PHOTO CREDIT: Michael Fuchs January - June 2013 3 PRESIDENT’S MEMO My tenure as your President has flown by. It has been an extremely rewarding year, although there have been some significant challenges. The specter of fiscal sequestration in the US affected many government operations, with restrictions on government attendance at conferences, symposia and performing non- mission essential travel. This had the potential to wreck SETP’s model of putting on multiple regional symposia, and then selecting the best papers from each symposium to present at the Anaheim International Symposium and Banquet. Douglas Benjamin (F) We’ve run 7 symposia since sequestration hit: the The Boeing Company Southeast Section, at Eglin AFB; the West Coast Section SETP President at San Diego; the East Coast Section at NAS Patuxent River; the North America Flight Test Safety Workshop in New Orleans, the Northwest Section in Seattle, the Great Lakes Section in Dayton, and the European Section, held for the first time in spectacular Madrid. The Central Section symposium in Wichita finished the regional agenda, and we will have a presence at the Experimental Aviation Association’s AirVenture at Oshkosh. We were sweating attendance, and even being able to put on symposia – but you came through despite the challenges: for example, at the East Coast Section symposium, there were 224 attendees, including US Naval Test Pilot School students and midshipmen from the US Naval Academy. The thing I appreciate the most is the engagement and interaction of our

    Press Release

    National Aeronautic Association FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: David Ivey, 703-527-0226 E-Mail: [email protected] SpaceShipOne Team Named 2004 Collier Trophy Winner Arlington, VA – SpaceShipOne, the first-ever privately financed, manned spacecraft has won the prestigious Robert J. Collier Trophy Monday, taking its place alongside the greatest advances in aviation history. The Collier Trophy has been awarded each year since 1911 by the National Aeronautic Association “for the greatest achievement in aviation in America…” SpaceshipOne went into space for the first time on June 21, 2004, when Mike Melvill piloted the craft 100 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, an altitude considered to be the beginning of space. In the fall of last year, SS1 made a pair of return trips to space within a week of each other to earn the $10 million Ansari X-Prize, given to the first team to prove that civilian manned spaceflight is feasible. The amazing vehicle was designed and built by a small firm in Mojave, California, Scaled Composites, LLC, which was founded in 1982 by aircraft designer Burt Rutan. The cost of the project, about $26 million, was covered by investor Paul G. Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft. Capable of carrying a pilot and two passengers to space, SS1 is made primarily of graphite and epoxy. It reaches space much like a rocket would, traveling straight up at many times the speed of sound after being released from its carrier ship, White Knight. It featured the revolutionary idea of a “carefree” re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere, by reconfiguring its wings, which are then moved back into position to allow the pilot to glide the craft back to Earth.

    Sent: Monday, July 23, 2012 11:04 AM Subject: SEEING the arrival of private human space access 1. As we enter the second half of 2012, the imminence of commercial human space access is looming larger. Here's a survey article I wrote for an engineering magazine in January: http://www.jamesoberg.com/image/les_valentine_xcor_lynx_pm.jpg 2. The special pre-flight orientation and training needed to allow a brief space traveler to really 'see' what their eyes are being overwhelmed with was discussed in my article here http://www.txchnologist.com/2012/space-sight-how-can-you- prepare-to-see-earth-from-space with an excellent reader's comment link to another [purchase required] article here: http://www.aperture.org/exposures/?p=10220 3. SEEING from space is so visually striking that it cries out for more advance attention from a visual medium such as ours. It's beyond just crying out, "What a Beautiful View" -- it's being astonished anew: http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/downtime_on_the_high_frontier/ 4. To SEE for myself, I recently went walkabout at the Mojave, California, airport flight line to see the row of 'new space' companies preparing for private human access to sub-orbital space, and other destinations. http://www.jamesoberg.com/image/gateway_to_space.jpg 5. The 'star tenant' there is 'Scaled Composites', which under Burt Rutan [now retired] built SpaceShipOne to win the Ansari X-Prize. I was able to get a one-on-one off-the-record interview with Doug Shane, Rutan's successor http://www.jamesoberg.com/image/scaled_composites_director.jpg and he discussed their plans for a flying launch pad to deploy an upper stage to take medium-sized payloads [including manned spacecraft] into orbit in five years.

    Virgin Galactic Scaled Permit Press Release

    For Immediate Release FAA Launch Permit Gives Virgin Galactic’s Space Vehicles the Green Light for Powered Flight SpaceShipTwo Set to Go for Heavy-Weight Glide Tests with Supersonic Flight Targeted for Year End MOJAVE, Calif. – (May 29, 2012) Virgin Galactic, the world’s first commercial spaceline, announced today that its vehicle developer, Scaled Composites (Scaled), has been granted an experimental launch permit from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its suborbital spacecraft, SpaceshipTwo, and the carrier aircraft, WhiteKnightTwo. “This important milestone enables our team to progress to the rocket-powered phase of test flight, bringing us a major step closer to bringing our customers to space,” said George Whitesides, president and CEO of Virgin Galactic. “We thank the FAA for their timely issuance of this permit, and for their responsible oversight of the test program.” Already, SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo have made significant progress in their flight test program. With 80 test flights completed, WhiteKnightTwo is substantially through its test plan, while the more recently constructed SpaceShipTwo has safely completed sixteen free flights, including three that tested the vehicle’s unique “feathering” re-entry system. Additionally, ten test firings of the full scale SpaceShipTwo rocket motor, including full duration burns, have been safely and successfully completed. With this permit now in hand, Scaled is now authorized to press onward towards rocket- powered test flights. In preparation for those powered flights, SpaceShipTwo will soon return to flight, testing the aerodynamic performance of the spacecraft with the full weight of the rocket motor system on board. Integration of key rocket motor components, already begun during a now-concluding period of downtime for routine maintenance, will continue into the autumn.

    With Burt Rutan's Race to Space, Dan Linehan Tells the Dramatic Story Of

    With Burt Rutan’s Race to Space, Dan Linehan tells the dramatic story of Burt Rutan’s pioneering aviation work that has included building a racing biplane, the X Prize–winning SpaceShipOne and Voyager, the first airplane to fly around the world. Linehan gives Rutan the credit he is due as one of the architects of twenty-first century private space travel. As he did with his earlier book, SpaceShipOne: An Illustrated History, Linehan also shows himself to be an engaging writer who combines scientific know-how with behind-the- scenes reporting that makes this book read like an adventure story. —Paul G. Allen, co-winner of the Ansari X Prize Dan has done a fabulous job of describing the incredible journey of one of the most accomplished aircraft designers of all time, Burt Rutan. If you weren’t impressed by Burt before now, you certainly will be after reading this absolutely fascinating story of the incredible journey of Burt Rutan—from a young model airplane champion to legendaryCOPY aircraft designer among the ranks of Douglas, Heinemann, Lockheed, and Kelly Johnson. I personally read it from one end to the other and loved it. This is a book you will read from cover to cover without being able to put it down. What a fascinating story of the aircraft designer of our time, Burt Rutan. His accomplishments as an aircraft designer and builder revolutionized the way airplanes are made.
