Aerospace Insider Podcast: Episode 2 (Creating Ingenuity)

Although NASA’s Perseverance rover landed on Mars, it can’t begin its task of analyzing and caching samples of Martian rocks and soil until it dispatches the little hitchhiker in its belly, known as the Mars Helicopter Ingenuity. This tiny rotorcraft could point the way toward a whole new way to explore the red planet. Cat Hofacker spoke to Bob Balaram, the chief engineer for Ingenuity.

AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series: Firing Up The Artemis I Rocket

This AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series webinar is hosted by AIAA and presented by NASA.

Join us for a virtual briefing with NASA as it prepares for the first integrated flight of the

Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion for the Artemis I mission to bring humanity back to the moon. Get a behind-the-scenes update on the progress of the Artemis Program and Green Run testing of the world’s most powerful rocket with John Blevins, SLS Chief Engineer, NASA.

The next SLS Artemis milestone will occur when NASA hot fires all four of the SLS stage’s boosters in an 8-minute test called the Green Run Hot Fire. The SLS rocket’s 212-foot-tall core stage will be used for all configurations of the SLS rocket, and the series of eight hot-fire tests will verify that the stage is ready for the first and future Artemis lunar missions.

The presentation will include a brief overview of the Artemis Program, what makes the SLS uniquely suited for these missions, and a status update on Artemis I, II, and III.

This webinar is open to the public and free of charge.

SciTechxWebinar: Flying Is Safe—Is Air Travel?

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on commercial aviation and the over 65 million jobs directly and indirectly connected. The aerospace industry is not simply waiting for the pandemic to pass but is actively seeking and testing data to drive solutions today.

This two-part webinar was facilitated by well-known aerospace journalist Miles O’Brien and AIAA Executive Director Dan Dumbacher.

In Part I we heard from leaders of the global air travel ecosystem on how they are working together to build the traveling public’s confidence back with real data and communication.

Part II took a deeper technical dive into what and how data within the global air travel ecosystem are being tested, what are the results, and what are the next steps to ensure that not just flying is safe, but air travel is too.
