The ArkanSTOL executive team announced that its annual event and competition would be suspended indefinitely.
They cited “evolving professional and personal responsibilities” as the cause, which is certainly a believable statement with the amount of commitment and planning that these grassroot aviation outings require. This unfortunate, yet understandable decision follows last year’s uniquely successful event. Stratolaunch recently completed a set of flight tests aimed to expand the envelope of its Roc air launch aircraft. With a 385 foot wingspan, the Roc is larger than any other aircraft to date. This series of flight tests were held during May and June. They confirmed Roc’s ability to support speeds up to Mach 0.63, operate at altitudes up to 35,000 feet, and return to flight with a shortened break period. NASA has released an updated set of potential landing sites near the Lunar South Pole for its crewed Artemis III mission to return humans to the moon for the first time in over fifty years. NASA is preparing for the mission by using imaging data collected by the Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) vehicle to identify potential landing sites not only for Artemis III but also for missions beyond. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
