In addition to the C-390, South Korea will buy more F-35A fighters

In addition to buying Embraer's C-390, South Korea will buy 20 more Lockheed Martin F-35A stealth fighters by 2028.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/04/2023 - 22:33 in Military

South Korea chose the U.S.-based Lockheed Martin Aeronautics F-35A as its stealth aircraft as part of the country's project to introduce next-generation fighters.

The Administration of the South Korean Defense Acquisition Program (DAPA) announced on Monday the decision to bring 20 more units of the F-35A poacher fighters by 2028 as part of the second phase of the country's Fighter eXperimental (F-X) project, which will cost about 4.26 trillion won ($3.3 billion).

The decision comes after the country has already purchased 40 F-35A stealth fighters in the first phase of the FX project, which were fully deployed in January last year.

The stealth fighter is a key military feature of the country's Kill Chain, part of South Korea's Three-axis system, designed to combat North Korea's growing nuclear and missile threats.

This morning, in a surprising move, the South Korean weapons acquisition agency chose the C-390 Millennium, a military transport plane manufactured by the Brazilian aeronautical company Embraer, winning the Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules and the Airbus A400M Atlas.

In the first phase of the FX project, Seoul chose the U.S. four-engine C-130J turboprop military transport plane, which was again expected to be the country's choice in the second phase.

The country will spend about 710 billion won ($444.3 million) to buy additional military transport aircraft by 2026, according to DAPA.

South Korea, technically at war with North Korea 70 years after an armistice, has been carrying out the project to replace old fighters since 2012, as part of the country's efforts to build the Three Axis system.

The system, introduced in response to the Pyeongyang fifth nuclear test in 2016, aims to defend the country's territory by developing a Kill Chain to preventively attack the source of an attack; intercept incoming missiles using Korea's Air and Missile Defense (KAMD); and employ Korea's Massive Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR) campaign to eliminate the opponent's command and control.

Being one of the three axes of the system, the goal of the Kill Chain is to preventively eliminate North Korea's military threat before the launch of a missile. Stealth aircraft play a key role in the Kill Chain system.

But South Korea lacks reconnaissance capabilities, so it is buying the stealth jets abroad.

The plans of the fourth and second phases for the mass production of K21 infantry combat vehicles and light attack helicopters (LAH), respectively, were also approved on Monday, according to DAPA.

The K21 infantry combat vehicle was developed by South Korea's national technology to replace the K200A1 infantry combat vehicles.

The country is also developing LAHs with its proprietary technology to replace the 500MD and AH-1S military helicopters, a 5.7 trillion won (US$ 4.4 billion) project that will last until 2031.

Hanwha Systems Co., a South Korean developer of defense and IT systems, is developing and supplying key components, including a target acquisition designation system (TADS) and an electro-optical system that supports reconnaissance and attack missions, for the country's LAHs.

Market Restraint

Supply Chain Disruptions Caused by the COVID-19 Outbreak to Stall Market Growth

The rocket and missile market growth is likely to get hampered throughout 2020 by the outbreak of the COVID-19 contagion. The pandemic has led to unforeseen shocks to supply chains worldwide, crippling defense manufacturing activities around the globe. For instance, the Italian shipbuilding company, Fincantieri, was forced to halt its operations in March 2020 as the coronavirus spread like wildfire around the world. Accentuating these disruptions is the suspension of business development activities in the defense sector. For example, planned expos such as the EUROSATORY 2020, where procurement contracts are finalized, now face an uncertain future, further affecting this industry. Moreover, major players in rockets and missiles domain are also witnessing a sharp fall in their stock prices. For instance, between February and March, stock value of the Thales Group fell by 33%, while Leonardo’s declined by 55%. The cascading effect of the coronavirus pandemic is, therefore, expected to negative on this growth in the immediate future.

RocketStar ready for second suborbital flight attempt

https://sciencespies.com/space/rocketstar-ready-for-second-suborbital-flight-attempt/

RocketStar ready for second suborbital flight attempt

TAMPA, Fla. — New York-based RocketStar plans to launch its aerospike-powered rocket for the first time this fall, carrying a prototype satellite for resource-mapping startup Lunasonde on a brief suborbital trip.

The 12-meter rocket that RocketStar calls Cowbell aims to reach 21,000 meters on its test flight, depending on final safety requirements from NASA for launching from Launch Complex 48 — a multi-use launchpad in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Although RocketStar estimates this mission will only last eight minutes, Lunasonde expects that will be enough time for its onboard subsurface radar imager to collect valuable reflectance data to support its development.

RocketStar had planned to launch Cowbell on its first suborbital launch in early 2019 to test what the company has described as a proprietary aerospike engine. After receiving regulatory approval to launch Cowbell from a floating barge off the coast of Florida, RocketStar canceled the mission three days ahead of liftoff citing safety concerns.

Since then, RocketStar has said little publicly about its plans as it pivoted to what it sees as a safer launch from a pad on dry land.

“Between COVID and finding the right pad, it’s taken that long to adapt the sea-launch idea to a land-based launch,” RocketStar founder Christopher Craddock told SpaceNews.

Debut launch

Craddock said RocketStar decided internally not to broadcast its development progress until after it launched.

“We felt it’d be better to just do it, and then say, ‘OK guys we did our first one, this is what happened, we’d love to see you at the next one,’” he said.

A former Wall Street broker, Craddock founded RocketStar to develop a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) launch vehicle powered by a 3D-printed aerospike engine.

“The current plan is to use a toroidal [aerospike] engine for orbital insertion with our development campaign, and then still using toroidal when we go commercial,” he said.

Aerospike engines, a novel design first tested in the 1960s, were at the heart of NASA’s experimental X-33 suborbital spaceplane program and its envisioned SSTO follow-on VentureStar. However, NASA and Lockheed Martin pulled the plug on X-33 and VentureStar in the early 2000s without finishing or flying either vehicle.

“No aerospike has flown under its own power, pretty much ever, and if it has it’s only been to like 50,000 feet [about 15,000 meters],” Cradock added.

Although RocketStar’s first suborbital launch will take place from land, Craddock said lifting off from sea remains attractive from a “launch cadence perspective.”

The venture also intends to later provide propulsion solutions to other companies.

“It just seems like a good piece of the business we want to chase after, but in no way is going to stop us from going SSTO [single-stage-to-orbit] or creating a small satellite launcher,” he said.

Earth mapping

Lunasonde, which its CEO Jeremiah Pate said is not a paying customer on RocketStar’s inaugural launch, is developing plans for a constellation of satellites that will map resources under the Earth’s surface

Pate said the payload on Cowbell has all the flight hardware of an operational satellite, “with the only major difference being that the power is supplied by the rocket instead of the solar panel” on the spacecraft.

“The technology on this flight works similar to a conventional radar but works at a frequency over 1000 times lower by using our novel metamaterial antenna,” he said in an email.

“This frequency band (VLF/ULF) is what allows us to see deep underground at high resolution.”

Lunasonde has lined up Rocket Lab to launch another satellite to low Earth orbit next year that will be operational, according to Pate, capable of seeing up to 2 kilometers below land surfaces and 500 meters below water.

“The latter satellite will be both a technology demonstration as well as providing underground data to a small number of pilot project customers,” he said.

“This satellite will also be the first satellite in a constellation of subsurface imaging spacecraft, eventually capable of mapping the entire planet down to 10 kilometers on a biweekly basis, providing data to industries such as water resources, mining, and geothermal. Ultimately, this allows us to tap into a completely new dataset that has previously eluded the revolution that earth observation spacecraft have achieved.”

Guarding against new cyber threats

TriSept, a launch integration and mission management specialist that counts U.S. civil, military and intelligence agencies among its customers, also plans to use Cowbell’s suborbital flight to trial software designed to protect satellites against growing cyber threats.

Its newly developed TriSept Secure Embedded Linux (TSEL) software, which the company said can protect large and small satellites from known and emerging vulnerabilities, will serve as the operating system for Lunasonde’s prototype satellite, aiming to test its performance under flight conditions.

TSEL hopes to get full flight heritage next year when it serves as the operating system for the Lunasonde satellite heading to LEO with Rocket Lab.

The software is currently in advanced lab tests and functional trials with Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

TSEL currently needs to be added to satellites before they launch, however, TriSept Rob Spicer CEO told SpaceNews that its next generation could be uploaded to in-orbit, software-defined satellites to bolster security.

Key to TSEL’s automated mechanisms for improving cybersecurity defenses are its “zero trust” verification layers, which the company said gives operators an accurate picture of what is happening on the satellite at all times.

The vast majority of the thousands of small satellites increasingly crowding LEO for communications, Earth imagery and other applications are ill-prepared for increasingly sophisticated security threats, according to Spicer.

Sikorsky delivers third King Stallion helicopter to the U.S. Marine Corps

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 07/16/2022 - 5:29 PM in Helicopters

Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky delivered the third CH-53K low production rate (LRIP) helicopter ahead of schedule to the U.S. Marine Corps.

This aircraft, built at Sikorsky's digital factory, is the first CH-53K of the Lot 2 LRIP contract granted by the U.S. Navy in 2019 and the seventh overall delivered to the fleet. The heavy load capacities of the CH-53K exceed all other U.S. Department of Defense rotary wing platforms and is the only heavy-duty helicopter that will remain in production until 2032 and beyond.

This CH-53K heavy-duty helicopter joins the six in operation at the New River Marine Corps Air Station in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The CH-53K is the only sea-based long-range heavy cargo helicopter in production and will immediately provide three times the lifting capacity of its predecessor.

Sikorsky's CH-53K production line.

“This CH-53K aircraft built in Connecticut is a credit to our employees and their skills, adopting digital tools and other advanced technologies to continue Sikorsky's legacy of building modern, safe and reliable rotary-wing aircraft. Our national supply chain supports the active production line as we prepare to deliver two more CH-53K helicopters later this year," said Bill Falk, director of the Sikorsky CH-53K program. “We look forward to continuing our progress towards next year's full rate production decision.”

Earlier this year, Sikorsky secured a contract to build 12 CH-53K heavy cargo helicopters for Israel under a U.S. Navy Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreement.

The signed letter of offer and acceptance (LOA) between the U.S. government and Israel states that the first deliveries of the baseline aircraft are planned for 2025.

CH-53K helicopters will also replace the Israeli Air Force (IAF) fleet of modified CH-53D Yasur helicopters, which have been in Israel's inventory for more than 50 years. The new CH-53K offers state-of-the-art modern features that result in greater survivability, safety and reduced air crew workload compared to its predecessor, making it the perfect fit for the IAF's demanding mission.

The VentureStar Spaceplane

The VentureStar was a very strange concept and design meant to continue the Space Shuttle program, but it unfortunately never saw the light of day. Designed by Lockheed Martin, it held the promise of being cheaper and safer than the Space Shuttle, but ended up being too complicated of a task to engineer. Still, it left us with an interesting story of its design, and inevitable cancellation.

The VentureStar was meant to be an unmanned, single-stage, reusable spaceplane able to carry cargo to low Earth orbit. In order to test this concept, a prototype about 1/3 of the size was designed, the X-33, and was even 40% built by the time the project was cancelled. One of the technologies tested was the XRS-2200 Linear Aerospike engines, which were much more aerodynamically efficient than most rocket engines. But while the engines were the defining feature of the spaceplane, the most challenging part to design turned out to be the fuel tank.

The first fuel tank designed for the X-33, a composite LH2 tank, failed testing. This original design was protested by many of the engineers, saying that large composite structures were incredibly difficult to create. A second LH2 tank was designed, and again failed testing. Eventually, the idea of a composite tank was scrapped in favor of an Al-Li LH2 tank. While this had a much better chance of working, this concept was shut down in the House of Representatives, since one of the main goals of the program was to test new technologies. If a composite tank couldn’t be tested, then it couldn’t complete its mission. Of course, the fact that it would have costed more than a composite tank didn’t help.

The X-33 project, along with the rest of the VentureStar project, was shut down in 2001 over funding disagreements regarding the fuel tank. Approximately 1.5 billion dollars was spent in this project, but all of the new technologies involved were discarded. While the Air Force tried to restart the program in 2012, this idea was quickly shot down.

Who knows what would have happened to the program if it was allowed to have an Al-Li LH2 tank, perhaps it would have succeeded in being a cheaper, safer replacement for the Space Shuttle, or maybe it was always doomed to fail. Personally, I would have loved to see this strange spaceplane fly.

Observatories Combine to Crack Open the Crab Nebula Astronomers have produced a highly detailed image of the Crab Nebula, by combining data from telescopes spanning nearly the entire breadth of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves seen by the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) to the powerful X-ray glow as seen by the orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory. And, in between that range of wavelengths, the Hubble Space Telescope's crisp visible-light view, and the infrared perspective of the Spitzer Space Telescope. The Crab Nebula, the result of a bright supernova explosion seen by Chinese and other astronomers in the year 1054, is 6,500 light-years from Earth. At its center is a super-dense neutron star, rotating once every 33 milliseconds, shooting out rotating lighthouse-like beams of radio waves and light -- a pulsar (the bright dot at image center). The nebula's intricate shape is caused by a complex interplay of the pulsar, a fast-moving wind of particles coming from the pulsar, and material originally ejected by the supernova explosion and by the star itself before the explosion. This image combines data from five different telescopes: the VLA (radio) in red; Spitzer Space Telescope (infrared) in yellow; Hubble Space Telescope (visible) in green; XMM-Newton (ultraviolet) in blue; and Chandra X-ray Observatory (X-ray) in purple. The new VLA, Hubble, and Chandra observations all were made at nearly the same time in November of 2012. A team of scientists led by Gloria Dubner of the Institute of Astronomy and Physics (IAFE), the National Council of Scientific Research (CONICET), and the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina then made a thorough analysis of the newly revealed details in a quest to gain new insights into the complex physics of the object. They are reporting their findings in the Astrophysical Journal. "Comparing these new images, made at different wavelengths, is providing us with a wealth of new detail about the Crab Nebula. Though the Crab has been studied extensively for years, we still have much to learn about it," Dubner said. The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., in Washington. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, manages the Chandra program for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, controls Chandra's science and flight operations. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, manages the Spitzer Space Telescope for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Science operations are conducted at the Spitzer Science Center at Caltech in Pasadena. Spacecraft operations are based at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Littleton, Colorado. Data are archived at the Infrared Science Archive housed at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at Caltech. Caltech manages JPL for NASA. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the National Science Foundation, operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc. IMAGE....In the summer of the year 1054 AD, Chinese astronomers saw a new "guest star," that appeared six times brighter than Venus. So bright in fact, it could be seen during the daytime for several months. This "guest star" was forgotten about until 700 years later with the advent of telescopes. Astronomers saw a tentacle-like nebula in the place of the vanished star and called it the Crab Nebula. Today we know it as the expanding gaseous remnant from a star that self-detonated as a supernova, briefly shining as brightly as 400 million suns. The explosion took place 6,500 light-years away. If the blast had instead happened 50 light-years away it would have irradiated Earth, wiping out most life forms. In the late 1960s astronomers discovered the crushed heart of the doomed star, an ultra-dense neutron star that is a dynamo of intense magnetic field and radiation energizing the nebula. Astronomers therefore need to study the Crab Nebula across a broad range of electromagnetic radiation, from X-rays to radio waves. This image combines data from five different telescopes: the VLA (radio) in red; Spitzer Space Telescope (infrared) in yellow; Hubble Space Telescope (visible) in green; XMM-Newton (ultraviolet) in blue; and Chandra X-ray Observatory (X-ray) in purple.
