    Ariane 5’s First 2020 Launch is a Success Kourou, January 16, 2020 For its first launch of the year, Ariane 5 placed two telecommunications satellites in orbit: EUTELSAT KONNECT for Eutelsat and GSAT-30 for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) This was the 251st flight of an Ariane launcher, which celebrated its 40th anniversary on December 24, 2019 Arianespace, operator of the Ariane rocket, has scheduled 10 launches by 2022, including four more in 2020 For its first launch of the year from the European spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, Ariane 5 placed two satellites in geostationary transfer orbit (GTO): the EUTELSAT KONNECT satellite for Eutelsat and the GSAT-30 satellite for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The total performance required of the launcher was 7,888 kg, including 6,976 kg for the two satellites injected into an orbit inclined 6° to the equator. “This successful first launch kicks off a special year for the Ariane sector because 2020 is the year of the inaugural flight of Ariane 6, which will be gradually taking over from Ariane 5 through to 2023. Ariane 5 will continue to demonstrate its incredible reliability for a further 10 flights, while series production of the first Ariane 6 models is underway at the industrial sites of ArianeGroup and its partners in Europe,” said André-Hubert Roussel, CEO of ArianeGroup. “As this new year begins, I wish to extend my very best wishes for success and my thanks for their commitment to all the engineers, technicians and colleagues in ArianeGroup, all of our industrial partners, and our launch- operator subsidiary, Arianespace.

  • The Journey to Mars: How Donna Shirley Broke Barriers for Women in Space Engineering
    The Journey to Mars: How Donna Shirley Broke Barriers for Women in Space Engineering Laurel Mossman, Kate Schein, and Amelia Peoples Senior Division Group Documentary Word Count: 499 Our group chose the topic, Donna Shirley and her Mars rover, because of our connections and our interest level in not only science but strong, determined women. One of our group member’s mothers worked for a man under Ms. Shirley when she was developing the Mars rover. This provided us with a connection to Ms. Shirley, which then gave us the amazing opportunity to interview her. In addition, our group is interested in the philosophy of equality and we have continuously created documentaries that revolve around this idea. Every member of our group is a female, so we understand the struggles and discrimination that women face in an everyday setting and wanted to share the story of a female that faced these struggles but overcame them. Thus after conducting a great amount of research, we fell in love with Donna Shirley’s story. Lastly, it was an added benefit that Ms. Shirley is from Oklahoma, making her story important to our state. All of these components made this topic extremely appealing to us. We conducted our research using online articles, Donna Shirley’s autobiography, “Managing Martians”, news coverage from the launch day, and our interview with Donna ​ ​ Shirley. We started our research process by reading Shirley’s autobiography. This gave us insight into her college life, her time working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and what it was like being in charge of such a barrier-breaking mission.

Generally domain Aircraft uses conventional fuel. These fuel having limited life, high cost and pollutant. Also nowadays price of petrol and other fuels are going to be higher, because of scarcity of those fuels. So there is great demand of use of non-exhaustible unlimited source of energy like solar energy. Solar aircraft is one of the ways to utilize solar energy. Solar aircraft uses solar panel to collect the solar radiation for immediate use but it also store the remaining part for the night flight. This paper intended to stimulate research on renewable energy sources for aviation. In future solar powered air planes could be used for different types of aerial momitoring and unmanned flights. This review paper brietly shows history, application and use of solar aircraft. We are focusing on design and fabrication of solar aircraft which is unmanned prototype. Keywords: Solar energy, Reynolds number, Bernoulli’s principle 1. INTRODUCTION Energy comes in different forms. Light is a form of energy. Sun is source of energy called “sunlight”. Sunshine is free and never gets used up Also. There is a lot of it. The sunlight that heats the Earth in an hour has more energy than the people of the world use in a year.
