LOS ANGELES — The chief of the NATO AWACS fleet is pushing for a joint operational demonstration of the E-3A and ScanEagle UAV in a Mediterranean counterterrorism operation as part of efforts to broaden the force’s capabilities. The trial use of the Insitu-Boeing UAV in the mission, called Operation Active Endeavour, could potentially help to extend the use of AWACS into a wider role as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform, according to the unit’s commander, USAF Maj. Gen. Stephen Schmidt.
LOS ANGELES — Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) has successfully completed a high-altitude drop test of its Dragon spacecraft, the last major test of the parachute systems before the launch of the first operational vehicle.
LOS ANGELES — The Aug. 19 runway incident that damaged the Virgin Galactic WhiteKnightTwo (WK2) mothership will undoubtedly delay the test program, which appeared to be building up rapidly toward the first glide flights of the eight-seat suborbital SpaceShipTwo (SS2). WK2 was damaged when its left main landing gear collapsed on the runway at Mojave, Calif. Fortunately for the test effort, the Scaled Composites-designed SS2 was not suspended beneath the WK2 at the time. Scaled says WK2 was on its 37th test flight when the gear collapsed.
