Canadian-Built Robotic Arm Aids Assessment

The Soyuz MS-22 capsule possibly damaged by a micrometeorite was inspected by crewmembers aboard the International Space Station on Sunday, 18 December 2022. Roscosmos, Russia’s space corporation and arbiter of all Russian Federation extraterrestrial activities, reported a Canadian-built robotic arm had been used to photograph the Soyuz capsule, which had previously been determined to be afflicted with a coolant leak. The images captured by dint of the robotic arm were transmitted to Earth, where engineers are currently about the business of analyzing them in conjunction with additional data for purpose of determining how best to deal with the logistical problems occasioned by the Soyuz capsule&rsqu

On 16 August 1960, 32-year-old USAF Pilot,Captain Joe Kittinger, kitted out in a pressure-suit and a specially constructed and rigged parachute—boarded a gondola tethered to a helium balloon, ascended to 102,800-feet above the New Mexico desert—and jumped. During the ensuing four-minute 36-second free-fall, Kittinger’s body accelerated to 614-miles-per-hour. At 14,000 feet, Captain Kittinger deployed his 28-foot main parachute and—in addition to setting records for the highest parachute jump and longest free-fall the world had yet seen—pr

ura Aero has obtained the approval of the French Gliding Federation for their purchase of an electric INTEGRAL. The Federation will use their new aircraft as a glider tow for a local club. The electric operation will help to minimize sound pollution, carbon emissions. While such reductions are dandy, the most important aspect to young students and cash-strapped gliding enthusiasts is the cost of electric operation over avgas-powered tow planes. On 02 December 2022, the United States Air Force rolled out its new, long-range, intercontinental, stealth, strategic bomber du

Pilot’s Discretion

When used in conjunction with altitude assignments, means that ATC has offered the pilot the option of starting climb or descent whenever he/she wishes and conducting the climb or descent at any rate he/she wishes. He/she may temporarily level off at any intermediate altitude. However, once he/she has vacated an altitude, he/she may not return to that altitude.

“When we [first responders] arrived, we were pleased that we didn’t see a big plume of smoke, nothing like that, so we felt like, ‘OK, thoughts and prayers with the pilot, maybe they’re going to be fine.’” Source: White Settlement, Texas, police chief Chris Cook comments about arriving on the scene of an F-35B mishap.
