CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook - Mission Supplement Revision History Editor's Note Mission-specific sections of the Space Reporter's Handbook are posted as flight data becomes available. Readers should check the CBS News "Space Place" web site in the weeks before a launch to download the latest edition: http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/current.html DATE RELEASE NOTES 05/28/08 Initial STS-124 release Introduction This document is an outgrowth of my original UPI Space Reporter's Handbook, prepared prior to STS-26 for United Press International and updated for several flights thereafter due to popular demand. The current version is prepared for CBS News. As with the original, the goal here is to provide useful information on U.S. and Russian space flights so reporters and producers will not be forced to rely on government or industry public affairs officers at times when it might be difficult to get timely responses. All of these data are available elsewhere, of course, but not necessarily in one place. The STS-124 version of the CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook was compiled from NASA news releases, JSC flight plans, the Shuttle Flight Data and In-Flight Anomaly List, NASA Public Affairs and the Flight Dynamics office (abort boundaries) at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

  • Instructions to Prepare a Paper
    26th SFTE (EC) Symposium 6-8 October 2015 – Sevilla, Spain THE «FLIGHT TESTING» GRADUATE COURSE AT POLITECNICO DI MILANO Lorenzo Trainelli, Alberto Rolando Department of Aerospace Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano Via G. La Masa, 20156 Milano, Italy e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: This paper describes the current status of the “Flight Testing” graduate course held at the Politecnico di Milano as an elective subject in its Aeronautical Engi- neering MSc curriculum. The course, delivered each year, has reached its 10th anniver- sary in 2015. Nearly 120 students passed the course to date, most of them upon submis- sion and presentation of a flight test report concerning a real flight test mission carried out by the student in person. In fact, the unique characteristic of this course is the provi- sion of a complete experience in which each student is requested to design, perform and report on a real flight test of a manned aircraft, acting as a Flight Test Engineer under all respects. The conditions of the flight test experience and two flight test campaigns are described, reporting on the latest updates in the FTI system, which now features a fully functional telemetry capability. 1 LIST OF SIMBOLS A/C Aircraft AOA Angle of attack AOS Angle of sideslip CAN Controller Area Network CDIO Conceiving – Designing – Implementing – Operating COTS Commercial off-the-shelf CTO Chief technical officer CVE Compliance verification engineer DSTA-PoliMI Department of Aerospace Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano GPS Global Positioning System GS Ground station HDO Head of design organization FT Flight testing FTE Flight test engineer FTI Flight test instrumentation FTR Flight Test Report MEMS Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems MTOW Maximum take-off weight TPD Test Planning Document UDP User Datagram Protocol ULM Ultralight machine 1 Copyright October, 2015 by L.

MiRIAD Passes Payload Flight Test – Morongo and Coachella Valley, CA Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc. MiRIAD (Millimeter Remote Imaging from Airborne Drone) system has successfully passed its internal payload flight testing demonstrations. The testing took place on variable terrain as well as close to the Palm Springs Wind Farm. The test allowed assessment of the stability and maneuverability of a UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System), with a MiRIAD system attached. The SWAP (Size, Weight and Power) tests provide critical data on system endurance parameters. Currently, drones are used for capturing aerial imagery, mainly video and occasionally thermal. There is no current capability for drone-based imaging at much longer wavelengths, such as within the millimeter-wave spectrum.

I contemplated holding off on discussing the event until Warrant Officer 3 Sylvia Grandstaff (then) a student at the USN November, but I thought it worthy to mention recent TPS, both SETP members, who accepted the US Army’s recognition bestowed upon one of our members, Ms. Barbara Broken Wing Award. According to the Navy press release: Gordon of U.S. Naval Test Pilot School. Barb is a rotary and “Highly regarded and rarely awarded, the Army gives the fixed-wing staff instructor (government civilian) as well as the Broken Wing to aircrew who have minimized or prevented loss Director of Safety at the school.

    NLR-TP-2016-268 | June 2020 Safe flight tests: A contradiction or achievable CUSTOMER: Netherlands Aerospace Centre NLR – Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre NLR is a leading international research centre for aerospace. Bolstered by its multidisciplinary expertise and unrivalled research facilities, NLR provides innovative and integral solutions for the complex challenges in the aerospace sector. NLR's activities span the full spectrum of Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT & E). Given NLR's specialist knowledge and facilities, companies turn to NLR for validation, verification, qualification, simulation and evaluation. NLR thereby bridges the gap between research and practical applications, while working for both government and industry at home and abroad. NLR stands for practical and innovative solutions, technical expertise and a long-term design vision. This allows NLR's cutting edge technology to find its way into successful aerospace programs of OEMs, including Airbus, Embraer and Pilatus. NLR contributes to (military) programs, such as ESA's IXV re-entry vehicle, the F-35, the Apache helicopter, and European programs, including SESAR and Clean Sky 2. Founded in 1919, and employing some 600 people, NLR achieved a turnover of 76 million euros in 2017, of which 81% derived from contract research, and the remaining from government funds.

Hughes Technical Center, Atlantic City, NJ, 08405, USA Development of new air vehicles (e.g., personal air vehicles, urban taxis, etc.) have led to a proliferation of Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) vehicle concepts including electric vehicles, many of which are well funded and are in various stages of prototype development and test. These vehicles will almost exclusively feature fly-by-wire flight control systems that may feature advanced response-types. The processes and requirements needed to certify these disparate vehicles for operation within the National Airspace System are still emerging. To aid in the requirements and certification process, a mission-oriented approach is being applied to define handling qualities mission task elements that will serve as a means of compliance with Part 23 certification requirements. I. Introduction Downloaded by David Klyde on June 8, 2020 | http://arc.aiaa.org DOI: 10.2514/6.2020-3285 The FAA knows how to certify civilian fly-by-wire aircraft as illustrated for the many models produced by Boeing, Airbus, Dassault, Gulfstream, Embraer, and Bombardier. Since the existing rules (i.e., 14 CFR Part 25) did not account for advanced fly-by wire technology, all of these certifications required a “patch” called special conditions.
