DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book represents the Flight Operations Manual for a reusable microsatellite platform – the “Future Low-cost Platform” (FLP), developed at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. It provides a basic insight on the onboard software functions, the core data handling system and on the power, communications, attitude control and thermal subsystem of the platform. Onboard failure detection, isolation and recovery functions are treated in detail. The platform is suited for satellites in the 50-150 kg class and is baseline of the microsatellite “Flying Laptop” from the University. The book covers the essential information for ground operators to controls an FLP-based satellite applying international command and control standards (CCSDS and ECSS PUS). Furthermore it provides an overview on the Flight Control Center in Stuttgart and on the link to the German Space Agency DLR Ground Station which is used for early mission phases. Flight procedure and mission planning chapters complement the book.

The walkalong gliders in this book are designed to let you actually pilot them as you push them along on a wave of air. Become an accomplished glider designer and aviator with this do-it-yourself guide. Detailed step-by-step instructions illustrated with hundreds of photographs show you how to build six different types of controllable gliders. All the materials you need can be found around the house or purchased very inexpensively. Each design comes with specific instructions on how to climb and turn, from the simple paper airplane designs to handling the Jumbo's four-foot wingspan. Inside you'll find: Step-by-step instructions for building six unique walkalong gliders Tumblewing Paper airplane surfer X-surfer Jumbo Butterfly glider Baby bug Guidance on how to gracefully take off, maintain altitude, steer, maneuver, and land your creations Tips for putting on fun competitions at school or in your neighborhood

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A clear, CONCISE, and professionally-illustrated guide for anyone wanting to become an ACCOMPLISHED paramotor pilot, either footlaunch or on wheels. It is comprehensive but breaks down information into digestible chunks that fit well with quality training programs.Section 1 is all about safely getting to first flight and gaining competency. Section 2 covers what's needed to set out on your own. it offers PRACTICAL airspace, weather, airport, site, cross country, and maintenance knowledge. Section 3 is about MASTERING and surviving the sport including risk management, precision flying, handling turbulence, tough landing options and much more. Section 4 details the weird aerodynamics and physics that govern paramotor flight, more in-depth weather, and history knowledge. Section 5 is about choosing gear--what goes into it, the tradeoffs, and why choices are so critical to safe learning. Proper choice is key to surviving the dangerous learning phase. Section 6 explores how to get more out of the sport, like traveling with gear, photography, and other uses.
