr clearance?
John: “A Special VFR Clearance is an ATC authorization for a VFR aircraft to operate in weather that is less than the basic VFR minima. … On those days when there is a stubborn 900 foot cloud deck over the airport but you can see into the next county, a SVFR clearance can let you fly towards better weather.
What are basic VFR minimums?
Basic VFR Weather Minimums
cloud ceiling at least 1,000 feet AGL; and. ground visibility at least 3 statute miles (usually measured by ATC but, if not available, flight visibility at least 3 statute miles as estimated by the pilot).
What is the difference between acrobatics and aerobatics?
“Aerobatic” refers specifically to flight, and “acrobatic” refers specifically to feats of the human body, so referring to an aircraft as performing acrobatics is wrong. That said, the word “aerobatic” is derived from “aero-acrobatics” and sounds nearly identical, so it’s an understandable and relatively common error.
How much do aerobatic pilots make?
Aerobatic pilots, or stunt pilots, perform in aerial shows, compete with other aerobatic pilots, and train pilots in aerobatic flight. The pay of stunt pilots varies tremendously, but the median earnings of this job pay between $50,000 and $70,000.
What is the lowest altitude permitted for acrobatic flight?
No person may operate an aircraft in acrobatic flight when
less than 2,500 feet AGL.
Is RV 12 aerobatic?
The RV-12 is a real airplane. … It’s no high-performance aerobatic airplane, but flying through various basic maneuvers makes you want to do them over and over again just because it’s such fun. The RV-12 is able to get a lot of performance from its 100 horsepower, liquid cooled Rotax engine.
How much does an extra 330 cost?
Current Price $ 295,000 U.S.
How fast is the stunt plane in jailbreak?
This vehicle is supposedly based on the Eurofighter Typhoon or Dassault Rafale. Players debate which aircraft the Jet is based off, as the 2 fighter jets are incredibly similar. In real life, the Eurofighter Typhoon has a top speed of 1550mph (2495km/h), which is about Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound).
How do I turn on smoke in War Thunder?
Go to options, controls, full aircraft control, select (aerobatics smoke) assign preferred control.
What is the white thing that comes out of a plane?
Jets leave white trails, or contrails, in their wakes for the same reason you can sometimes see your breath. The hot, humid exhaust from jet engines mixes with the atmosphere, which at high altitude is of much lower vapor pressure and temperature than the exhaust gas.
How do planes create smoke?
How does it work? The smoke is produced by pumping biodegradable, paraffin-based oil directly onto the hot exhaust nozzles (pistons engines) or exhaust fumes (jet engines) of the aircraft where the oil is instantly vaporized into thick smoke.

SULAIMANI (ESTA) — The spokesman to Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan Thursday said the process of the U.S. approving the sale of F-16 fighter jets to NATO member Turkey was going well and could be completed within a couple of months.
CNN Turk cited spokesman Ibrahim Kalin as saying in an interview with the broadcaster evening that the administration of President Joe Biden was making sincere efforts on the issue.
“It’s not very easy to give a clear forecast but it appears there is a high probability of the process being completed in the next month or two,” Kalin was quoted as saying when asked if the United States would sell F-16s to Turkey.
“When this happens the F-16 problem, both the modernization and the purchase of new F-16s, will be resolved.”
Turkey made a request to the United States in October 2021 to buy 40 Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) F-16 fighters and nearly 80 modernization kits for its existing warplanes to update its air force after the purchase of F-35s fell through.
However, sentiment toward Turkey in the U.S. Congress has turned sour over the past few years, according to Reuters, since Ankara acquired Russian-made defense missile systems, triggering U.S. sanctions and Turkey’s removal from the F-35 fighter jet program.

Target Mars at Brunel University
On Monday 1st October 2018, five Year 9 students attended the Target Mars event at Brunel University, with the aim to develop an understanding of how to survive on Mars and life on board the International Space Station, all whilst competing against other schools through a range of science activities.
After solving several complex puzzles and conducting some intense spacethemed experiments. Our group was assessed and scored against other teams from other schools.
Our team won the competition. Overall, Uxbridge High School students were noted by the lecturers as the most accurate and supportive team, working well under pressure.
Well done to the students who participated!


As a long-time resident of NW Washington, DC, I have sadly noticed a vastly increased number of helicopter flights over the neighborhood.
Caveat: my observation is purely personal, not based on scientific research.
I've of course called all the possibly "responsible" agencies for the unbearable noise produced by these 20th-century flying machines (mechanical super-bugs carrying a handful of [I assume] privileged people) during all-too-many hours of the day, asking myself why they're flying so noisily over our (supposedly peaceful) homes, but have gotten no satisfactory answer from any of them.
The most responsible response (but still not an answer to the issue) came from the Office of the Inspector General, FAA (1-800-424-9071). The FAA is supposed to have an answer to my helicopter-noise query by 3/23, if I understood the polite person I talked to there correctly. FYI, my helicopter-noise "complaint" to the FAA has been filed under DOT 1 60 302 15.
If you are experiencing the same helicopter noise-bombardment syndrome, you might wish to call the above no. (1-800-424-9071), citing the DOT no. also mentioned above (DOT 1 60 302 15).
Or, you can buy ear plugs. But they don't work very well. :)

Strategic Airpower Elements in Interwar German Air Force Doctrine
Muscha, William R.
Germany reestablished its air force during the last half of the interwar period of 1919 to1939, a period in which airpower theorists attempted to merge the new technology of aviation with traditional roles of the military. The Royal Air Force adopted the offensive use of airpower to attack enemy sources power as its primary mission and focused on defeating the enemy nation. Great Britain’s national strategic situation, its lessons from World War I, and its air leadership all contributed toward t


The "Mark 32 Chock" is designed for large aircraft, e.g. Boeing 737 or Airbus A320, and aviation equipment. The product is made of very durable, lightweight, polyurethane. The material is resistant to extreme weather conditions, oils, propellants, as well as a high tear and abrasion resistance. Thanks to the material properties, the chock will never rot, crack or splint. Tests have shown that Mark 32 Aircraft Chock takes more wheel force than conventional rubber chock. Mark 32 Chock has an innovative aluminium handle, which generates a lever and thus an increased user-friendliness. A reflex is placed on the outermost part of the handle in order to further visualize the chock if it would be placed behind a wheel. Thanks to the shape of the chock in combination with the handle, it is easy to place at the right place. The material is 100% recyclable.

Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) is One Step Closer to Tracking Next Generation Threats Right Now!
When it comes to cutting edge technology, The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) looks to Lockheed Martin’s Long-Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) to defend against new and evolving threats to the United States and its allies. This system when completed will be the most advanced radar system in the world and will provide 24/7 365 long range ability to track, identify and help counter emerging threats and give decision makers the right information at the right time to decisively take action and defend the US.
‘It is being able to consult with projects like this that makes our jobs worth a life’s work” said Bob Hanson of Nationwide Consultants LLC, “from the smallest contributing contractor to the CEO of Lockheed, this project is worldwide priority”.
Clear Air Force Station in Alaska has about the most rugged conditions and frigid temperatures in Alaska and that is where Lockheed Martin and MDA teams just installed the radar’s first array, making another milestone in LRDR’s progress. “You want cold? Go to Clear for a few months” Bob said. These mighty arrays, measuring a combined 60 feet high and 60 feet wide, pack in a lot of sensitivity that enables more accurate discrimination over longer distances. Mot only is the system designed to address today’s threats, but it is also poised to adapt to new threats – like hypersonic threats – without hardware design changes.
The next challenge is finishing up installation of the second array face along with testing the remaining 10% of the stated requirements (SOW).
“LRDR is a crucial addition to the U.S. Missile Defense System portfolio of sensors for Homeland Defense,” said Chandra Marshall, program director, Lockheed Martin Missile Defense& Space Surveillance. “LRDR is a software defined radar that provides enhanced discrimination, improved reaction time, higher kill probability, highest operational availability and is scalable with an open architecture ensuring that this radar will continue to outpace current and emerging threats for decades to come.”

In Uncertain Times, LRDR Brings Unparalleled Capabilities
By utilizing LRDR’s unique polarization approach to accurately identify threats in a dense operating space, it will help preserve the inventory of ground-based interceptors. Lockheed Martin engineers designed this next generation technology to be:
- Adaptable to Future Threats: The radar can be scaled and extended to adapt to new threat sets without changing the hardware design.
- Efficient and reliable: Scalable and modular gallium nitride based “subarray” radar building blocks provide advanced performance and increased efficiency and reliability.
- Round the Clock Eyes on the Skies: LRDR’s unique maintain -while-operate capability provides very high operational availability and enables continuous operation.

Next Generation of Radars Under Construction
“Lockheed Martin’s solid-state radar technology is the building block for the next generation of radars,” says Dr. Rob Smith, Vice President of Radar and Sensor Systems at Lockheed Martin. “The Technology provides our warfighters, as well as our allies, with crucial performance capabilities and mission flexibility.”
Lockheed Martin built a Solid State Radar Integration Site at its campus in Moorestown New Jersey as part of its investment into the advancement of solid state radar (SSR) which offers powerful capabilities to detect, tract and engage sophisticated air and missile threats – including the very complicated task of identifying and countering lethal objects present in enemy ballistic missiles. Lockheed Martin utilized this asset to test about 90% of the program requirements over the last year. This comprehensive testing of the radar proves the maturity of the LRDR product and reduces the timeline required to not only field test LRDR but any future radars that leverage this technology.

A Look at the World’s Most Demanding Missions
Thanks to Lockheed Martin we will meet those maritime and ground-based missions with the next generation of advanced radar technology. It was designated SPY-7(v)1 by the U.S. Government in November if 2019 and it has a jump start on production.
“By using LRDR’s mature technology as the building block for SPY-7, we have been able to accelerate production of the radar. For example, we were able to order long lead material for production just a few months after program award. Normally that process would not begin for at least a year or tow after contract award,” says Marshall. “Most importantly, the use of our SSR technology across multiple platforms allowed us to reduce the dost of our radar by ten percent.”
“Everyone, engineers, logistics, technicians, consultants and contractors know their place at Lockheed Martin, like a well oiled machine that has been running for almost a century,” said Bob Hanson of Nationwide Consulting LLC “It is always an honor to be involved here, this project was so smooth, what a successful outcome for the United States of America.”

Lockheed Martin has been awarded 24 solid state radars, including LRDR, representing a total of 91 antennas of varying sizes and collectively composed of over 15,000 subarrays. These radars provide several times the performance of previous SPY-1 radars and can engage multiple threads simultaneously with the latest proven interceptors. The total number of subarray suites produced on LRDR is equivalent to production of eight Agis SPY-1D radar sets.
Why Lockheed Martin’s SSR is the World’s Most Versatile Radar:
- Polarization Diversity: Provides better fire control tracking, target classification, clutter suppression and electromagnetic environment mitigation.
- Most Efficient Architecture: Highest radar sensitivity for a given size, weight and power.
- High Operational Availability: Innovative operate-while -maintain architecture enables continuous 24/7 operation with no radar downtime for maintenance.
- Digital Beamformer: Robust digital beamformer enables efficient use of radar resources over a large scan volume and improved tracking of advanced threats.
When safety and security depend on it, Lockheed Martin’s trusted solid state radars enable early awareness and clear information for decisive response to today’s threats…and tomorrow’s.

Yes I did it 🙂 I bought a drone. When this is posted, I will have had it for quite a while already, but I still have not flown it quite as much so I can not show you a lot. I will however share some of my first drone photos with you here. Once it gets less windy outdoors, and I have some more time I will try to fly the drone some more and also share my progress here.
What my main goal was for getting a drone, was to gain a new perspective. That was also the thing that I kept in mind most when flying it. I like to find a subject or a pattern from above and then take the photo straight down. That is the most sophisticated thing I can say about it, but I am mostly just trying things and some work out while others do not. Hopefully in a couple of months I can come up with more useful tips for you guys.


The China Manned Space Agency gave no details on what the reasons were, and said only that a new launch time would be “determined later,” the Xinhua News Agency reported.
The blast-off was to have taken place just days after China landed a rover on Mars, as it hustles ahead with its extraterrestrial ambitions.
Beijing has pumped billions into its space programme in a bid to make up ground on pioneers Russia and the United States, with ambitious projects in Earth orbit and the landing of uncrewed craft on the Moon and Mars.
But it was heavily reprimanded by the United States and many experts for a potentially dangerous breach of space etiquette for letting a massive rocket segment free-fall to Earth earlier this month after launching the core module of China’s space station.
In the now-delayed mission, the Tianzhou-2 cargo craft was to have blasted off on a 14-tonne Long March 7 rocket, and had been expected to carry essentials such as food and space suits to the core module.
The space station — named Tiangong, meaning “heavenly palace” — will need around 10 missions in total to complete assembly in orbit.
Hao Chun, director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, said the construction of the space station has entered a “critical stage”.
It is expected to remain in low Earth orbit for up to 15 years.
With the possible retirement of the International Space Station after 2028, China’s could become the only human outpost in Earth orbit.
Although Chinese authorities have said they are open to foreign collaboration on their space station, the scope of that cooperation is as yet unclear.
But the European Space Agency has already sent astronauts to China to train for work inside Tiangong when it is ready.
The latest cargo launch was to have come days after China landed its Zhurong rover on Mars, becoming only the third nation to successfully land a craft on the red planet.
The rover is expected to soon start studying Martian geology, spending around three months taking photos and harvesting data from a vast northern lava plain.


An F/A-18C Hornet assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 312 maneuvers on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman on March 8 in the Gulf of Oman. If the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts continue, flight hours will decline about 10 percent a year, according to the deputy Marine Corps commandant for aviation. (MC3 Karl Anderson/Navy)
- Filed Under
More than 70 percent of the Marine Corps’ aviation fleet will not meet combat readiness standards by 2021 if sequestration — the automatic, across-the-board budget cuts — remains in place, the service’s aviation chief warned lawmakers today.
Service leaders estimate that only 27 to 30 percent of the Corps’ aviation fleet will be at “ready to go to war” status seven years from now, according to Lt. Gen. Robert Schmidle, deputy commandant for aviation.
The federal cost-cutting measure reduces flight hours by roughly 10 percent every year. Today, aviation combat readiness stands at about 65 percent, Schmidle told a House Armed Services subcommittee. By 2017, that figure will be below 50 percent, he predicted.
“When we take the flight hours out, we don’t have the hours to fly the airplanes to train the pilots and the readiness continues to go down,” the three-star said.
Schmidle said the Marine Corps’ estimates were based on “strict arithmetic.”
“We took the readiness of the fleet today and we said, if we are sequestered that means we will lose 10 percent a year of our flight time. So if you lose 10 percent of your flight hours across the board every year, what happens in five, six, seven, eight years?” he told Marine Corps Times after the hearing. “You’ve got that many fewer flight hours to fly in order to be able to train the pilots and train the air crews, etc.”
However, “that assumes that the fleet is the same size it is today,” Schmidle said. “It’s assuming that we have to take those hours out of everybody, but if we get relief, and we get extra money for flight hours then, of course, we can begin alleviate that.”
If the service does manage to get some kind of relief from the sequester, “then you would not see those numbers go down,” Schmidle said.


India’s Chandrayaan-3 Touches Down on Moon’s South Pole
After a thrilling 40-day journey from the Sathish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Chandrayaan-3, India’s ambitious lunar mission, has landed on the moon’s south pole.
The Vikram lander, which met with a mishap during the Chandrayaan-2 mission, has now successfully reached its target on the lunar surface on the South pole.
The successful landing has not just demonstrated the prowess of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) but also placed India among the top 4 nations capable of achieving a soft lunar landing. Until now, only Russia, China, and the United States held this esteemed accomplishment.
ISRO confirmed the landing and mentioned their plan to activate Chandrayaan-3’s automatic landing sequence, employing a specialized algorithm for precise touchdown.
The spacecraft is slated to remain operational for two weeks, undertaking various experiments. One significant task is the spectrometer analysis, which aims to understand the mineral composition of the moon’s surface.
SpaceTec Partners’ Managing Director, Carla Filotico, emphasized the importance of this mission, noting that landing on the moon’s south pole could provide insights into the presence of water ice. This data is crucial for advancing our understanding of the moon’s geology.
The primary mission objective is to showcase ISRO‘s proficiency in achieving a controlled landing on the moon. Notably, an attempt for a similar landing with Chandrayaan-2 in 2019 was unsuccessful.
In a notable event coinciding with Chandrayaan-3’s journey, Russia’s space agency also targeted the moon’s south pole region.
India’s space legacy traces back to visionary Vikram Sarabhai, after whom the Vikram lander is named. In the upcoming days, Chandrayaan-3‘s rover will perform an on-site chemical analysis of the lunar surface, continuing India’s exploration of our celestial neighbor.

An Airbus plane with 99 on board crashed into a residential area of the Pakistani city of Karachi on Friday (May 22) while on approach to the airport, with at least one passenger surviving but many others feared dead, officials said.
Seemin Jamali, executive director at the nearby Jinnah Hospital, said at least eight dead bodies and six injured people had been brought in. There were no estimates of casualties on the ground in the area where the plane crashed.
Smoke billowed from the scene where the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight came down, some roofs had caved in, and debris lay scattered in streets as ambulances rushed through chaotic crowds.
At least one passenger on fight PK 8303, a banker, survived and spoke to officials in hospital, provincial government spokesman Abdur Rashid Channa said.
The CEO of Pakistan International Airlines on Friday confirmed that the last message the airline had received from the pilot was to report a technical problem.
The Airbus A320 was flying from the eastern city of Lahore to Karachi in the south just as Pakistan was resuming domestic flights in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the aircraft tracking website FlightRadar24.
The pilot told air traffic controllers the plane had lost engine power, according to liveatc.net, which has released aircraft recordings in the past.

The Orlando Buzzards are a non-profit organization of RC (radio control) soaring enthusiasts established for the enjoyment of soaring by its members.The members participate in both competition and sport flying of model sailplanes. Members build and fly gliders of all sizes – ranging from as small as 24 inch wingspan to some over 16 feet.
These soaring machines are usually launched up to 600 feet into the air with an electric winch, or an electric motor mounted in the nose, to begin soaring flight. At that point the pilot steers the airplane to where he believes there are rising currents of air to keep his model aloft.
Sometimes flights can last for over an hour and in good conditions even a beginner can keep his sailplane airborne for a long time. The pastime is challenging but always fun and regular contests are conducted for the enjoyment of the members and visitors. Most Saturday mornings members can be found at the local flying field flying and trimming their models.

Air Force has had a pretty solid run with their uniforms in recent years, which is no easy feat as the evidence suggests. This season the Falcons will be wearing one of the coolest alternate uniforms we have seen in quite some time with a throwback to the classic era of Air Force fighter jets. After a tease with the first look at the helmets, Air Force showed off the full uniform in all its splendor.
— Air Force Football (@AFFootball) August 19, 2016
There is a definite steel-vibe to the uniform from head to toe. Air Force looks like a fighter jet with the signature and classic shark tooth design on the helmets, which could be seen on early fighter jets…
Air Force does abandon their traditional blue and white, and that is typically a no-no in my uniform rule book, especially when it is to go with the gimmicky and trendy black and/or gray look. But I tend to give service academies a pass, because they so often have the best thought-out alternate uniform designs. And this one just feels like an Air Force uniform. At first glance, I felt the American flag should remain red, white and blue, but it is customary for the flag to be subdued in color on military uniforms so this is actually a nice touch for Air Force’s uniform. The right shoulder features an Air Force patch instead of the flag.
Just for the heck of it, let’s have a closer look at that fantastic helmet design.

Rocco A. Petrone graduated from the United States Military Academy and was commissioned an Ordnance officer in 1946.
After serving in maintenance units for three years in Germany, the Army sent him to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He earned a masters degree in mechanical engineering from MIT in 1951 and was well on his way to completing a doctorate when the Army transferred him to Redstone Arsenal in 1952 to join the Ordnance Corps' Redstone Missile Program. While assigned to the Arsenal, he participated in the development of the Redstone, the nation's first ballistic missile and was a member of the Missile Firing Laboratory when the first Redstone launch took place at Cape Canaveral in August 1953. Thus, began Petrone's long association with America's missile development program, first with the Ordnance Corps and then with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
From 1956 to 1960, he served on the Army General Staff where he worked closely with the Office of the Chief of Ordnance to develop maintenance support packages for the emerging family of Army rockets and guided missiles. Afterwards, the Army agreed to loan him to NASA at Cape Kennedy as the Saturn project officer, and in 1961, he was assigned as the Apollo Program Manager. While on loan to NASA, he was involved in the first 4 Saturn launches and was responsible for the planning, construction, and activation of the launch facilities for the Apollo Program.
In 1966, he retired from the Army as a lieutenant colonel and joined the civilian workforce at NASA as the Director of Launch Operations. His launch team was responsible for the checkout and launching of all space vehicles, to include the famous Apollo 11, the first lunar landing. Subsequently, he was promoted to Director of the Apollo Program in Washington, DC, where he was responsible for the overall direction and management of the remaining Apollo launches, and then assigned as Program Director for the Joint US/Soviet Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. In recognition of his contributions to the nation, Rollins College awarded him an honorary Doctorate of Science in 1969.
In 1973, NASA appointed him as the Director of the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and shortly thereafter as the Associate Administrator at NASA Headquarters. In this position, he was the third-ranking executive in NASA and responsible for all of NASA's research and development programs.
When he left NASA in 1975, he was appointed President and Chief Executive of the non-profit National Center for Resource Recovery, dedicated to the recovery of materials and energy from solid waste.

25 PARTICIPANTS engage in an
experiential flight simulator
The goal of this experience was to collect data on the participants’ emotions, reactions to simulation flying in an immersive environment, and measure the effectiveness of immersion of the physical space in which it took place in. The experience was held the week of the Thinking Creatively Conference at Kean University.
TOTAL COST: $476.31
Participants entered the flight simulator and were tasked with a mission to complete to the best of their ability. Once the mission was completed, they were asked several questions about how they were feeling regarding the physical space, the music, and several other elements. The focus of the data was to see if a sense of confidence in flying an airplane could be replicated in a simulator instead of a real aircraft.
The only elements that were not custom-built were the computer flight controls and the simulator software. However, the mission in the simulator was specifically designed and programed for this experience.


Ever since humans were first able to snap a picture of the Earth from space, they have always longed to capture more interesting and beautiful images of the Earth. There are many satellites that are capturing different angles of the Earth and the International Space Station is full of astronauts that get to see the Earth from a different view every day.
Earth has always been a fascinating world to look at because it is the only planet in the solar system that we know of that can support life such as us and it is a magnificent object to look at in the black abyss. Humans have been going to space ever since the 1960s and space travel today is starting to become a normal thing that civilians will be able to participate in. SpaceX and Virgin Galatic have set off to make space travel possible for you and me, we could be able to see the Earth from space in the near future.
If you are fascinated by the different scenes of Earth from space and want to learn a bit more about the history of space travel and our planet, then you should check out these 50 amazing photos of Earth from space which will leave you bewildered.


In seconds, the explosive-laden drones reached their target
China conducted a test launch of what has been called a suicide drone swarm from an armored fighting vehicle.
A video of the test released this week by outlets such as RT News and The Drive shows the Dongfeng Warrior three-axis combat vehicle with the explosive material.
The containers with the UAVs are located in a special protected compartment that is raised before launch.
In a matter of seconds, some 48 armed drones are deployed from the rear of the four-wheeled military transport.
The launch seeks to test “how the threat of a drone swarm, in general, is becoming increasingly real and will present increasingly serious challenges for armed forces around the world in future conflicts.”
The system, developed by gunsmiths from China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), performs reconnaissance and attack missions on ground targets.
According to the RT report, last year military exercises of this type were held in Tibet. During the maneuvers, the work of a squad of 12 drones was demonstrated.


#About the Design
On November 14, 1969, Apollo 12 was struck by lightning 36 seconds after liftoff. This caused a power surge, and instruments on the spacecraft began to malfunction. All telemetry was garbled. A decision to abort the mission was imminent. However NASA engineer, John Aaron, flight controller for the mission realized he had seen the on-screen error pattern before. He calmly suggested that the crew “try SCE to AUX”. This immediately fixed the problem. Apollo 12 was able to continue to the moon, and John Aaron’s calm response has become one for the ages.
This t-shirt captures Aaron’s response in the style of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” campaign used on posters in Great Britain during WWII. If you have a geeky friend, spouse, or parent who loves space exploration, this shirt will make the perfect gift.

Unleavened Bread Bible Study
Hidden Manna For the End Times
Michael Weber - 10/12/2008
In a dream, I was watching a red airplane trying to take off. This plane could not get off the ground; it had two pilots. (After meditating on the dream, I realized they were Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.) They tried towing the plane behind a vehicle to get it in the air but nothing was working. It would get up in the air slightly, then fall back down. Finally, the plane bounced up into the air and started spinning violently. The wing fell off and the plane crashed to the ground. The two pilots looked hurt but I wasn't sure if they were killed or just injured.
I saw that the red plane is debt and the financial system, which is spinning out of control and no matter what efforts are done to get it up in the air it won't work.

Spy Drone Stalks Female Reporter [Video]
This flying spherical spy drone being developed my the Japanese Self Defense Force seems to have a crush on this lady reporter, and it’s not too subtle about it. The following video is a pretty impressive demo of what this little stalker can do.
Dubbed the “Spherical Flight Vehicle”, this drone has been in development for a year and a half. It can fly for 8 minutes at a time and can reach speeds of up to 60km/h. This current demo is remote controlled but an autonomous flight system is being developed. So we can blame the stalking on the guy piloting the thing.

Cable Cutters Kit
Ultimate protection for your pilot and helicopter against wire strikes in the field.
The Cable Cutters kit provides a means of protecting the helicopter during a wire strike by providing the capability to cut a cable or wire before catastrophic damage occurs. The kit is designed to reduce the possibility of a cable or wire entering the cockpit and to reduce the chance of flight control damage. Similar cable/wire cutting devices have proven to be effective even during multiple wire strikes. The kit incorporates both an upper and lower cutter and each cutter is designed with high strength cutting blades. The Apical cutter design was tested to verify the capability to cut a cable having a 14,000 lb. tensile strength. The kits are configured for Bell mediums with standard or high landing gear. An optional GPS Antenna Mount Kit is also available. Apical manufactures cable cutter kits for the Bell 206/407, Bell 204/205/212, Bell 214/412 as well as the EC135/145, and AS350.

Mission X is a peculiar proposal for a manned flight to Mars, designed to be, on the one side, cost-effective and on the other, possible with the existing technology. In the course of time, more and more of Mars will be open to human exploration as multiple habitat modules will be sent to the same site and linked together allowing for the beginning of a permanent human settlement on the Red Planet. What will the path to that successful endeavour look like, how many astronauts and rockets will be launched, and how long will it last?


The timely response from Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) in supporting the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) by providing jet parts has enabled the NAF sustain its operations against the Boko Haram insurgents.
This first of its kind effort on our part has attracted the global audience as we were featured on CNN as the first Nigerian car maker to make jet parts and take NAF to the sky in fighter jets.
To further solidify this patriotic act and ensure the continuous supply of the fighter jet parts to NAF, the Chief of Air Force ably represented by Air Vice Marshal, J. M. Gbum and other top ranking Air Force Officials visited our Nnewi facility yesterday (on the 29th of March, 2016) to finalize the contract of supplying fighter jet parts to NAF.
The leader of the team, Air Vice Marshal, J. M. Gbum said IVM passed the test of assisting in manufacturing brake assemblage haulage for activation of grounded aircraft which would in turn step up operation in the northeast against Boko Haram. According to him, the collaboration will also encourage indigenous manufacturing.
The revisit to the facility, culminated with a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between IVM and NAF.
The agreement is aimed at ensuring adequate maintenance of the Air Force’s air fleet. With the agreement, the Nigerian Air Force hopes to surmount the challenge of searching for spare parts in several countries around the world which had led to the grounding of many of its aircraft.
With this finalized arrangement, we are not only conquering the ground with our automobile brands, we are also helping NAF to conquer the air and defeat Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria.


The Soyuz-1 more than crashed in the ground the 340 km/h, killing Vladimir Komarov immediately (SPACEFACTS, 2010). It did not have possibility of the Soviet Union to keep tragedy of the Soyuz-1 in secret, as was habit of the Communists, for some reasons. As the launching happened as part of the commemorations for the anniversary of Lnin, the flight was very ovacionado in the Soviet press and it would not have as to deny the death of the cosmonaut to the end of the mission. Moreover, for being the first flight of new espaonave, it had interest in the Ocidente even though on as it would be the course of the mission. The messages of Komarov to the Land informing on the problems with the ship had been caught in diverse countries. 2.3.1.
Consequncias After the tragedy of the Soyuz-1 the Soyuz-2, that does not take off, passed for a minute inspection and uncovered that the same defect in the parachute of the first ship also existed in this (SPACEFACTS, 2010). Thus, if the Soyuz-2 had taken off, the Soviet Union would have lost one, but four not only cosmonauts. It can be affirmed then that the tragedy of a mission saved another crew of the certain death. With the disaster of the Soyuz-1 the Soviets had had of to redesign its ships and to carry through an intense inquiry. This fact made with that eighteen months without carrying through manned space flights passed more. Added to the explosion of the gigantic N-1 rocket, in July of 1969, this fact made with that the Soviets were launched still more stop backwards in the Space Race, losing any possibility to arrive at the Moon before the United States (WHITE, 2003). 2.4. SOYUZ-11 In April of 1970 the Soviet Union launched to the space the first space station of History, the Saliut-1.

The objective of the project Communicating Cabin is to improve comfort and efficiency of a modern aircraft cabin. The overall consideration of cabin procedures, new synergistic applications, communication practices, and new lighting scenarios shall result in increased cabin systems reliability and availability.
Besides the cabin procedures the corresponding ramp operations have to be considered as well. In the subproject "Digital ramp agent" the Institute of Aircraft Cabin Systems specifies physical processes and information exchange at the interface between cabin and ramp. As a result the specification is an executable model, which will be realized by using a standardized modelling language. This model will be used to define a technological concept. Next, an implementation for chosen areas will be realized. A validation of the model will be done in a field test. For this purpose rapid prototyping procedures will be used, which enable the integration of real hardware components of innovative information and communication systems into the model.
