Yaguara 'Inanna' YGR-2D-IAL

Mass: 75 tons Chassis: Earthwerks TDR IV Power Plant: Vlar 300 XL Cruising Speed: 43.2 kph Maximum Speed: 86.4 kph Jump Jets: Rawlings Model 60 Jump Capacity: 120 meters Armor: Hellespont cFF Armament: 1 Rotary AC/2 2 ER Large Laser 2 Medium Pulse Laser 1 Medium Vibroblade

Manufacturer: Majesty Metals and Manufacturing Primary Factory: Unknown Communication System: Tek BattleCom Targeting & Tracking System: Tek Tru-Trak Introduction Year: 3146 Tech Rating/Availability: F/X-X-X-X Cost: 27,480,250 C-bills

Overview

Proposed as part of Project BIG CAT for the Magistracy of Canopus, the Yaguara was designed by Majesty Metals and Manufacturing in 3146 as a fast moving, hard-hitting heavy 'Mech.

This custom variant, built for Inanna Allard-Liao, possesses an extremely dangerous close combat weapon - a 'Mech vibroblade, mounted on a 'Mech-scale myomer tail, in addition to most of the weaponry of the base configuration.

Capabilities

The Yaguara was built from the ground up with speed and long-ranged engagement in mind. Built around a supercharged Vlar 300 XL engine, the 'Mech can sprint over 86 kph, allowing it to keep up with lances comprised of much lighter 'Mechs than itself. It complements this ground speed with four Rawlings Model 60 jump jets, granting it a jumping distance of 120 meters for an extra mobility boost. Its armament is built around a pair of Clan-spec ER Large Lasers, uncommon in the region, and a Class-2 Rotary Autocannon, with a pair of SRM 6s and medium pulse lasers as close-engagement backups. All of this, unfortunately, comes at the cost of heat - the Yaguara was designed with bracket fire in mind, and MechWarriors are advised not to alpha strike without due cause. This custom variant was built for Inanna Allard-Liao. It is a hybrid Clantech refit, using many experimental technologies, as well as the removal of the previously-mounted SRM 6s, to allow for the addition of a custom myomer armored tail, with a 'Mech scale vibroblade mounted to the end. Complimenting this weapon are Triple-Strength Myomer and a Supercharger, to allow the 'Mech to reach truly incredible speeds for its weight.

Controlled by Inanna using a salvaged Word of Blake Buffered VDNI system, the 'Mech moves with the same fluid grace as its pilot. Advances in Belter/Canopian hybrid medical science have extended Inanna's lifespan estimate from 15 years to 75, and are predicted to have significantly extended the initial onset period for the madness which often accompanies use of neural interface systems.

What is shot peening ?

Ever Wondered What is shot peening ? Shot peening is a specialized surface treatment technique used to enhance the durability, strength, and performance of various materials, particularly metals and alloys. By subjecting a component's surface to high-velocity, small, spherical particles, shot peening introduces controlled compressive stresses that counteract tensile stresses and improve the material's resistance to fatigue, cracking, and corrosion. This article delves into the principles, process, and applications of shot peening as an essential method in modern engineering.

The Principles of Shot Peening

The fundamental principle behind shot peening lies in its ability to induce beneficial residual stresses into the material's surface. The process involves directing a stream of tiny, round media (such as steel, glass, or ceramic beads) at the target component using specialized equipment. As these particles collide with the surface, they create localized plastic deformation, leading to the development of compressive stresses on the outer layer. These compressive stresses act as a barrier against potential cracks and enhance the material's fatigue life, making it more reliable under cyclic loading conditions.

The Shot Peening Process

The shot peening process is carried out with precision, as the intensity and coverage of the peening effect are critical to its success. Several key factors are considered during the process:

Media Selection: The choice of media depends on the material being treated and the desired outcome. Harder media imparts deeper compressive layers, while softer media is suited for delicate materials.

Particle Velocity: The kinetic energy of the particles is crucial in determining the depth and intensity of the compressive layer. The velocity is carefully controlled to ensure effective results without causing surface damage.

Coverage and Overlapping: Ensuring complete coverage of the component's surface while avoiding over-peening is essential. Overlapping patterns are employed to maintain uniform stress distribution.

Applications of Shot Peening

Aerospace Industry: Shot peening is extensively used in aircraft and spacecraft components like turbine blades, landing gears, and engine components. The treatment helps improve fatigue resistance and extends the service life of critical parts.

Automotive Sector: In the automotive industry, shot peening enhances the durability of various engine and transmission components, improving their performance and reducing the risk of premature failure.

Medical Implants: Medical implants like orthopedic implants benefit from shot peening, as it increases their resistance to wear and fatigue in the demanding physiological environment.

Industrial Machinery: Shot peening finds applications in various industrial machinery components, such as gears, springs, and shafts, ensuring reliable operation and minimizing downtime.

Conclusion

Shot peening is a highly effective surface treatment process that enhances material performance by inducing controlled compressive stresses. Its ability to improve fatigue resistance and prevent crack propagation makes it a valuable technique in multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, and manufacturing. As technology continues to advance, shot peening will likely remain a critical tool in engineering, ensuring the longevity and reliability of vital components. By embracing this unique method, engineers can optimize material performance and contribute to the advancement of modern technologies.

An Excellent Route to Becoming a Commercial Pilot

There are a variety of ways to become a commercial pilot. You can train for the ATP-CTP and Regional airline pilot licenses, receive a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering, or train through the military. There are numerous benefits to each approach. The training procedure for pilots is adapted to the type of aircraft they will be operating.

The ATP-CTP program prepares aspiring commercial pilots for the demanding demands of a commercial airline. Large, sophisticated transport aircraft with complicated equipment will be flown by ATP pilots. After completing the training program successfully, pilots will get their Airline Transport Pilot certificate. The curriculum consists of a written and practical examination. Many regional airlines coordinate and give ATP-CTP training.

The ATP-CTP training can lead to a rewarding career in the aviation industry. You can submit an application to work as a commercial pilot for a variety of airlines. Additionally, you can become a certified flight instructor. The compensation for CFIs is comparable to airline entry-level salary. In addition, you can pursue private or corporate aviation pilot employment as alternate flight vocations. Freight, charter, and aerial surveys also offer attractive prospects. Investing in your own aircraft is a further alternative.

ATP-CTP training is available at multiple venues across the US. In Wilmington, Ohio, the Sporty's Academy, for example, offers an ATP-CTP program. It has been affiliated with ABX Air Inc. for a number of years. In addition to promoting the program, ABX provides training and examinations.

The major in Aerospace Engineering educates students in engineering design and construction. Courses may cover flight dynamics, aerodynamics, aerospace structures and systems, and orbital mechanics. The curriculum is based on scientific and mathematical principles. Aerospace engineering graduates have the possibility to become air traffic controllers as well.

A degree in Aerospace Engineering is an excellent foundation for a prosperous career in aviation. This area is extremely competitive, and applicants are frequently required to have exceptional credentials. However, graduates with a BS or BA will have access to extensive training resources that can help them become commercial pilots. In addition, students will study aerodynamics, flight physiology, and flight management.

Typically, the curriculum of an Aerospace Engineering degree comprises both academic study and practical training. Some programs also include pilot license instruction in their curriculum. To be successful in this sector, students must possess good mathematical, scientific, and problem-solving skills. In addition, a degree may contain courses in management and business, as well as weather and aviation technology as electives.

Regional airline pilots can normally anticipate spending three to eight years as a First Officer or Captain, accumulating at least 2,000 extra flying hours. After completing their time with a regional airline, pilots can either switch to a large carrier or take one and a half years to advance to the next level. While the majority of regional airline pilots want to become captains for legacy carriers, others may be pleased with the regional airline pilot lifestyle and opt to remain there.

Major airline pilots are often subjected to stricter screening than smaller airline pilots. In general, major airlines prefer applicants with at least a Bachelor's degree, but many airlines do consider the type of degree obtained. Additionally, they favor applicants with greater flight experience, including at least 3,000 total hours and 500 hours as PIC. Some airlines prefer applicants with military pilot experience, however the specifics depend on the extent of flying during duty.

A military pilot training program provides the rare opportunity to obtain a pilot's license while serving in the United States military. In addition to a rigorous and carefully structured training program, employment is assured for the period of service. Pilots typically spend up to ten years in the military, experiencing tough training and global deployments. Additionally, military pilots are frequently given preference when applying to airline programs.

The military is an excellent approach to become a commercial pilot since it provides a larger range of expertise and flight hours earned during active duty can be applied to a commercial pilot's flying hours. After leaving the military, civilian pilots must normally undergo an FAA-approved flying training program. These classes will teach students about the many types of aircraft, how to handle specific circumstances in the air, and general aviation industry information. Before passing the exam, students will also receive flight training with an instructor, who will take them into the air and evaluate their skills.

After finishing flight training, many military pilots might find work with minor airlines. Although these occupations can be difficult, they can provide a solid foundation for a commercial pilot's career. Depending on where you wish to work, flying for the military can be an excellent method to support a family while pursuing a passion.

Space; some of which are mentioned in this article:

Astronomy Courses: A field of science that deals with the study of outer space like galaxies, solar systems, stars, black holes, planets, and so many different celestial bodies.

Astronauts: The people who actually go to outer space and explore it with all the pinpoints carried in their minds.

Space Technology: It includes all spacecraft, satellites, space stations, support infrastructure equipment, various other procedures related to space and space warfare.

Engineering: The astronauts and space stations may fetch a large part of people’s attention but it is the engineers who are the backbone of Space exploration. From the designing of spacecraft, launch vehicles, space stations, satellites, and many more to an immense scope in fields like aerospace, robotics, computer engineering, material sciences, as well as mechanical and telecom engineering we see that engineers are a supporting hand in the development of space technology.

Space Research: It involves people from different fields like astrophysicists (astronomers who study celestial objects and how they interact with other space bodies), biologists (research how spaceflight affects those living in a spacecraft or the space station), biochemists, and biophysicists (look into the chemical and physical aspects of all things and their biological actions), geoscientists (study & analyze the physical nature of the Earth), astrobiologists (research life as it exists on Earth to learn about life that may exist on other planets) are all examples of space scientists who do the research part and let the space stations know about the situations and major happenings in space. Beyond research, there is a field of teaching also in space stations where you could work as an associate professor of space physics and also be involved in the analysis of data obtained from spacecraft.

Space Law: It is the body of law governing space-related activities which comprises a wide range of agreements, conventions, treaties, and the regulations of international organizations that the space stations have to follow, and if any laws are violated then strict actions are imposed on them.

Space Tourism: A growing number of businesses are aiming to step into the space tourism industry. Some big players engaged and hiring in this field are Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, Blue Origin, Orion, Orion Span (Space Hotel), and Boeing as they know that currently space tourism is in trend and many people want to explore more about space these days.

Space Architecture: This involves the study and practice of designing and constructing inhabitable environments in outer space because it is found that outer space also has a living and people can live in it. There are plans to have space hotels but not in the too-distant future!

Space Medicine/Psychology:  It is the practice of medicine for astronauts in outer space. A large part of it involves mitigating the physiological changes caused by weightlessness as well as psychological issues because it is not an easy life in outer space as it is somewhat easy on the earth.

Exploring these careers is worthwhile and entering the field of space is in trend these days.

November 14 of every year is marked as World Diabetes Day as it’s the birthday of University of Toronto physician Sir Frederick Banting who was the first to use insulin clinically to treat diabetes in 1922. He shared the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine with three other scientists for the work on insulin.⁣ ⁣ As a practicing physician for 20+ years who has prescribed insulin and its many forms for years to my own patients, Banting’s legacy is huge in my work. ⁣ ⁣ What is not as well known about Banting is that he is also considered one of the fathers of aviation medicine. The photo here is of Sir Frederick Banting on the left and one of his closest friends and fellow physician researchers, Wilbur Franks.⁣ ⁣ In the late 1930s with the clouds of war approaching, Banting assembled a team of physicians and scientists in Toronto to address the physiologic challenges of high performance flight. With Banting’s help, Wilbur Franks developed the first practical G-suit to help pilots handle the stresses of high-G maneuvers in combat. The G-suits were first used operationally in 1942 in North Africa by the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy. ⁣ ⁣ Initially fluid filled, they refined the design to a more comfortable and practical gas-filled version which set the pattern for G-suits used by fighter pilots today.⁣ ⁣ For years the only high-G human centrifuge outside of Germany was at the University of Toronto at Banting’s research institute. When Banting died in 1941 in a plane crash on his way to Britain to assist Franks with the operational testing of the G-suit, Franks carried on the work. To this day, Canadian contributions to aerospace medicine are huge and a disproportionate number of Canadian astronauts come from medical or medical research backgrounds.⁣ ⁣ #avgeek #aviation #instagramaviation #instaaviation #aviationlovers #flight⁣ ⁣ #FrederickBanting #WilburFranks #insulin #diabetes #aviationmedicine #aerospacemedicine #Gsuit #UniversityofToronto #Toronto #Canada⁣ ⁣ #AvGeeksAero #AvGeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWDh49v_dD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Small Businesses with Big Plans for the Moon and Mars

Today is Small Business Saturday, which the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) recognizes as a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities.

Source: Techshot

We are proud to partner with small businesses across the country through NASA’s Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, which have funded the research, development and demonstration of innovative space technologies since 1982. This year, we’ve awarded 571 SBIR/STTR contracts totaling nearly $180 million to companies who will support our future exploration:

Techshot, Inc. was selected to bioprint micro-organs in a zero-gravity environment for research and testing of organs-on-chip devices, which simulate the physiological functions of body organs at a miniature scale for health research without the need for expensive tests or live subjects.

CertainTech, Inc., with the George Washington University, will demonstrate an improved water recovery system for restoring nontoxic water from wastewater using nanotechnology.

Electrochem, Inc. was contracted to create a compact and lightweight regenerative fuel cell system that can store energy from an electrolyzer during the lunar day to be used for operations during the lunar night.

Small businesses are also developing technologies for the Artemis missions to the Moon and for human and robotic exploration of Mars. As we prepare to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024, these are just a few of the small businesses working with us to make it happen.

Commercial Lunar Payload Delivery Services

Masten Space Systems, Astrobotic and Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems are three NASA SBIR/STTR alumni now eligible to bid on NASA delivery services to the lunar surface through Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) contracts. Other small businesses selected as CLPS providers include Ceres Robotics, Deep Space Systems, Intuitive Machines, Moon Express, and Orbit Beyond. Under the Artemis program, these companies could land robotic missions on the Moon to perform science experiments, test technologies and demonstrate capabilities to help the human exploration that will follow. The first delivery could be as early as July 2021.

A Pathfinder CubeSat

One cornerstone of our return to the Moon is a small spaceship called Gateway that will orbit our nearest neighbor to provide more access to the lunar surface. SBIR/STTR alum Advanced Space Systems will develop a CubeSat that will test out the lunar orbit planned for Gateway, demonstrating how to enter into and operate in the unique orbit. The Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment (CAPSTONE) could launch as early as December 2020.

Tipping Point for Moon to Mars

We selected 14 companies as part of our Tipping Point solicitation, which fosters the development of critical, industry-led space capabilities for our future missions. These small businesses all proposed unique technologies that could benefit the Artemis program.

Many of these small businesses are also NASA SBIR/STTR alumni whose Tipping Point awards are related to their SBIR or STTR awards. For example, Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen, Inc. (Infinity Fuel) will develop a power and energy product that could be used for lunar rovers, surface equipment, and habitats. This technology stems from a new type of fuel cell that Infinity Fuel developed with the help of NASA SBIR/STTR awards.

CU Aerospace and Astrobotic are also small businesses whose Tipping Point award can be traced back to technology developed through the NASA SBIR/STTR program. CU Aerospace will build a CubeSat with two different propulsion systems, which will offer high performance at a low cost, and Astrobotic will develop small rover “scouts” that can host payloads and interface with landers on the lunar surface.

Small Businesses, Big Impact

This is just a handful of the small businesses supporting our journey back to the Moon and on to Mars, and just a taste of how they impact the economy and American innovation. We are grateful for the contributions that small businesses make—though they be but “small,” they are fierce.
