Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. introduces Super Heron UAV

Posted on by

JERUSALEM, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. debuted its Super Heron UAV at the 2014 Singapore Airshow.

IAI unveiled the medium-altitude long endurance (MALE) Super Heron UAV Tuesday, Globes business newspaper reported.

Under secret development for years, the MALE Super Heron UAV has a 55-foot wingspan, maximum payload weight of 992 lbs. and a takeoff weight of 3,200 lbs.

The MALE Super Heron UAV uses a 200-horsepower diesel engine and advanced motor that enables it to fly at more than 173 mph and gives it a faster rate of climb.

"The new UAV's improved engine gives it a somewhat bigger and heftier look than the other Herons," IAI Chief Executive Officer Joseph Weiss said.

"The Super Heron greatly expands the mission capabilities of UAVs," he said. "Its development reflects our continuous investment in UAVs and advanced technologies. We previously identified this sector as a key growth engine for the company."

NASA and Virginia Come Together to Talk Aerospace (with video)

Amid the hustle and bustle on the nine floors of the Virginia General Assembly building in Richmond, about 75 representatives from NASA and the aerospace industry spoke to every single member during a two-day awareness campaign called Aerospace Day 2014.

In small teams, they moved from office to office, expressing thanks and noting the impact of the aerospace industry in Virginia --$36.4 billion, 28,110 high-paying jobs, $57.5 million in state tax revenues and a highly skilled workforce.

"There's only one word we can use to describe the impact that Wallops and NASA have had, it's 'Wow.'" said Sen. John Cosgrove. "It's just amazing ... we're just so excited. We take pride for being in your corner and supporting you."

House Speaker William Howell spoke about being at the launch of STS-135 in 2011. Sitting by his side, astronaut Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger shared that she was also there as a 'Cape Crusader,' preparing the shuttle for the crew.

Metcalf-Lindenburger also spoke with two Virginia classrooms through distance-learning sessions about her 2010 flight to the International Space Station on the space shuttle Discovery, and the "new forefront" that will be achieved through the first flight of the agency's Orion spacecraft this September.

Sen. Lynwood Lewis recalled taking his eight-year-old son to a launch this year at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility. After the launch, someone from NASA told his son: "Things here will never be the same." Lewis, a native of Virginia's Eastern Shore, responded: "I think he is right."

In Del. Rob Bell's office, Chris Carter said the organization for which he is deputy director - the Virginia Space Grant Consortium - has "touched every house and senate district."

Former Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars student and high school senior Alex Hsain, said she "genuinely hopes that programs like these will be offered to other students in the future."

In a later meeting, Del. Tom Rust expressed "no doubt" that NASA and the aerospace industry are an asset to the state.

Other conversations touched on making aircraft more efficient and safe, the development of space technologies to enable exploration beyond low Earth orbit and science missions that inform policy makers.

Comets Prepare for Roar

Posted on by

February 13, 2014 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) Missouri Comets INDEPENDENCE, Missouri (February 13, 2014) - With a spot reserved in the 2014 MISL Playoffs, the Missouri Comets are focused on the Pennsylvania Roar and finishing their season strong. Missouri will welcome the expansion Roar to the Independence Events Center for the first time on Friday, February 14th at 7:35p.m.

After a slow day offensively against the Blast, the Comets will look to pressure the Roar's defense, currently allowing 17 points per game. Leo Gibson, John Sosa and Lucas Rodriguez will lead the way and look to add to their total. Midfielder Vahid Assadpour is nursing a slight knee injury and is questionable for Friday's match.

Pennsylvania has had a rough introduction to the MISL this season. They lost their first eleven games before beating the St. Louis Ambush on January 19th. In those first games they scored less than four points per game on average. However, since their 16-0 victory over the ambush, they have averaged nearly thirteen points per game.

The Comets will be celebrating Valentine's Day in their annual Pink Game on Friday. The team will be wearing special Pink jerseys that will be auctioned off LIVE immediately following the match. A portion of the proceeds from the auction will benefit The Ali Kemp Education Foundation.

Comets Reloaded

Posted on by

February 13, 2014 - American Hockey League (AHL) Utica Comets February of 2014 is a month that acts as a revolving door throughout much of the hockey community. For many players and teams, this means unaccustomed challenges and unacquainted faces.

For the Utica Comets, however, February is a time where we see a return of some familiar faces. With the NHL currently on pause for the Olympic Games, the Vancouver Canucks returned four crucial players to Utica's roster. Defensemen Frank Corrado and Yann Sauve, and forwards Kellan Lain and Pascal Pelletier have all made their way back to where their season started, in the Mohawk Valley.

Many of the NHL's finest, including former Comet and Swiss defenseman Yannick Weber, are currently participating in the Winter Olympics in Sochi, where they have an entirely new collection of teammates with their native countries. Some of the AHL's brightest lights were in St. Johns, Newfoundland, teaming up on the AHL all star team that defeated Farjestad BK of the SHL just last evening.

But the Comets now have the entire set of core pieces that began the season in Utica finally back in place at the same time. For the first time in a long time, the Comets' roster feels complete once again.

Utica welcomed back over 150 games of experience with the team, in addition to 67 combined points (19-48-67). The quartet of returnees skated with the team in the final two games of the road trip last week, in which the Comets claimed three of a possible four points from games against Milwaukee and Rockford.

Kellan Lain was the only of the four to make his NHL debut this season, and it came in spectacular fashion. In a game that made waves throughout the hockey community, Lain appeared in just two seconds of game time during his debut against the Calgary Flames. Lain was involved in a full ice fight off of the opening faceoff that saw eight players ejected and his NHL debut will go down as one of the most unique in NHL history. Lain's ejection from the game just two seconds in etched his name into the NHL's record books. His fight two seconds into a career is the fastest in NHL history. The previous record was 12 seconds, set on October 8th, 1963 by John Ferguson.

Center Pascal Pelletier is perhaps the largest return for the Comets. Pelletier is Utica's leading scorer this season with 40 points (9-31-40) over 40 games and was sorely missed after he was recalled to the Canucks just before Utica lost 4-2 against Chicago last Tuesday. Pelletier was held scoreless in two games in Vancouver, but recorded a season high 10:04 of ice time against St. Louis.

It is Corrado who has been away from Utica the most this season, however, with 11 games played in Vancouver throughout two separate stints. With all of Vancouver's injuries on the back end, Corrado has seen a significant role at not only even strength, but also on the power play. The Toronto, ON native is also the most seasoned at the NHL level overall, with 18 games on the world's biggest stage.

In a return that was nearly three years in the making, Yann Sauve played his first NHL game since 2011 on Feb. 3 at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Sauve skated in three total contests with Vancouver, where he played mostly on a pairing with Corrado. The Saint John Sea Dogs product made his presence felt with the Comets with four shots on net in his short two game return since.

The Comets are now in possession of arguably the strongest roster they have had all season, with the ability to play four strong lines game in and game out. With Rochester in the cross hairs for a home and home series on Friday and Saturday, no time is better than now to make a move.
