This is the youngest of the KNTU faculties. The core of the faculty was formed as Aerospace group in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in the year 2000. It provided MSc programs in aerodynamics, propulsion, flight dynamics and aerospace structures. In the year 2001, it launched the first MSc program in space machinery engineering in [...]
The Faculty is one of the largest of the eight faculties at TU Delft and one of the largest faculties devoted entirely to aerospace engineering in northern Europe. It is the only institute carrying out research and education directly related to aerospace engineering in the Netherlands. Through the years, the Faculty has responded to the [...]
One of the primary duties of the former NASDA body was the testing of new space technologies, mostly in the field of communication. The first test satellite was ETS-I,launched in 1975. However during the 1990s NASDA was hit by bad luck with the problems surrounding the ETS-VI and COMETS missions. Nevertheless testing of communication technologies [...]
Extensive laboratory and testing facilities are used in research and teaching. The facilities include supersonic, hypersonic and subsonic wind-tunnels, a high-sensitivity navigation simulator, and a materials testing laboratory. These facilities make it possible to conduct experiments in man-machine factors, flight control, structures and materials, aerodynamics, simulation, motion and navigation. The faculty owns and makes use [...]
Prior to his capture at Israel’s border with Lebanon, Ehud “Udi” Goldwasser lived in Nahariya. He worked at Technion, the Israeli Institute of Technology, from which he earned a degree in aerospace engineering studies. As a teenager, Udi lived in South Africa with his parents, Shlomo and Mickey, and two younger brothers. He was married [...]
CIRA is developing spaceplane technology using its facilities for numerical simulation and ground tests, and has flown its first transonic flight test of an “flying test-bed” (FTB) vehicle dropped from a high-altitude balloon. CIRA intends to develop FTB vehicles by 2012 that can perform atmospheric reentry from low Earth orbit, launched using the Vega space [...]
A native of Grenada, Thompson received his Bachelor’s degree in Physics in 1961 and his Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering in 1963 from Mississippi State University. He received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1971. Adapted from the Wikipedia article Joe F. Thompson, under the G. N. U. Free Documentation [...]
The 40-acre ITEC site in northern Kent County is located in Smyrna, Delaware, shared with Big Oak County Park. Construction began in 2003 in four phases. The Environmental Outpost was completed first. It hosts Mountjoy observatory , the second-largest telescope in the State of Delaware. Currently, the rest of ITEC is still under construction. The [...]
The SSVOBB is a non-profit-foundation of students in Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology in Delft, Netherlands dedicated to building aircraft with historic or scientific value. Main objective is to apply the knowledge acquired as an engineer to real aircraft. Thus improving the graduates with knowledge of the actual work on aircraft instead of [...]
Colombia is one of the few Latin American countries to have satellites in orbit, since April 7, 2007 when Libertad I (CubeSat), was sent from Baikonur cosmodrome, to orbit around the planet offering telemetry information and as a research purpose. It represents a milestone in the history of Colombia and the first step of the [...]
Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands is the merger of two interrelated disciplines, aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Aeronautical engineering works specifically with aircraft or aeronautics. Astronautical engineering works specifically with spacecraft or astronautics. At the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, both of the fields are directly addressed along [...]
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (中國航天科技集團公司)(CASC) is the main contractor for the Chinese space program. It is state-owned and has a number of subordinate entities which design, develop and manufacture a range of spacecraft, launch vehicles, strategic and tactical missile systems, and ground equipment. It was officially established in July 1999 as part of [...]
