Boeing 737 passenger jet is forced to make emergency landing just minutes after take-off in latest safety issue to hit the manufacturers' aircraft

>yes, again today

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13403389/boeing-737-passenger-forced-emergency-landing-safety-issue.html

A Boeing 737 passenger jet was forced to make an emergency landing just minutes after takeoff from a Japanese airport this morning amid safety concerns - the fourth incident to plague the under-fire aircraft maker in just three days.

Flight 166, a 737 jet operated by United Airlines carrying 50 passengers, took off from Fukuoka Airport in southwestern Japan and headed for Guam - only to turn back minutes later when pilots declared an emergency. The plane landed back on the tarmac at Fukuoka around 11:45am local time (3:45am UK time) after a wing flap was found to be malfunctioning. No casualties were reported.

Yesterday, a total of 190 people were evacuated from a Boeing 737-800 belonging to Turkey-based Corendon Airlines whose tyre burst as it came into land at Gazipasa airport near the Mediterranean coastal town of Alanya.

Pictures from the scene today the stationary aircraft on the tarmac flanked by emergency vehicles - its front wheels and landing gear crumpled underneath. That came just hours after shocking footage emerged showing the moment terrified passengers fled a burning Boeing 737-300 jet carrying 78 passengers that skidded off the runway and caught fire during take-off in Senegal.

And on Wednesday, a Boeing 767 cargo plane operated by FedEx made an emergency landing at Istanbul Airport after its front landing gear failed, with dramatic video showing the nose of the plane skidding across the runway sending sparks and smoke trailing through the air. There is no suggestion that Boeing is responsible for the mishaps, but such incidents will only compound woes for the company already facing intense scrutiny over safety concerns - as well as the deaths of two whistleblowers just two months apart.

Boeing has also been accused of letting safety lapse as it obsesses over 'woke' diversity targets in staffing, as well as over-paying executives working from home.

Current CEO Dave Calhoun announced in March he would be stepping down at the end of this year in a management overhaul, with share prices plunging.

And passengers are said to be deliberately changing flights to avoid Boeing's fleet or travelling with anti-anxiety medication.

FIVE CMEs ARE HEADING FOR EARTH: Great sunspot AR3664 has hurled an astonishing five CMEs toward Earth. They're all in this frenetic 2-day coronagraph movie from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO):

The two bright objects are Jupiter (left) and Venus (right). The CMEs will miss those planets and hit Earth instead.

According to a NOAA forecast model, the first three CMEs could merge for form a "Cannibal CME." Cannibal CMEs form when fast-moving CMEs overtake and gobble up slower CMEs in front of them. Internal shock waves created by such CME collisions do an good job sparking geomagnetic storms when they strike Earth's magnetic field.

The Cannibal CME is expected to arrive on May 11th. It alone could spark a strong (G3) geomagnetic storm. With two more CMEs following close behind, storm levels could become extreme (G4), sparking auroras at mid- to low-latitudes across Europe and the USA.

Haiti: Voodoo attracting more believers as gang violence surge

Amid the spiraling chaos, a growing number of Haitians are praying more or visiting Vodou priests known as Oungans for urgent requests ranging from locating loved ones who were kidnapped to finding critical medication needed to keep someone alive.

Vodou was at the root of the revolution that led Haiti to become the world's first free Black republic, a religion born in West Africa and brought across the Atlantic by slaves. The syncretic religion that melds Catholicism with animist beliefs has no official leader or creeds. It has a single God known as “Bondye,” Creole for “Good God,” and more than a thousand spirits known as “lwas,” some which aren’t always benevolent. During Vodou ceremonies, lwas are offered everything from papayas to coffee and even popcorn, lollipops and cheese puffs on occasion, and a ceremony is considered successful if a Vodouist is possessed by a lwa.

NASA Glenn Looking to Lease Facilities

MAY 10, 2024

As NASA advances its aviation and spaceflight missions, its facilities and infrastructure need to evolve along with them. NASA centers, including Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, must find ways to reduce the cost of maintaining assets they aren’t currently using.

Toward this goal, NASA Glenn is offering opportunities to lease assets it no longer uses. These Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) agreements will allow space, aeronautics, and other related industry to use Glenn land and facilities in direct support of NASA’s mission. It’s an arrangement that could bring some of the best minds in aerospace closer together, spurring innovation.

“We want to strategically align Glenn’s unique aircraft and spacecraft testing assets with the aviation industry and emerging commercial market,” said Carlos Flores, NASA Glenn’s Strategic Planning Branch chief. “Our hope is to expand partnerships, accelerate innovation, and create regional economic opportunities.”

Flores said there are many advantages for commercial entities to lease NASA facilities. These partners will have more access to resources—such as other facilities and technical expertise— than those outside the gate.

“Once a company or university gets a foot in the door, it is very possible they will discover other assets and expertise they can leverage,” Flores said.

Glenn identified four facilities in Cleveland and one in Sandusky, Ohio, that will be considered under the EUL authority. They include:

Cryogenics Components Laboratory

Altitude Combustion Stand

Administration Building

2.2 Second Drop Tower

Flight Research Building

In March, Glenn released an Announcement for Proposal, or AFP, to the public soliciting offers for the use of the Cryogenics Components Laboratory at NASA’s Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky. An AFP is expected for the Altitude Combustion Stand in Cleveland within a couple of months.

Glenn and other NASA centers continually work to align their facilities and infrastructure with the Agency Master Plan, which serves as a roadmap for future development and redevelopment of agency property.

To align with the Agency Master Plan, Glenn must reduce its “maintenance gap,” which is the amount of property owned versus the amount of property the center can afford to maintain.

“The maintenance gap is one of the realities we face in an environment of current and future budget constraints,” Flores said.

While demolition is sometimes the easiest way to reduce square footage and maintenance costs, leasing can be a viable option for buildings that do not fit the demolition criteria.

“EULs will not only reduce the maintenance gap and the square footage we are responsible to maintain, but they will also enable us to create strategic partnerships and utilize revenue from the base rent for repairs to infrastructure,” Flores said.

Gold prices climb to 3-week highs (Ag holding $28/oz) as ‘soft’ U.S. data support rate cuts this year

Futures prices for the yellow metal are on track for a nearly 3% weekly rise. Gold futures climbed sharply on Friday, looking to tally their first weekly gain in three weeks, as downbeat U.S. economic data supported the likelihood of Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts this year.

Gold for June delivery GC00, 1.26% GCM24, 1.26% rose $33, or 1.4%, to $2,373.30 an ounce on Comex. Prices based on the most-active contract were 2.8% higher for the week and on track for their best finish since April 19, according to FactSet data.

On Friday, a reading of the University of Michigan’s gauge of consumer sentiment showed a decline to 67.4 in a preliminary May reading,down from 77.2 in the prior month.Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had expected a reading of 76.

The U.S. Labor Department reported Thursday that initial jobless-benefit claims rose by 22,000 to 231,0000 in the week ending May 4 — the highest since last August. Gold prices have fallen since they settled at a record high of $2,413.80 on April 19, but gold is still trading roughly 15% higher year to date.

(silver hanging on to $28/iz and still trying to decisively break out of its high in 2020 of about $28.34-CME FEDWATCH shows July cut of 25bp has dropped 4% points to 26%, down from 30% on Weds but remember this is a contract that can be bought and sold to reflect a narrative but it’s what we habs to gauge probability…flawed yes but all there is except the overall Bond Market which has retreated from those recent highs on yields but inching up slightly today)

China launches its first medium Earth orbit broadband satellites

May 9, 2024

HELSINKI — China launched the first satellites for a medium Earth orbit broadband constellation late Wednesday.

A Long March 3B lifted off at 9:43 p.m. Eastern May 8 (0143 UTC May 9) from the inland Xichang Satellite Launch Center, southwest China. The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) confirmed launch success, revealing the mission payloads for the first time to be the Smart Skynet-1 (01) satellites A and B.

The satellites were developed by CASC’s Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST) for Shanghai Tsingshen Technology Development Co. Ltd. Tsingshen Tech was founded in 2018. It is collaborating with Tsinghua University and the Shanghai government to create a medium Earth orbit (MEO) broadband satellite constellation.

Smart Skynet-1 (01) satellite A is equipped with a multi-beam, high-speed microwave link, an inter-satellite two-way laser link and an onboard digital processing and forwarding platform, according to SAST. Satellite B is equipped with an inter-satellite laser link experiment payload. On-orbit activities will include technology validation of flexible inter-satellite links and satellite-to-ground transmission.

Tsingshen Tech plans initially to put eight satellites into 20,000-kilometer MEO orbits to form a global communications constellation. The nearest approximation to the constellation is O3B’s MEO constellation.

This can be expanded to 16 satellites, consisting of two groups, and four groups totaling 32 satellites. The company claims, after completion, the constellation will provide personalized network services with no blind spots globally.

SAST states that Smart SkyNet could be joined up with China’s low Earth orbit communications megaconstellations, as well as comms satellites in geostationary orbit. This would provide access to all types of users in all scenarios and all domains.

Smart SkyNet is being promoted under the “Shanghai Action Plan to Promote Commercial Aerospace Development and Create a Space Information Industry Highland (2023-2025).” The move is one of a number of municipal and provincial level initiatives in China to boost commercial space activities and foster growth and innovation. Various action plans cover satellites, launch vehicles and related applications and infrastructure.

The city is also backing a broadband megaconstellation project known as “G60 Starlink,” centered in Shanghai’s Songjiang District. The project plans to launch the first 108 satellites this year and have more than 12,000 in orbit when completed.

China now has a range of constellation plans in a range of orbits with heavy state backing.

The country has also mooted plans to form an integrated constellation for communications, navigation and remote sensing.

Wednesday’s launch was China’s 21st of 2024. It follows the launch of the Chang’e-6 sample return spacecraft, which has since entered lunar orbit, and the debut of the Long March 6C earlier this week. China aims to launch around 100 times this year.
