too bad that the airlines as a group could refuse the new (guidelines?) until such time as they also took into account the role of airports etc and assigned fines to those parties also.

Canadian North makes surprise cuts to Norman Wells, N.W.T., flight schedule 'I'm more **bleep** off than anything else that nobody called us and gave us a heads up,' says mayor Francis Tessier-Burns · CBC News · Posted: Apr 28, 2023 2:00 AM MDT | Last Updated: April 28 A Yellowknife outfitter says he learned about Canadian North's reduced flight schedule to Norman Wells, N.W.T., when emails of itinerary changes started pouring into his inbox. (Jordan Konek/CBC) The plans of hopeful paddlers whose trips were scheduled to depart from Norman Wells, N.W.T., this summer may be in jeopardy after Canadian North has cut some of its flights to the community. Dan Wong, owner of Yellowknife-based Jackpine Paddle, says he's had guided canoe trips booked for months for 40 guests. "They're stressed out and right now we're sitting with itineraries that just aren't viable, and so that does worry me," said Wong. "These are trips of a lifetime and for some folks they've actually saved up for years and they've been planning for months." For now, Wong says nobody has cancelled their trips. Wong booked eight staff to lead the expeditions over the summer, starting on June 29. He says he learned about the reduced flight schedule Tuesday evening when emails of itinerary changes started pouring into his inbox. "I checked on that online and then I saw the schedule changes and I was like, 'Oh, this isn't going to be good,'" he said. He also thought about his previous work experience in a medical travel office. "I can tell you that's a busy place to work. There's a lot of people there and they have growing medical needs and people need to get in and out of their communities," he said. It's not clear how many flights have been cut. Canadian North did not respond to requests for comment and clarification by deadline. Dan Wong guiding on the Natla River in the N.W.T. (Submitted by Dan Wong) The cut to the schedule to Norman Wells was a surprise to Mayor Frank Pope. "I'm more **bleep** off than anything else that nobody called us and gave us a heads up," he said. Pope said the town would be issuing an update on the situation on Friday. In addition to the guided trips in Norman Wells, Wong was working with the Ayalik Fund to have Nunavummiut youth participate in a 12-day canoe trip on Great Slave Lake. He's heard from organizers — mostly volunteers — that the reduction or cancellations to some Nunavut routes have caused significant disruptions to travel plans. "I can fix any problem if I have enough time," Wong said. "But with something this complicated, to hear about it basically at the last minute, it just makes things really difficult." The schedule change comes days after the federal government approved updated terms for the 2019 merger of Canadian North and First Air, though it's not clear whether that's the reason for the change. Some of the new terms allow for scheduled flights to be reduced to once a week in communities served by Canadian North, and for 25 per cent price increases per year. Communities already facing reduction Ulukhaktok, N.W.T., has been dealing with a single flight to the community since the pandemic. "Our hands are tied," says Mayor Joshua Oliktoak. He says the single flight has delayed everything from mail to medical travel. Elders and families have been especially affected as they wait for Old Age Security or Canada Child Benefit cheques. "There's people … that rely on these cheques to put food on the table to pay their bills," said Janine Harvey, the executive director of the Tahiuqtiit Women's Society in Ulukhaktok. "When people are waiting for mail to get into the community, that puts a hold on people's lives and their livelihood." Despite the reduction, Harvey says current prices are prohibitive to many community members being able to travel. "It's not fair to our people," she adds. Canadian North gets federal approval to reduce community service to 1 flight per week Federal government approves Canadian North and First Air merger Some community members, said Oliktoak, have had to change appointments with medical specialists due to fewer flights. Even when they do manage to make their appointment, it takes longer for them to get home. "It's been draining on our people," he said. He said the community was told the regular schedule would return after the pandemic, but despite a meeting in December with Canadian North representatives, that hasn't happened.

Partners Extend International Space Station for Benefit of Humanity FacebookTwitterPinterestTumblrMyspaceBlogger The International Space Station was pictured Oct. 4, 2018, from the departing Expedition 56 crew during a flyaround aboard the Soyuz MS-08 spacecraft. Credit: Roscosmos/NASA The International Space Station partners have committed to extending the operations of this unique platform in low Earth orbit where, for more than 22 years, humans have lived and worked for the benefit of humanity, conducting cutting-edge science and research in microgravity. The United States, Japan, Canada, and the participating countries of ESA (European Space Agency) have confirmed they will support continued space station operations through 2030 and Russia has confirmed it will support continued station operations through 2028. NASA will continue to work with its partner agencies to ensure an uninterrupted presence in low Earth orbit, as well as a safe and orderly transition from the space station to commercial platforms in the future. “The International Space Station is an incredible partnership with a common goal to advance science and exploration,” said Robyn Gatens, director of the International Space Station Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Extending our time aboard this amazing platform allows us to reap the benefits of more than two decades of experiments and technology demonstrations, as well as continue to materialize even greater discovery to come.” Since its launch in 1998, the International Space Station has been visited by 266 individuals from 20 countries. The space station is a unique scientific platform where crew members conduct experiments across multiple disciplines of research, including Earth and space science, biology, human physiology, physical sciences and technology demonstrations that could not be done on Earth. The crew living aboard the station are the hands of thousands of researchers on the ground conducting more than 3,300 experiments in microgravity. Now, in its third decade of operations, the station is in the decade of results when the platform can maximize its scientific return. Results are compounding, new benefits are materializing, and innovative research and technology demonstrations are building on previous work. The space station is one of the most complex international collaborations ever attempted. It was designed to be interdependent, relies on contributions from across the partnership to function, and no partner currently has the capability to operate the space station without the other. With a continued foothold in low Earth orbit, NASA’s Artemis missions are underway, setting up a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration.

Latest Update: Posted at 1500 or so EDT Window to safely airlift people from Sudan closing quickly, Canadian officials say Author of the article: Canadian Press Dylan Robertson Published Apr 28, 2023 • Last updated 1 hour ago • 1 minute read Mechanical issue in Canadian plane delays Sudan airlift, Turkish plane shot at | Toronto Sun

I wonder what the MEL looks like for this aircraft and of course if it will be attacked while grounded. Following the story I have placed a link to a US Airforce MEL for the C-130J Canada's Sudan relief flights held up by mechanical difficulties Story by Murray Brewster • 47m ago Jordanians evacuated from Sudan arrive at a military airport in Amman, Jordan on April 24, 2023.© Raad Adayleh/AP After one of Canada's planned evacuation flights out of Sudan ran into mechanical problems Friday, Defence Minister Anita Anand said the problem has been resolved and officials hope the airlift will resume "as soon as possible." The problem emerged just one day after Canada began its long-anticipated humanitarian mission in the east African country, now in the midst of a precarious ceasefire between two warring factions. Canada has been staging its evacuation flights out of the nearby nation of Djibouti. Two aircraft are assigned to the mission. Anand did not say where the C-130J encountered its mechanical issues, or what the nature of the problem was, or why the second aircraft could not fly. "We are hoping flights will resume as soon as possible. That is what we are working towards," Anand told reporters at a media availability in Dartmouth, N.S. "We need to ensure that occurs safely and that's the question on the table right now." Anand brushed aside questions about specifics, saying federal officials will have more to say at a briefing this afternoon. A defence source said the transport aircraft was on the ground in Djibouti and was unable to take off. Canadians and other foreign nationals have been caught in the crossfire of Sudan's civil conflict after violence broke out last week between the east African country's army and a paramilitary force. The fragility of Sudan's truce was underscored Friday by reports that a Turkish evacuation plane came under fire at an airbase outside Sudan's capital Khartoum as it was coming in to land. The Turkish defence ministry said no one was injured and it landed safely at Wadi Seidna, where it was being checked. The Sudanese army blamed paramilitary fighters with the Rapid Support Forces faction for the attack on the Turkish aircraft. The RSF denied the allegation, saying it was committed to the extended humanitarian truce. The two sides agreed late Thursday to a three-day extension of their ceasefire, which had been set to expire. Aside from security, Anand said the condition of the runway at the Sudanese military airport is an increasing source of concern for Canada and its allies. "The terrain at the airport is very rough and it requires a continual assessment by our officials, together with our allies, that planes can safely take off," she said. Anand said roughly 250 Canadians have been evacuated so far. Of that number, 117 were airlifted by the Canadian military. C-130J Minimum Equipment List.

A mission to the moon has apparently ended in failure Story by Trevor Mogg • Yesterday 7:20 p.m. A Japanese startup appears to have failed in its effort to become the first to achieve a privately funded moon landing. A mission to the moon has apparently ended in failure© Provided by Digital Trends Tokyo-based ispace was attempting to land the Hakuto-R Series 1 lander on the surface of the moon at 9:40 p.m. PT on Tuesday, April 25 (1:40 a.m. on Wednesday, April 26, Tokyo time), but it lost contact with the vehicle at around that time. “At this time, our Mission Control Center in Tokyo has not been able to confirm the success of the lander,” ispace tweeted about 90 minutes after it had hoped to set down the lander. It added: “Our engineers and mission operations specialists in our Mission Control Center are currently working to confirm the current status of the lander.” Related video: Japan's Ispace Loses Contact With Lander Targeting Moon (Bloomberg) We could not complete the landing on the lunar surface. Loaded: 37.11% Play Current Time 0:01 / Duration 1:37 QualitySettings Captions Fullscreen Bloomberg Japan's Ispace Loses Contact With Lander Targeting Moon Unmute 0 View on Watch While the comments offered a glimmer of hope that the team may be able to establish contact with the lander, ispace founder and CEO Takeshi Hakamada said during a webcast that “we have to assume that we could not complete the landing on the lunar surface.” The mission, which began with a launch from Cape Canaveral in Florida in December, had planned to deploy two small rovers on the lunar surface: the Sora-Q for the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, and the Rashid, built by the United Arab Emirates’ space agency. But the main purpose of the effort was so that ispace could demonstrate its ability to successfully deliver a lander to the moon. Now, though, it looks as if it’ll have to return to the drawing board. Successfully putting a lander on the moon would not only have marked the first time for a privately funded effort to achieve such a feat, but would also have put Japan alongside only three other countries in achieving a successful lunar landing, with only the U.S., China, and the former Soviet Union have already done so. NASA has inked a deal with ispace to help it land commercial payloads on the moon in future missions, and another that includes collecting a sample of lunar soil. The U.S. space agency has yet to comment on the apparent failure of the Hakuto-R mission, and if it will have any impact on the planned missions with ispace. Ispace was founded in 2010 and later became a finalist in the Google-sponsored Lunar X Prize, a contest that encouraged participants to become the first privately funded team to put a robot on the moon.
