NASA astronaut and Expedition 46 Commander Scott Kelly and his Russian counterpart returned to Earth on Tuesday after a historic 340-day mission aboard the International Space Station.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in part, “Scott Kelly’s one-year mission aboard the International Space Station has helped to advance deep space exploration and America’s Journey to Mars.” The American Legend Aircraft Company announced the successful testing of a new Super Legend HP aircraft to be used in the Greg Koontz Airshow flying routine. Pilot and performer, Greg Koontz, concluded the tests of the Super Legend by successfully landing the aircraft on top of a modified pickup truck as it sped down the runway. The new Super Legend will be the featured aircraft in Greg Koontz’ “Alabama Boys / World’s Smallest Airport” airshow act. The Air Force has entered into a public-private partnership with United Launch Alliance and Blue Origin to develop a new rocket propulsion system to power ULA's Vulcan launch system. This means their launch vehicle will be powered by an American-made engine rather than the Russian RD-180 engine. ULA has been investing
in the development of the Vulcan rocket for more than a year. This agreement will enhance the company's progress to integrate the BE-4 engine with the Vulcan launch vehicle. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
