A Switzerland-based spaceflight company is finalizing plans with Canada over a potential launch site for a new private space plane, which is slated to launch a satellite to clean up space junk by 2018. The company, Swiss Space Systems (S3), plans to launch the new Clean Space One satellite using the European Suborbital Reusable Shuttle, a small space plane the firm is developing for low-cost launches off the back of a modified Airbus A300 jumbo jet. CleanSpace One is a 66-pound (30 kilograms) technology demonstration spacecraft designed to link up with Switzerland's out-of-commission SwissCube nanosatellite — a small cube that measures 3.93 inches (10 centimeters) on each side — and safely de-orbit the target craft. The mission aims to demonstrate orbital identification and rendezvous with an uncooperative target and has an estimated cost of about 15 million Swiss Francs ($16 million). CleanSpace One is chasing its target, one of the CubeSats launched by Swit...

When you think of the first airplane, who do you think about? Most people think about Orville and Wilbur Wright. And, December 17, 1903 is the day to remember. That was the day that Orville won the toss of the coin. He made the first successful powered flight in history! The place was Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The Wright Brothers' dream of inventing a flying machine had come true. It all started when Orville was 7 and Wilbur was 11 years old. Their father, Bishop Milton Wright, gave them a toy helicopter. It really flew. That toy made them dream of flying. Their parents helped them go after their dreams. Their mother, Susan K. Wright, was good with mechanical things. She went to college in Indiana. Very few women went to college at that time. She was very good in both math and science classes. Her boys learned a lot from her. The boys still wanted to know about flight as they grew up. They read everything they could find about it. They studied what other people lear...

Asking the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to indigenously develop and produce a Man-Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missile (MPATGM) for the Army, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has decided to cancel the $500 million deal for Spike ATGM with Israel. The deal, seen as another proof of growing Indo-Israel defence cooperation, was expected to be signed after price negotiations with Rafael Advanced Defence Systems of Israel were completed last year. In anticipation of this deal, Rafael had entered into a joint venture with Kalyani group for missile production in India. The missile sub-systems manufacturing facility, based near Hyderabad, was inaugurated in August. Ministry sources told The Indian Express that the decision to cancel the deal was based on the consideration that importing a foreign ATGM at this stage would adversely impact the programme for indigenous development of the weapon system by DRDO. Earlier, India had also rejected an offer from US-based Ray...

There is to ways to listen it,either you can hear from cockpit or ATC(Aircraft Traffic Control) Second option is more appropriate. So here i’m sharing link for that which are Incredibly amazing. Listen to Live ATC (Air Traffic Control) Communications Where you can search by Frequency , Airport/ARTCC Code So it’s easy to search for your wish. Second amazing link to see live aircraft traffic. This is amazing website I haven’t see before I am sure for this you blesses me. Flightradar24.com - Live flight tracker! Enjoy your day and learning. Thank you for reading !

LONDON:  A chinese area station may want to destroy into a prime city early subsequent 12 months, the eu area employer stated. specialists claimed that the 8.five-tonne Tiangong-1, or “Heavenly Palace”, has long gone out of control and headed in the direction of the earth, The solar stated. The 'forthcoming' crash could take region "any spot" among  range strains in the northern and southern hemispheres, professionals said. The station, which is 12 metres lengthy, could crash between January and March, they claimed. specialists said the big apple, los angeles, Beijing, Rome, Istanbul and Tokyo are among essential towns that might be at chance. however, they claimed Britain might be safe. 'The ability effect region is so large that citizens shouldn't be too involved about impending dying from above,' the file said citing specialists. “owing to the geometry of the station’s orbit, we are able to already exclude the pos...

WELCOME All the calculations show it can't work. There's only one thing to do: make it work. — Pierre Georges Latécoère, early French aviation entrepreneur. The different types of airplane engines can be divided into three categories. Aircraft designers keep looking for ways to make planes go higher and faster on less fuel. Airplane Engine Background Ever since Wilber and Orville flew over the sands of North Carolina, aircraft designers have been trying different types of airplane engines. The purpose of airplane engines is to provide thrust to push an aircraft through the air and overcome the force of drag. Designers are concerned with the amount of power or thrust produced, the weight of the engines, fuel consumption and cost. The different types of aircraft engines have evolved into three main categories. Piston Engines The first airplane engines were of the piston or reciprocating type and this type of engine is still in use today. Piston engines were the o...

What are the different types of airplanes? You may be wondering why there are so many different types of airplanes out there. What makes them different from each other? We'll take a quick look at what makes each of the following airplanes unique: Cargo/Transport Airplanes Experimental Concept Airplanes Fighter/Military Airplanes Passenger Airplanes Cargo/Transport Airplanes Cargo/transport airplanes have a lot of room inside them to carry things that would ordinarily be too large or too heavy to carry on other types of airplanes. Sometimes these planes carry trucks, packages, construction equipment, or even other airplanes! Since cargo/transport airplanes are so big they usually have large, powerful engines to help get themselves off the ground. Because of their large cargo bays, a few of these planes are a little unusual-looking. It's no wonder that the "Guppy" and the "Beluga" are named that way - they look like huge fish! Sometimes p...
