The Rector, Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, (NCAT), Mohammed Abdulsalam, on Wednesday revealed that the country currently has over 300 unemployed young pilots who have yet to secure the necessary experience to gain employment in the industry.
Speaking with newsmen in Zaria, Kaduna state, Mr Abdulsalam, however, said that the spate of unemployment of young pilots was not peculiar to Nigeria alone.
“The issue of unemployment of pilots is not common to Nigeria.
“As you know, NCAT is a council member of Association of African Approved Training Organisation, AAATO.
“We hold two council meetings a year and at every meeting, we discuss pilots’ unemployment. Some countries have different requirements for pilots.
“In a lot of these countries, you need to have certain requirements or experience as a pilot before you can fly in the airline industry.
“For instance, in the United States, you need to have a minimum of 1,500 hours as a pilot before you can fly and join the likes of United and American Airlines and others,” he said.
Mr Abdulsalam noted that when pilots graduated from the training school, they were expected to join commuter airlines before going into general aviation.
The rector said that some of them stayed to work in the flying school as instructors and build their experience to get the required hours before they are qualified to get the required hours to work in airline industry.
He said the same thing applied to South Africa, in which the pilot needed to have the same number of flying hours.
He said that unfortunately Nigeria did not have the qualified requirements but the airlines on their own might had certain requirements based on their own procedures and manuals.
“The airlines may have the need for a certain experience for their brands of aircraft for insurance purposes before they can employ their pilots.
“From time, the practice has always been that when they finish from school, they will be qualified to fly the type of aircraft that we are flying here.
“So, when they go to look for work, as long as it is the same aircraft brand they get, they will not need additional training.
“But, if it is another brand of aircraft, they have to go for type-training,” he said.
The rector said that it was not possible for the college to provide simulators that would provide training for all the types of aircraft in the industry.
He said this was because simulators were very expensive, adding that they needed to operate them for almost 24 hours for the college to recover the investment.
On the use of expatriate pilots, Mr Abdulsalam said the government’s policy was that as long as a qualified Nigerian was on ground, it would not approve a foreigner to do the job in Nigeria.
The rector, however, explained that if an airline introduced new equipment, there might not be local pilots to operate that equipment then to bridge the gap, the airline have to bring in qualified expatriate to start utilising the aircraft.
“For instance, Air Peace bought a number of Embraer 45 and before then very few Embraer 45 were flying in Nigeria, which meant that very few Nigerians had that type-rating.
“A number of that aircraft were parked because we had no pilots. So, the airline had to bring a number of foreigners from abroad to fly the planes till such a time their own people they were training would be qualified to take over.
“It is a common practice in the industry,” he said.


The first attempt at a trained UAV was A.M. Lows „Aerial Target“ in 1916.  Low confirmed that Geoffrey de Havilland was the only one flying under control with his radio system on March 21, 1917.  Nikola Tesla described 1915 a fleet of unmanned air combat vehicles.  Progress followed during and after the First World War, including the British Hewitt-Sperry Automatic Airplane (1917) and the RAE Larynx (1927). These developments also inspired the construction of Charles Kettering`s Kettering Bug in Dayton, Ohio. Originally designed as an unmanned aircraft, which would carry an explosive payload to a predetermined target. The first scale remote control vehicle was developed in 1935 by movie star and model enthusiast Reginald Denny.  During the Second World War, there were others, both to train aviation advocates and to fly attack missions. Nazi Germany produced and used several drone planes during the war, such as the Argus As 292 and the V-1 flying bomb with a jet engine. After World War II, development continued in vehicles such as the American JB-4 (using the TV/radio control), the Australian GAF Jindivik and teledyne Ryan Firebee I of 1951, while companies such as Beechcraft proposed their 1001 model for the U.S. Navy in 1955.
 Yet, until the Vietnam War, they were little more than remote-controlled aircraft. In April 2014, South Africa`s civil aviation authority announced that it would tackle the illegal theft of drones in South African airspace.  „Amateur drones“ weighing less than 7 kg at altitudes below 500 m with reduced visibility below the height of the highest obstacle within 300 m of the UAV are permitted. No license is required for these vehicles.  So far, the endurance of small aircraft is the best thing to do with flapping wing vehicles, followed by aircraft and multi-roters coming in last place due to the small number of Reynolds.  A UAV is defined as „a powered aircraft that does not carry a human operator, provides aerodynamic forces, provides elevators, can fly autonomously or can be flown remotely, can be consumable or recoverable, and can withstand a lethal or non-lethal payload.“  Therefore, missiles are not considered drones because the vehicle itself is a weapon that is not reused, even though it is unmanned and, in some cases, remotely controlled. In addition, UAV is a term often used in cases of military use.  The term unmanned aircraft system (UAS) was adopted in 2005 by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, in accordance with its 2005-2030 roadmap.  The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority have adopted the term, which is also used in the European Union`s Air Traffic Management Roadmap (ATM) Research (SESAR Joint Undertaking) for 2020.  This term emphasizes the meaning of elements other than the aircraft.
It includes items such as ground control stations, data connections and other support devices.

About a third of $10 million contract to impact base
Cherry Point will receive about one third of a $10 million contract in support of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Insitu Inc., of Bingen, Wash., has been awarded the $10,056,486 contract in support of the RQ-21A Blackjack, a new unmanned aircraft system, according to the federal registry.
The contract will be divided between Cherry Point, which will receive 35 percent, and Yuma, Ariz., which will receive 35 percent. Work is also expected in, Bingen, Wash., and Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
“Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 2 will use the funds for logistics, training, data reporting and field representative support,” said Lt. Maida Zheng, of the Cherry Point Public Affairs Office.
The money for the contract comes from Fiscal 2016 procurement funds for the Marine Corps by Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Md.
“This year, the RQ-21A Blackjack from VMU-2 will support its first-ever deployment with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit stationed in Camp Lejeune,” said Zheng. “The RQ-21A Blackjack brings the Marine Expeditionary Force and the Marine Expeditionary Units a dedicated system capable of supporting multiple aviation missions, such as aerial reconnaissance.”
According to the 2016 Marine Aviation Plan, the RQ-21A Blackjack “enhances the capabilities of MEU and regimental-sized units by providing a long endurance, expeditionary, multi-mission platform that is shipboard capable.”
The system can operate from land-based forward operating bases and “will increase battlespace awareness and influence of the electromagnetic spectrum.”
The Blackjack can carry a variety of payloads, many of which are still in development.
VMU-2 is familiar with the Blackjack. The squadron received three in 2015. This year, the number is to double to six, part of a multi-year transition to the Blackjack through 2024.
The Blackjack is propeller-powered and launched from a large trailer-mounted slingshot and recovered by a cable. With a wingspan of 16 feet, the Blackjack has a range of 50 nautical miles and an operating ceiling of 19,000 feet, according to the Marine Corps. It can operate at day or night, can capture full motion video, uses electro-optical and infrared cameras, use a laser rangefinder and can operate as a communications relay, among other uses.
VMU-2 is part of a growing number of Marine Corps units using unmanned aerial vehicles.
It was announced Monday that VMU-2 had won the John I. Hudson Award for VMU Squadron of the Year by the Marine Corps Aviation Association. The award will be presented with other Marine Corps aviation awards at the organization’s symposium in New Bern in May.
VMU-2 is part of Marine Air Group 14, part of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, based at Cherry Point.


U.S. investigates aborted FedEx touchdown in Texas, two planes cleared for identical runway
Feb 4 (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Management and the U.S. Nationwide Transportation Protection Board are investigating an aborted touchdown in Austin, Texas, on Saturday morning by means of a FedEx (FDX.N) shipment airplane that were set to land on a runway on which a Southwest Airways (LUV.N) jet used to be additionally cleared to go away from, the companies stated.
The 2 planes got here as regards to colliding when the FedEx airplane used to be compelled to overfly the Southwest airplane to steer clear of a crash, two assets briefed at the topic advised Reuters.
“In a while prior to the FedEx plane used to be because of land, the controller cleared Southwest Flight 708 to go away from the similar runway,” the Federal Aviation Management (FAA) stated.
The NTSB one after the other stated it used to be investigating “a imaginable runway incursion and overflight involving airplanes from Southwest Airways and FedEx.”
The incident took place in deficient visibility stipulations in Austin. The FAA stated FedEx Categorical Flight 1432, a Boeing 767 shipment airplane, which had departed from Memphis, used to be cleared to land on Runway 18-Left round 6:40 a.m. whilst the plane used to be a number of miles from the airport. The Southwest airplane had now not but departed when the FedEx airplane used to be nearing the runway.
View 2 extra tales
“The pilot of the FedEx plane discontinued the touchdown and initiated a climb out,” the FAA stated.
It used to be now not transparent exactly how shut the 2 airplanes got here to colliding, however flight monitoring web page information recommended they got here very shut.
The Cancun, Mexico-bound Southwest flight, a Boeing 737-700, safely departed and landed at 9:47 a.m. ET.
Southwest declined to remark. FedEx stated its flight “safely landed after encountering an match,” however declined additional remark as a result of the continued investigations.
The NTSB and FAA are investigating some other contemporary near-miss runway incident.
On Jan. 13, a Delta Air Strains (DAL.N) airplane got here to a secure prevent at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport after air visitors controllers spotted a Boeing 777 had crossed from an adjoining taxiway.
The FAA stated the Delta Boeing 737 stopped its takeoff roll roughly 1,000 ft prior to attaining the purpose the place American Airways (AAL.O) Flight 106 had crossed.

You must be at least 18 years old to obtain an Operator ID. You can use the same operator ID for all your drones and model aircraft. Some suggested changes to your section above with the title “Here are the most important rules you need to know to fly a drone in the UK?” To explain the different types of drones, I will divide them into 3 categories for you. The amendment to the air traffic control regulation requires owners of drones weighing 250 grams or more to register with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and drone pilots to pass an online safety test to ensure UK airspace is protected from irresponsible aircraft. But what are the UK laws governing this exciting way of using drones? If your drone or model aircraft weighs 20kg or more, you should always have liability insurance, regardless of how you use it. Your drone should not be flown within 150 meters by a large group of people such as a concert or sporting event, as you can be sued and only need permission to fly a recreational drone in the United States if you plan to use it in restricted airspace. And the FAA recommends that you review and follow all local laws and regulations before flying over private property. “We are therefore particularly pleased with the Ministry of Transportation`s commitment to accessible online testing to help drone users comply with the law. I also worry about anyone starting with this drone in the world of FPV drones, as it can create bad habits. Flying an FPV drone has nothing to do with a regular drone, in fact, you are closer to FPV drones with non-GPS drones than anything else on the market. So follow the law and fly responsibly – and enjoy the thrill that comes with FPV drone operations. Before flying to Washington DC or other high-security areas, you should first check with intelligence and/or a regulatory body. But in most cases, you will not be admitted.
Just a warning. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also bans drones in marine protected areas. It is even illegal to fly your drone in or around a forest firefighter. Want to get an idea of what kind of footage you can fly with a drone in the UK? Here we go: The Mavic 3 Enterprise is DJI`s new compact and lightweight solution for drone surveying. Read our in-depth comparison between the Mavic 3E and the DJI Phantom 4 RTK and find out why the Mavic 3 Enterprise is a more efficient drone mapping solution. Do you know anything we don`t know about drone laws in the UK? Email us at support[at]uavcoach[dot]com. We are not international aviation advocates and do our best to keep this page up to date for drone pilots, but the reality is that, given the pace of the small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) industry and the response from governments, drone regulation in the UK may change over the course of the year, And these changes can be difficult to track. If we missed something, please contact us to let us know. If your drone doesn`t have a class marker by January 2023, you can fly it in the following categories: As for the open category (for less risky operations), the new regulations allow FPV pilots to fly without direct visual contact with the drone – provided they are accompanied by an observer who maintains direct eye contact with the drone. The full rules you need to know can be found on the Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education System (DMARES) webpages. You must pass this test before you can fly your drone outdoors.
There are some exceptions, which are described in detail on the DMARES pages. In this situation, the drone, which must weigh less than 25 kg, must not exceed 500 meters horizontally from the remote pilot, and: Members of the Association of Drone and Model Aircraft Clubs enjoy greater flexibility for FPV flights and drone racing. Of course, many quadcopters fly much higher than CAA`s 400-foot limit, and of course, it`s hard to tell if a drone flew 500 meters from you horizontally. Nevertheless, there is this handy PDF that you can download to remember the rules. And with that, the rules become more detailed when you read the CAA literature: The Place No. 1 where you can`t fly a drone in the US is an airport. You must be at least five miles away to operate without informing the control tower of your activity. If you wish to fly closer, you must inform the airport operator or air traffic control tower. If you`re worried about whether you`re too close to an airport to fly, use an app like AirMap to see where you`re allowed to fly. An FPV drone is ultimately designed to be small, light and very fast. This type of drone is usually as raw as drone flight can be.
It`s fun, challenging, but extremely rewarding. Unlike traditional drones, you would fly in first person, as if you were playing a racing game or prefer to drive a real car. You become a part of the drone and not just someone on the ground looking up and seeing your drone flying through the clouds. Well, it might be a bit hard to say since I haven`t flown one yet, but all the images generated by this drone are too fluid, stable and I dare say predictable. I don`t have the same intense feeling when I look at the DJI FPV drone footage as I would with my own FPV drone. Part of owning an FPV drone is oddly having to fix it when you fly it in a house. I know this from my own experience! Drones, also known as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or quadcopters, are a type of aircraft without a human pilot on board. They are controlled by a ground operator.
Drones have gained popularity in recent years and are now used for military operations, aerial inspections, delivery and shipping, photography, etc. In this guide, we`ll focus on recreational drones. See the general rules listed above. Visit the CAA website, which deals specifically with the use of recreational drones. Unmanned recreational aircraft in the UK Initially, the CAA website listed all drones as “small unmanned aerial vehicles” and it was difficult to determine what rules applied to your drone, especially if you owned a modern, professional quadcopter. Now, however, there`s a new website just for drones. Based on our research and interpretation of the laws, here are the most important rules for flying a drone in the UK. The new regulation also includes geolocation, which involves programming no-fly zones in recreational drones.

Who am I: Charismatic. Optimistic. Wife. First Daughter. Christian. PhD Candidate. Employee. Nigerian. British. Canadian PR. International Affairs Expert. Lawyer. Outer Space and Aviation Geek. Spokesperson and Advocate. Aspiring Entrepreneur. Award Winner.
What do I do: Writer. Speaker. Researcher. Consultant. Formulate Ideas and think outside the box.
Where do I do it: Based in Montreal, Quebec Canada, I am a consultant at the leading space consultancy Euroconsult. I am a PhD Candidate at McGill University and I love to write, anywhere! You know what they say, “Publish or Peril!” I come up with new ideas for a range of things from creating events and workshops, to setting up blogs to helping people with University and grant applications. I started speaking before the age of 2 and seem to be pretty good at it, so I’m told otherwise I guess people would stop inviting me to speak and present my ideas!

Why do I do it: Much to my husband’s frustration, I wake up with a new idea everyday…”Are you sure you can add another thing to your plate?” he says…Undoubtedly, 24 hours in the day is not enough and not every idea is implementable, but I wake up each day feeling blessed, optimistic and thankful that I can take in another breath with my loved ones around me. This drives me to use every single God given talent I have to try to make an impact in the world, one word at a time!

Did 'Martian' methane signal come from Earth?
By Rachel Courtland CLAIMS that Mars’s atmosphere contains methane, which have fuelled speculations that the planet hosts life, may be premature. A key piece of evidence for methane on Mars may actually be due to Earth-based methane, warn researchers led by Kevin Zahnle of NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. “This is not a done deal,” says Zahnle, despite a widespread perception that methane has been found on the Red Planet. The clearest evidence for methane on Mars came in 2009 from a team led by Michael Mumma at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt,


The Hancock County Port and Harbor Commission has commissioned RS&H Inc. to study the feasibility of obtaining a Launch Site Operator License that could open the door to commercial space flight out of Stennis International Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration has developed regulations that enable airports to host operations of reusable launch vehicles that take off and land like aircraft. Several kinds of such vehicles are currently under development. The study will examine the feasibility of hosting spaceport operations, as well as the infrastructure needs and potential economic benefits of such operations.
“Determining the feasibility to launch spacecraft from Stennis International Airport represents a significant growth opportunity to expand Hancock County’s role in the space industry. Space is not new to Hancock County, home of NASA’s John C. Stennis Space Center, the nation’s largest rocket engine testing facility. The industry is poised for dynamic growth, and Hancock County is uniquely positioned to benefit from this growth,” said HCPHC’s CEO Bill Cork.
“Developing airports to be able to host operations of launch vehicles promises to bring down the cost of launching payloads into space tremendously,” said Ken Ibold, Senior Aviation Consultant for RS&H and the firm’s Project Manager for spaceport development at airports. “Stennis is a great candidate for a Launch Site Operator License because it is surrounded by compatible land and the community is so rooted in the space age.”
The study will help the HCPHC to identify potential users for the Airport in addition to traditional aircraft. Other activities may include unmanned aerial systems and other aerospace development.
Situated near the Gulf of Mexico, and with more than 1,500 acres of land readily available for development, Stennis International Airport features many of the attributes associated with a licensed spaceport. The Stennis area is considered to be a viable location due to the presence of a strong technology-savvy workforce associated with the NASA Stennis facility.

United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rocket blasted off with the pair of check satellites, kicking off a program that goals to enhance international web protection with an eventual 3,236 satellites round Earth.
Amazon plans to start providing service by the top of subsequent yr.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX has an enormous head begin over Amazon and its founder Jeff Bezos, who has his personal rocket firm, Blue Origin.
SpaceX flew its first check Starlink satellites in 2018 and the primary operational satellites in 2019. It has since launched greater than 5,000 Starlinks from Florida and California, utilizing its personal Falcon rockets.
Europe’s Eutelsat OneWeb is also launching web satellites, with round 600 in orbit.
Amazon initially agreed to place the satellites on the debut launch of ULA’s Vulcan rocket. However with the Vulcan grounded by issues till not less than the top of this yr, Amazon switched to the long-established Atlas V.
When licensing this system, the Federal Communications Fee stipulated that not less than half of the deliberate satellites be working by 2026 and all of them by 2029.
Amazon has reserved 77 launches from ULA, Blue Origin and Europe’s Arianespace to get all the things up.

I love to fly, but I very rarely enjoy reading books about flying, especially while in an airplane: all too often they involve words like “plummet”, “screaming”, “disaster” and “splatted”. Nothing like reading a sentence that combines all four of those and then spending a few tense hours at several thousand feet staring out the windows trying to work out if the wing normally wobbles that much.
Books that should never appear in airport booksellers (that I have actually see stocked) include all the various “air crash investigations” series, any of the 4 books I have seen with “air disaster” in their title and – of course – Alive, the infamous story of 16 blokes crashed in the Andes eating the unthinkable, which will not only put you off flying but right off your inflight meal.
Ideally in-flight books should be diverting enough to distract you from the plane, not remind you you’re on one. So you would imagine that reading Qf32: The Captain’s Extraordinary Account Of How One Of The World’s Worst Air Disasters Was Averted by Qantas pilot Richard De Crespigny would be right out.
But as near-disaster stories go, it’s a very reassuring one, and this is down in no small measure to the calm and clear explanations of what does happen onboard when things start to go badly wrong. And Richard should know. He was the captain on what should have been a routine long-haul flight from Singapore to Sydney, piloting one of Qantas’s new A380 aircraft. It should have been a routine flight but shortly after leaving Changi Airport, an explosion shattered engine 2, sending hundreds of pieces of shrapnel ripping through the wing and fuselage, and creating chaos as vital flight systems and back-ups were damaged or destroyed.
The flight, with nearly 500 people on board, had the potential to be one of history’s worst aviation disasters. Some advance reports even stated that the plane had crashed but the experienced flight crew, led by De Crespigny, managed to land and safely disembark their passengers after hours of nerve-wracking effort.
The book doesn’t just shed light on what happened on that flight. It follows Richard’s life and career, from his time with the RAAF through over 20 years and Qantas, and explains the skills and training of a top-level airline pilot. Richard clearly loves to fly and is confident in the air, but he’s sympathetic to those of us who aren’t, as he explained in an interview with Escape’s Doc Holiday.
I have and will always be sympathetic to nervous flyers; this is why the QF32 crew behaved the way they did, informing and debriefing the passengers. I can’t emphasise enough that the crew have extraordinary skills and are trained to look after you in the case of an emergency. Whatever the emergency, the pilots and crew in the good airlines have been trained for every contingency and you are in the best hands! They know what they are doing. They have been trained, they are knowledgeable and they will not panic.
And is he confident that training is backed up by safe planes? When should we be staring out the window at the wobbling wing and wondering.
Aboard the top world airlines: never. You are safer in the aircraft than you were driving to the airport.
So, thanks to this book, from here on in I’ll feel a little calmer in the air. Instead, I’ll be worrying while in the car Anyone got any recommended reading for when I’m not driving?


After traveling through space for 200 million miles, rocky pieces from asteroid Bennu were dropped off on Earth by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft in late September. Now, some of those fragments will be put on display for museum-goers to observe firsthand.
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History will unveil the first public display of the asteroid sample on Friday, November 3. The museum, located in Washington, D.C., will be the first to offer eager space nerds a look at the pristine dark rocks and dust collected from asteroid Bennu.
The sample will be on display at the museum’s Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals meteorite gallery. The display will also include scale models of the OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft, on loan from Lockheed Martin, and the Atlas V 411 rocket that carried the spacecraft, on loan courtesy of United Launch Alliance.
“This exhibit is our first chance to share this incredible journey with the public,” Tim McCoy, the museum’s curator of meteorites who has worked on the OSIRIS-REx mission, said in an emailed statement.
Bennu is a small, near-Earth asteroid that makes a close pass to Earth every six years or so. Scientists believe Bennu might have broken off from a much larger carbon-rich asteroid about 700 million to 2 billion years ago, and drifted much closer to Earth since then.
The asteroid was selected as the target of NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission, which landed on the near-Earth asteroid and snagged a rocky sample in October 2020. The OSIRIS-REx mission dropped off the asteroid samples in the Utah desert on September 24, from where it was transported to the Johnson Space Center where a curation team has been carefully trying to open the canister containing the bulk of the sample. This marked NASA’s first successful attempt to return samples from a distant asteroid (Japan brought back samples of asteroid Ryugu in 2020).
The team recently ran into trouble when two of 35 fasteners on the TAGSAM head, a round head that grabbed the sample from the asteroid, could not be removed. Luckily, there was an abundance of dust and rock on the outside of the TAGSAM head, and team members also managed to extract more of the sample using tweezers and a scoop. NASA is currently devising a plan to safely open the chamber door.
The asteroid samples extracted so far, however, already exceed the mission’s goal of collecting 60 grams of debris from the asteroid, according to NASA. To date, the space agency has recovered 2.48 ounces (70.3 grams) of rocks and dust. Early analysis of the sample found an abundance of carbon and water molecules, just the kind of stuff scientists were hoping to find on NASA’s first returned asteroid sample.
“Having now returned to Earth without being exposed to our water-rich atmosphere or the life that fills every corner of our planet, the samples of Bennu hold the promise to tell us about the water and organics before life came to form our unique planet,” McCoy said.

How do you actually get to spot the moon, catch the sun peeping through the mountains with a rainbow all within a flight?
I did, on a hot air balloon flight at Gold Coast just over the recent Vesak day long weekend
Around 445am, we set off from Surfers Paradise and drove towards Canungra Tourist Information Centre, about 30 minutes away to meet up with the team of visitors going for the hot air balloon flight too.
Upon meeting the team, we parked and took a bus transfer to the flight ground. Most pilots prefer to fly either just after dawn or just before dusk, since these times offer cooler air and the calmest and most favorable wind conditions for hot air ballooning
After a short but comprehensive briefing, we were ready to board for our very first hot air balloon flight!
According to the pilot, we traveled at 20 knots an hour at our peak (that’s pretty fast as normally it’s under 10!). It was a calm morning, so it was a pretty awesome taking in the views of the surroundings in the cool morning air.
Amazing huh? I really thought so
It was a pretty short ride, ending around 30 minutes and there was another mission waiting for us!
The team helped to keep the balloon. It was really not easy, and required the effort of everyone. And we (or most of the guys) were rather efficient!
The big balloon is now packed into a ball, ready to be transported back. We too, took a ride back to our bus and were all ready for breakfast!
Back at Canungra , we were greeted with our champagne breakfast at the O’Reillys Vineyard.
The whole hot air balloon experience cost 250 AUD per pax. Overall a pleasant experience and it was always an activity that I’ve wanted to try. And this package that we have chosen is one of the most popular / value-for-money options in Gold Coast.


You will be taken to Blenheim by one of our Student Liaison's, where we will start off with a tour of our Aviation workshops by one of our amazing tutors. Your tour will also include hands-on activities and a tour of our 727 aircraft.
As NMIT's Campus is on the New Zealand Air Force Base you will also get to have a look around Base Woodbourne and get to see some of the different aircraft used by the New Zealand Air Force.

Comments from Our Readers
***** I am pleased to have solved the puzzle. It took a little while of studying the picture until it just came to me. My first thought was a decompression chamber, but it just didn't look quite right. Studying the 'graffiti' was the clue, I think, although I couldn't read it, it seemed to be a lot of writing that did not overlap, something that had been done with care. The round portal was obviously meant to move from one area into another. The yellow duct suggested that the other side of the portal was enclosed and thus needed ventilation. But the duct was not a permanent. It finally just came to me. Finding the official name took a while. Various google searches lead me to YouTube video of astronauts in the room. Finally I got to Wikipedia and that gave me the correct description.
I was totally lost in the prior weeks puzzle. Not a clue!
This is really fun!
***** Looking at the photo at first I thought it was an entryway to something, possibly a spacecraft. I tried to google some of the names written on the walls and found that they were involved in the space program. However it was when I saved the photo and enlarged it that I noticed "Endeavour" reflected in the window.
***** I did notice the reflected name Endeavour in the glass, but I also noticed the name of the photographer and his website in the upper right corner of the photo. When I went to Ben Cooper's website, www.launchphotography.com, I found the quiz picture when I clicked on the POWERED: Endeavour link which stated that your photo plus two others showed the white room entrance in an Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF).
At the time the photos were taken in September of this year, the Endeavour was in OFP-2, one of three OFPs at Kennedy Space Center. After Endeavour was rolled out, Atlantis was rolled into OFP-2 for its final retirement processing and left it October 18th which is on what I based my last use date for the white room of OFP-2.
***** Saw the reflection of the word Endeavour (backwards) in the picture and figured that the picture probably had to do with space exploration. Googled images for: Endeavour space shuttle room, and found the picture of the "white room". Then googled: white room space shuttle, and found info.
***** I did notice Endeavour reflection, but did not realize it was a reflection. Even though I flipped the image sideways to read it.
I could make out part of the photographer's name in the upper right corner and worked it out from there. It looked like high tech, and when I saw the I saw the NASA connection knew I had it. I did not see the "Endeavour" reflection.
***** The partial giveaway was the photographers name in the upper right hand corner. I say partial because I don�t know the answer to all of the questions. The photographer, Ben Cooper, does freelance photography with NASA. All I know is that's the space shuttle Endeavor. The Endeavor finished its final flight (not counting the one on the back of the carrier plane) on June 1, 2011. Colleen, in the spirit of the holidays, hints would now be appreciated. What I think it is (but I don't know) is a hyperbaric chamber used for decompression after a space walk. The final Endeavor space walk was May 27, 2011. Whatever the room is, I love the walls. Did I make a lucky guess?
***** This week's quiz had me off in the wrong direction for a time. I kept thinking it was an MRI room or hyperbolic chamber of sorts. I finally got it when noticed the name and URL on the top right. It was cake from there, though I almost didn't get a chance to send my answers.
***** I looked at the picture and thought it had to do with space, so I went to google and put in room with signature space, and guess what I found. The picture so I just did alittle investigating on the Endeavour. It was awesome and I had to think about it and make sure I didnt think to much into it, it was neat on learning about it too.
***** Hello Colleen: I got on to contest answers with words "covered in signatures." Photos of this and shuttle interior were likely taken as the shuttles were being decommissioned. Drawings and specifications of space shuttles can be found at columbiassacrifice.com.
Did you get to see the Endeavour winding its way through LA being towed by a Toyota Tundra truck? btw: Seattle Museum of Flight in Seattle Washington and Evergreen Flight and Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon also bidded for one of the shuttles. from HMS Endeavour to OV-105 Endeavour to Starship Endeavour...
Starship Fleet Commander Mike Dalton
***** I did not see the Endeavor reflection until now. I kept looking up names autographed on the wall. They seem to be people involved with NASA. I spent a lot of time looking at pictures of the Mobile Quarantine Facility used with the first few Apollo missions I saw the shower and thought this was a cleaning room. None of the pictures I could find of the mqf showed the backroom of those units. One of the mqfs has been found somewhere in the south and is being restored. The autographs had dates of 08, 07, so I knew it probably wasn't in use for the early Apollo missions. I did try looking for Bell Cooper, but it must have been Bill or Ben Cooper. I couldn't figure out the rest of the red lettering. I tried Photograph House. One photographer said he dropped a screw or something off his equipment and had to struggle to find it while in the room. It was an interesting quiz to read about all the NASA information.
When I first looked carefully at the detail in the photo, my first guess was that it had something to do with the space program. So I did all kinds of crazy keyword searches "space program room with lots of signatures" and all kinds of combinations along those lines. Nothing that fit.
Then I got out my magnifying glass and tried to read the dates on some of the signatures to get some idea of the time frame. Resolution no better than on the screen.
Then I noticed the tiny red lettering in the upper right hand corner "Ben Cooper ???" couldn't make out the rest of the words. So did a search on Ben Cooper photographer (a guess that it was the photographer's name) and, presto, up came a number of websites with his whole series of absolutely gorgeous photos from all the launches, as well as a lot of landscape photos. Spent some time exploring his photographs. Did not find anything similar to your photo at this first pass.
In the meantime, John was also looking at the photo on his laptop and we both noticed (at the same time!) the backwards (reflection) lettering in the window (ENDEAVOUR). That of course was all we needed to find the solution and the appropriate websites. Once we saw the original photo on a website, we noticed how you had cleverly blanked out the ENDEAVOUR sign over the door but not the reflection in the window. Cool!
Your quizzes always offer "lagniappe" - a little bit extra. This time it was the wonderful work of the photographer. Did you ever meet him personally? From what I read he no longer works for NASA and is freelancing.
Thanks for another great quiz.
It took me a couple of hours to solve it (spent some of that time surfing Cooper's photographs!). I've developed a pattern for your quizzes: I try to do all the research and solve it the morning after you post it. Then I wait a few days to compose my answer - just to make sure I am comfortable I have a reasonable solution and maybe do a bit of extra research and let it rattle around in my head. I've enjoyed them all.
2. The entry to the Orbiter Processing Facility for the Space Shuttle Endeavor. It is used by astronauts to enter and exit the space shuttle.
3. We are accepting three possible dates:
May 16, 2011
The launch day of the last flight of the Endeavor
October 18, 2012
Used for retirement processing of the Atlantis
September 18, 2012
The Endeavor was moved to the demate device in preparation for its move to the California Science Center
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Sept 16 - The space shuttle Endeavour, built to replace NASA's lost ship Challenger, prepared for a final flight this week, heading not into orbit but west to a Los Angeles museum.
Riding piggyback on top of a specially modified 747 jet, Endeavour will be the second of NASA's three surviving shuttles to leave the Kennedy Space Center and begin new roles as space
"We finally get to really show her off," NASA astronaut Kay Hire, who flew aboard Endeavour in 2010, told reporters on Sunday on the shuttle's runway. "It's a great vehicle, but it was designed in the '70s. We've modified it along the way and it's certainly served us well, but it is time to move on."
Endeavour was built as a replacement for Challenger, which was destroyed in an accident that killed seven astronauts in 1986. NASA lost a second shuttle, Columbia, and seven more crew members in 2003. That ship was not replaced.
Endeavour's lifespan was relatively short by shuttle standards - 25 missions over 20 years, totaling 299 days in space.
But those flights ran the gamut of orbital odysseys, including the sheer moxie of its May 1992 debut when three astronauts made an impromptu and unprecedented spacewalk to rescue a stranded Intelsat communications satellite.
Eighteen months later, Endeavour flew a high-stakes mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope, which, to NASA's horror, had been launched in 1990 with a misshapen primary mirror.
A dozen of Endeavour's missions were devoted to building and outfitting the International Space Station, a $100 billion research laboratory that flies about 250 miles above Earth.
In December 1998, Endeavour carried the first U.S.-made piece of the fledgling station, a connecting hub named Unity that astronauts attached to the Russian-launched Zarya base module.
Twelve years later, Endeavour carried the last U.S. connecting node, Tranquility, as well as the station's gemstone - a dome-shaped room of windows for outside viewing.
Its final mission in May 2011 was to deliver and install a $2 billion particle detector that is searching the cosmos for signs of dark matter and other exotic phenomena.
The shuttle, named after the ship that 18th century British explorer James Cook sailed during his first voyage of discovery in the Pacific Ocean, will spend its retirement at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
Sister ship Discovery, NASA's oldest surviving shuttle, is on display at the Smithsonian Institution's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center outside Washington.
Atlantis, which flew NASA's 135th and final shuttle mission in July 2011, will not need a plane ride to reach its retirement home. In November, it will be towed down the road to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Swing arms were retractable mechanical systems that extended from the launch tower to the Space Shuttle. They provided access to the vehicle for people, wiring and plumbing while the vehicle was on the launch pad. They retracted by swinging away before launch.
People (technicians, engineers, and astronauts) used the Orbiter Access Arm to access the crew module. At the end of the arm, the white room provided an environmentally controlled and protected area for astronauts and their equipment to enter the orbiter.
Left top: The doors to the White Room, which provided entry to the space shuttle crew compartment, are seen here at the end of the access arm walkway. Left bottom: Apollo era walkway and white room, on display at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex


BUMAX fasteners to be used on ISS
May 15, 2023
Specialist fastener manufacturer BUMAX has been selected to provide crucial fasteners to be used on the International Space Station (ISS) — BUMAX 88 fasteners will be used to secure a new payload going to the ISS to measure the speed of sound.
BUMAX premium fasteners include some of the strongest in the world and are being used in a variety of extremely demanding and cutting-edge scientific applications, such as at the scientific research institute CERN in Switzerland and for the world's largest optical telescope in northern Chile.
The space sector continues to benefit from the BUMAX fastener range with various applications. BUMAX extra strong and fatigue resistant model 88 has been selected to securely fasten the housing of a new payload on the ISS called Granular Sound.
The customer is OHB System AG, a subsidiary of the European space and technology group OHB SE, under contract of the European Space Agency (ESA). OHB SE is a European multinational technology corporation. Headquartered in Bremen, Germany, the corporation consists of the three business divisions: Space Systems, Aerospace and Digital. At present, OHB is the third largest corporation in Europe's space sector.
Granular Sound is an experiment in space to measure the speed of sound through a cube filled with glass balls (a so-called package) in microgravity at different package pressures. The experiment uses thousands of glass balls to simulate granular media like sand or concrete.
The enhanced properties of BUMAX 88 fasteners are achieved through a combination of unique BUMAX manufacturing processes and the highest quality, European steel.
Since January of 2022, BUMAX 88 screws have also been used for the ANITA-2 trace gas monitoring system to ensure good air quality for ISS astronauts. The system has been simultaneously measuring more than 40 gases every six minutes on the ISS. The system was developed by OHB System AG. BUMAX 88 screws were used for the ANITA-2 payload to securely seal a safety containment and fasten crucial optical components.

Neil Armstrong, Poet
Three years ago, in the now-defunct TrueSlant, I reflected on the poetic perfection of Neil Armstrong’s post-lunar career. Armstrong died today at 82. He was a badass.
Monday’s Washington Post has a fascinating look at the post-Apollo 11 life of Neil Armstrong. It’s not accurate to say that the first man on the moon has been a recluse, as he’s frequently described; but neither has he exploited his achievement for personal glory or commercial success. He became the most famous man on the planet, a hero in a company of heroes, and then he simply walked away, taking a desk job at NASA and retiring two years later. Since then he’s rarely been seen in public, and in his infrequent appearances he’s been reticent to a fault. He seems to have sensed that the music was in what he did, not what he said, and that for the rest of his life he could never say anything that would measure up to the enormity of the achievement for which he had become the unwilling public face.
Tom Wolfe argued in a New York Times op-ed a couple of days ago that the space program died at the moment Armstrong set foot on the moon — that the poetic trajectory of space exploration flattened at that moment, and NASA was never able to recover. Armstrong may have understood that better, and earlier, than anyone. On Monday he’ll will join Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins at the White House for a 40th-anniversary photo op with President Obama. After which, no doubt, he’ll return to Ohio and live out his days in the unexpected, but poetically perfect, peace and quiet that have characterized his life since the day he stepped into history.

President Joe Biden released the first full-color image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Monday, during a public event at the White House in Washington.
This first image showcases the powerful capabilities of the Webb mission, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.
Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.
This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said, “Webb’s First Deep Field is not only the first full-color image from the James Webb Space Telescope, it’s the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe, so far. This image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length. It’s just a tiny sliver of the vast universe.”
“This mission was made possible by human ingenuity – the incredible NASA Webb team and our international partners at the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. Webb is just the start of what we can accomplish in the future when we work together for the benefit of humanity” Nelson added.
The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe.
This image is among the telescope’s first-full color images. The full suite will be released Tuesday, July 12, beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT, during a live NASA TV broadcast.
The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory. Webb will solve mysteries in our solar system, look beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probe the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb launched on Dec. 25, 2021, on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, South America.

Grumman low-crossrange Phase-B proposal. The company was one of four contenders for NASA's
Phase-B shuttle contract but lost out to North American Rockwell and McDonnell-Douglas in
Alternative Space Shuttle Concepts. In addition to the primary Phase B study contracts,
NASA also awarded three “Alternate Space Shuttle Concept” (ASSC) contracts to Grumman/Boeing,
Chrysler and Lockheed in June 1970. NASA wanted a fallback option in case North American
Rockwell's & McDonnell-Douglas' fully reusable Phase-B shuttle proved to be too expensive.
Grumman and Boeing received the most important of the ASSC contracts to study a stage-and-a-half
shuttle with expendable propellant tanks, and a reusable orbiter+booster using existing Saturn
J-2S engines and solid rocket motors on the booster for additional thrust augmentation. The
contract was initially worth $4 million and was later upgraded into a full Phase-B contract.
Saturn S-IV-B upper stage separates from shuttle booster in this Boeing illustration from late 1970.
NASA had been forced to shut down the Saturn V production lines in 1970 due to severe budget
cutbacks, and the agency had to look at other options for launching future heavy payloads such
as space stations and nuclear orbital transfer vehicles. Boeing and Grumman examined a number
of shuttle booster+expendable upper stage configurations in late 1970, and
McDonnell-Douglas & Martin Marietta later carried out a similar study in early 1971. McDAC
found out that the Shuttle booster + Saturn S-IV-B option would have been capable of carrying
54,431 kilograms into orbit for $23.7 million per flight -- $1,850/kg in 1999 dollars.
The estimated development cost was $82 million while a nuclear upper stage with Saturn S-II
tankage would have cost $106 million plus $24.18 million (=$1760/kg at 1999 rates) per flight.
Its payload capability would have been 59 tonnes. However, the preferred option was a totally new
$320-million expendable upper stage built from shuttle booster and orbiter components capable
of carrying 77,710 kilograms for only $17.51 million per launch (=$970/kg in 1999 dollars).
