Trustees to Search for Next ERAU President
James Roddey ERAU Media & Marketing
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The sixth president of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will be recruited through an executive search process, according to a Board of Trustees’ decision on Friday, March 25, during a meeting at the university’s headquarters in Daytona Beach. Dr. John R. Watret, who has served as interim president since June 2015, has decided to step down and will return to Embry-Riddle’s senior administration. Watret, who has served the university in various
appointments for 26 years, is being invited and encouraged to apply, said Chairman of the Board Mori Hosseini. “Dr. Watret has demonstrated his executive leadership skills throughout the past nine months. We will consider his experience and proven track record at Embry-Riddle; however, we must continue our due diligence to ensure that we have chosen the absolute best person to lead our university to the next level.” Dr. Karen A. Holbrook, an Embry-Riddle Board of Trustees member, will act as Interim President during the search. She currently serves as Senior Advisor to
the President of the University of South Florida. Her past positions include Senior Vice President for Global Affairs and International Research at the University of South Florida, President of The Ohio State University, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost at the University of Georgia, Vice President for Research and Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Florida, and Associate Dean at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Dr. Holbrook will assume the post on April 18. Trustees, faculty, staff and students will serve
on a presidential search committee. Hosseini, a three-time Embry-Riddle alumnus who also holds an honorary doctorate from the university, will oversee the group. Following the conclusion of the search, Holbrook will return to the Board of Trustees. The presidential search process will begin immediately. “Choosing Embry-Riddle’s next leader is the most important responsibility of the Board of Trustees,” Hosseini said. “The future president has a unique opportunity to shape the university’s growth and prepare the next generation of great innovators.”
Benefits of Bicycle Patrols Lt. Jaime Gonzalez Campus Safety & Security Have you ever noticed police officers on bicycle patrols? If so, what did you think? Did they seem more approachable than if they were in a patrol car? Campus Safety & Security is currently implementing a new bicycle patrol program. Some of our officers have indicated a strong interest in it because of the numerous advantages in a campus setting. Seeing a safety officer on a bicycle may start to soften possible negative images that some members of our culturally diverse campus population may have about uniformed officers. While patrol vehicles
may give one perception, we think an officer on a bicycle may present a more approachable figure to our community. As a result, students who come in contact with bicycle officers may be more inclined to communicate with us and help to, collectively, keep our campus safe. Perpetrators who visit our campus with the intent to commit a crime may not notice an officer on a bicycle as they would a marked patrol vehicle. Bike patrols may quickly ride up to a crime in progress, unnoticed or unrecognized by the offender until the last moment. Other benefits are that bicycles can go where traditional patrol cars cannot. A bike has the abili-
ty to navigate quickly around campus, avoiding obstacles that would stop a patrol vehicle such as construction and car-free-zones. Students who are bicyclists may connect with our officers, developing a friendship that may not be possible with officers driving patrol vehicles, this promotes community-oriented patrols. Bicycle patrols can help us increase the number of contacts and establish a deeper relationship and trust with the ERAU campus community. These are just some of the benefits of bicycle patrols and one of the goals we are always trying to achieve in creating a safer environment for our campus community.
I always like to share crime statistics from my meetings with the city police department. I think it’s important for you to know the types of crimes that occur within our city. Over the past few weeks, there were nine auto thefts, 16 burglaries, five stolen bicycles, nine car breakins, 14 aggravated assaults, 13 domestic assaults, one person shot, one sexual battery, 106 property crimes, and 50 domestic violence cases. This is why it is so important that we as a community be vigilant and report suspicious activity immediately. With bicycle patrols, we will have an even quicker response to your call! Remember, “If you see something, say something.”

As aircraft and the air traffic systems that support them get “smarter,” the threat of cyber attacks increases. Experts say aviation cyber security is the key to safeguarding the nation’s airspace and its air travelers. But according to a 2015 U.S. Government Accountability Office report (GAO-15-370), the industry is behind the curve when it comes to protecting itself from cyber breaches. Interconnected technologies developed for the FAA’s Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) are replacing radar-based air traffic control systems— and they’re rife with cyber security vulnerabilities, according to the report.
“[NextGen] will all be computer to computer communications,” says Jon Haass, associate professor of cyber intelligence and security at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. “Guess what they forgot? They forgot cyber security.” The largest and oldest aviation university in the world, Embry-Riddle is at the forefront of aviation cyber security research. A panel of subject matter experts, including Haass, will discuss the cyber threats and specific challenges facing the aviation industry and what can be done to protect the nation’s airspace at a panel discussion set for 5:30-7 p.m. Tuesday, April 12 at the Willie Miller Instructional Center and Auditorium at the Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach Campus.
The event is free and open to the public. It will include an interactive question and answer session, and will be moderated by James Roddey, communications and media relations manager at Embry-Riddle. The event will also be livestreamed. Register to attend online: alumni.erau.edu/LiftTalks. Distinguished panelists include: • Jon Haas, associate professor of cyber intelligence and security and an advisor for the Arizona Cyber Threat Response Board. • Carl W. Herberger, vice president of security systems for Radware, a global provider of application delivery and cybersecurity solutions. A 1991 alumnus of Embry-Riddle, Herberger is a former U.S. Air Force captain and a
national advisory board member for SecureWorld Expo. • Gary Kessler, professor of cybersecurity and chair of the Embry-Riddle Security Studies and International Affairs department. Kessler is also a member of the editorial board and past editor-in-chief of the Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law and is an independent consultant and practitioner in the areas of computer and network security, TCP/IP and the Internet, and communications protocols and standards. • Remzi Seker, professor of computer science, M.S. and Ph.D. program coordinator for Embry-Riddle’s Electrical, Computer, Software & Systems Engineering department and director of the CyBASE Research Center at Daytona Beach, Fla.

boy as a shield. Officer Guindon quickly pulled her gun, aimed at the suspect, and told the child to run away. The suspect opened fire on the three officers. When more officers responded to the scene - signaled by the rapid gunfire - he exited the house and surrendered. As Joel Roberts, friend of her family, reports: When the emergency responders arrived on the scene, “...she was smiling on the ground
and said ‘I’m okay, take him; he’s shot worse.’ ” All three wounded officers were flown via Medevac helicopter to Inova Fairfax Hospital for immediate care. After being airlifted to the hospital, Guindon’s mother, Sharon Guindon, was immediately informed. One of the first people she called was Joel, and she said: "Ashley's been shot, but she's gonna be okay.” But unfortunately, that was not the true. “[Sharon] called an hour later and said that she passed,” said Roberts. He had been a friend of the family for many years. Officer Ashley Guindon died in the hospital. Her funeral was held in Massachusetts on March 7. Over two thousand people attended. The other two officers are still recovering from their wounds. The suspect was charged with capital murder, firstdegree murder, two counts of malicious wounding of a police officer, and three counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. His child is being cared for by the Department of Health and Human Services. Ashley Guindon graduated from Embry-Riddle in Daytona with the

Guindon was a member of the Marine Corps Reserves, where she flew helicopters. Guindon graduated from the Police Academy in June of 2015 but took an immediate leave of absence. Officer Guindon was Roman Catholic, and volunteered with the Suicide Prevention Program, helped at the soup kitchen on Thanksgiving and other community activities where a helping hand was needed. Her memorial at
Embry-Riddle was presented in a Catholic manner. The first person to give remembrance of Guindon was Professor Bonner, who had much to say about Guindon’s work ethic and determination. She had a lot of both, and “... she was one to put service above self.” The second was a friend of Guindon’s; 1st Lieutenant Michael Lima, of the Army Reserves. He was an underclassman to Ashley, but they shared classes in Homeland Security. He had many great things to say about her as well; saying that "she was a very intelligent, passionate and hard-working person." He remarked on how,

Arts & Letters Concert Florida Invests in ERAU Jaclyn Wiley News Editor The College of Aviation atrium was the site of the performance of soprano Shirley Wang and pianist Mark Looney on March 25. This musical performance was quite diverse, with songs from multiple countries being performed by the duo, many of which were in foreign languages, including Chinese, German, and French. This performance was free to Embry-Riddle students, faculty, and staff, as well as the general public. The Embry-Riddle Arts & Letters Committee hosted the event, with the goal of enriching the cultural environment of ERAU and its students. The Committee is an organization based out of the College of Arts and Sciences and is funded by donations from the Embry-Riddle and Daytona Beach communities.
Shirley Wang, a native of Taipei, Taiwan, sung multiple songs at the performance. An esteemed operatic soprano, Wang has performed all across the United States, including at Carnegie Hall. Wang is bilingual in Chinese and English, and can sing operatic pieces in French, German, Italian, and Chinese. In addition to being a singer, Wang is a linguist, choral director, pianist, and actress. Mark Looney played piano at the concert, both as an accompaniment for Wang and solo. He concluded the concert with an original composition, which is one of many. Looney has released five original albums of inspirational music and two pop albums. A highly trained musician, Looney has performed live throughout the United States and had his music played on national television and various radio stations.
The Arts & Letters Committee encourages the students of ERAU to, "support the arts, come out to the shows, maybe volunteer, and make some suggestions." Students who want to become more involved with the Arts & Letters Committee should contact Dr. Straubel or another committee member, the list of committee members can be found on Connections. The cultural atmosphere of the campus would benefit from any amount of contribution to the committee. The Arts & Letter Committee brings multiple culturally enriching events to the Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach campus over the course of the academic year. Some of the events that the Arts & Letters Committee has brought here in the past include other musical performances, talent shows featuring ERAU students and faculty, and plays by the American Shakespeare Center.
Michael Nisip Business Manager Gov. Rick Scott (R) signed a record $82B budget on Tuesday, March 15, the same day it was sent to his desk by the Florida Legislature. The budget, nicknamed "Florida First," is designed to help make Florida #1 in job creation, government efficiency, education, environmental protection, healthy families, public safety and strong communities. The Florida First Budget will help diversify Florida's economy by cutting over $1B in taxes for Florida families and businesses, making Florida more competitive to help small businesses succeed and investing historic funding in K-12 education, State Colleges and Universities, so Florida has the most highly skilled workforce in the world. Gov. Scott's desire to make Florida the most highly skilled workforce in the world naturally couples with Embry-Riddle being the premier aviation and aerospace university in the world, yielding a
substantial $10M investment into ERAU initiatives. The $10M funding package will be divided into three separate grants for the University. The first is a $5M grant for construction of a new wind tunnel complex that will serve as a major differentiator at the University’s research park, which is currently under construction. The wind tunnel will have capabilities unsurpassed by anyone else in the Southeast region of the United States, and will help students gain valuable realworld experience while still in the classroom. The second grant, for $3M, will help continue the Gaetz Aerospace Institute – a STEM education program founded in 2004, and is currently active in over 70 high schools and 35 counties throughout Florida. This program offers free college credits and hands-on experience in courses focusing on growing industries such as aviation, unmanned systems, aerospace, engineering, computers, and business. Across the state, nearly 3,000
high school students have, or a currently enrolled in the program. The final $2M grant will focus on aiding qualified student pilots to secure needed certifications at a reduced cost to become employable first officers. "Embry-Riddle students continue to command the attention of employers, landing jobs in their chosen fields at impressive rates," said Dr. John R. Watret, Interim President. "This underscores the high return on investment for an Embry-Riddle education and our commitment to building a qualified workforce in Florida and beyond." Florida is ranked #1 in the nation by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in aerospace manufacturing attractiveness, and as the #2 largest aviation, aerospace, and space establishment by the U.S. Department of Labor.

“Zootopia” Delivers for Adults Too Andrew Bronshteyn Staff Reporter Going into “Zootopia” I expected something funny, heartwarming, and rewatchable. I was not disappointed. I saw the movie trailers in front of Youtube videos and was excited to see it. “Zootopia” was intelligent and humorous, surprisingly so. There were some very subtle jokes and references that children who watched it will probably understand in seven or eight years, like certain jokes about rabbit families and the rate at which they grow, a hilarious tribute to the movie “The Godfather,” and even a subtle reference to “Breaking Bad.” Zootopia also some of the crispest animation yet. There is a scene with rain and puddles, and the amount of detail
put into the reflections, the ripples, the droplets was astonishing. Additionally, the animation on the various animals’ fur was excellent, and the backgrounds and scenery were first-rate. The movie was clever in its way of presenting the conscious and unconscious ways that animals behave, as well as some great jokes about the size differences between animals. The main theme of “Zootopia” was about bias, though not specifically about sexism or racism. The movie was about all forms of bias, which was handled in a manner that all viewers could understand. As one adult movie goer remarked, “it was a bit heavy-handed.” We must remember that Disney aimed the story at children, rather
than adults, so, of course, the moral of the story seemed overly obvious to the adults in the audience. If this were a film aimed at adults, the heavyhandedness of the message would be unacceptable, but “Zootopia” is, at its core, a movie for children. I sincerely hope that this movie does not go the way of older Disney movies and spur two sequels (one of them being alright and the other being garbage). Although, it would be incredibly easy for them to do so. They left themselves with a format ready for buddy-cop / detective movies. All-in-all, Zootopiawas a great movie with a lot of laughs and many touching moments. I highly recommend watching it.

Audience Wins at “Batman v Superman” Delilah Campos Staff Reporter Superhero movies always bring a big crowd to the movies; there is a special form of novelty that comes with beloved comic book characters coming to life on the silver screen. Many people waited months, even years, for the “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.” It was emotionally draining for long-time fans to see only the small clips of the film released in the trailers. Many fans spent large amounts of time worrying if Ben Affleck could actually play Bruce Wayne or if Jesse Eisenberg could be Lex Luthor. The worry is over because the film was released to the public on March 24. The film has received mixed reviews from critics since its release. Indeed, “Dawn of Justice” had a slow start, but built the story up to develop the characters. It was actionpacked, with multiple car chases and fight scenes. The most anticipated fight was that between the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight, for which “Dawn of Justice” delivered. Some critics have said that the movie did not follow the most recent comics for any of the char-
acters portrayed. “Dawn of Justice” did, however, follow one particular comic storyline, which will go unnamed for spoiler reasons. The comic that the movie followed was controversial upon its released, and is understandably controversial in the modern world. One thing that the comics were mostly positive about was the the introduction fans have been waiting for years for – the introduction of Wonder Woman. She appears in the film played by Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman very well, keeping the character true with a Greek accent. She also brings the cool and collected aspect that Wonder Woman has, as well the hardcore, in-control leader that influences many women to be confident and powerful. Additionally, “Dawn of Justice,” showcases the sheer power that Wonder Woman has as a fighter and a soldier through the cinematography. This power was hard earned through many years of training, which took place in the Wonder Woman’s homeland Themyscira, also known as Paradise Island, in the comics. The cinematography in “Dawn of Justice” is amazing, in some scenes. The cinematography in one
particular scene, which is very often portrayed in DC media, was to a degree of excellence that the scene stood out in “Dawn of Justice” and in the various portrayals of said scene in all DC media. It is important to note that the Batman presented in “Dawn of Justice” is not the Batman from Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” series. The Batman in “Dawn of Justice” is a different version of the Bruce Wayne character, more similar to that in the comics that to that of Christopher Nolan. The Superman in “Dawn of Justice” is the same character from “Man of Steel.” Clark Kent, at his core, is an optimistic character. This aspect of the Man of Steel was not well translated in the movie that shares that name, but was more successfully portrayed in “Dawn of Justice.” Wonder Woman has not been portrayed in any DC live-action movie until now, so the one presented in “Dawn of Justice” is native to that universe. So are the rest of the members of the future Justice League, though certain members have been portrayed in other live-action media, like television, in recent years. The film overall is a great move forward than just reboots of the two
Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice
main heroes that we have had for the past 20 years. “Dawn of Justice” also gives hints that there will be a Justice League movie, and includes many references to many characters that DC fans will recognize.
DC is late to the game in developing its cinematic universe, or rather, consolidating it into one universe, but holds promise. The film is definitely worth the price of
admission, or at least a watch at some point in time on some media or another. Zack Snyder has once again made the DC universe come to life, and promised a bright future for the its franchise.

Amazon Introduces Selfie-Pay Vamsi Konduru Staff Reporter A picture is worth a thousand words, but it could soon be worth a thousand dollars. Amazon.com Inc. has recently filed a patent application for the technology used to authenticate purchases with a selfie. The new payment option may soon replace password input or even one-click buying. As Amazon explains in the filing, manually entering passwords is less secure than facial recognition, since those passwords are easily stolen. Instead, Amazon suggests “a computing device might
capture an image of a user and analyze that image to attempt to recognize the user using facial recognition software.” One potential problem with Selfie Pay is that the facial recognition system might be tricked by photographs of the user, which could lead to financial disaster for that person. Amazon addressed this potential problem in their plan as well. The Amazon solution to the problem is to prompt the user to perform a movement, like smiling or moving their head, or adopting a new facial expression, like a smile or grimace. This solution adds an extra level of secu-
rity to the system. Selfie pay is more convenient than the traditional input of passwords, Amazon claims. Entering passwords on mobile devices is cumbersome, especially if they are long, and could "require the user to turn away from friends or co-workers when entering a password, which can be awkward or embarrassing in many situations," said Amazon. The result, according to their patent application, is that users often store their passwords on their devices or choose short and simple passwords which could be easily accessed by unauthorized users like kids, friends and others in

making the purchase. Using Selfie as a mode of purchasing may sound unrealistic or outlandish, the method seems like a safer and simpler replacement for the account pass-
word, and may eventually be the norm. Amazon is not alone in developing this technology. Alibaba, an online marketplace company similar to Amazon based in Hangzhou, China,

So, what better way to defy that stereotype than by going to a Donald Trump rally? That’s exactly what I did; not as a protestor or a supporter, but as someone with an open mind. Like many of my peers, I am always looking to expand my political viewpoints. So, I figured that there was no better way to do that than by going straight to the source of political ideas. Upon arriving, my friends and I stood in a line that was half a mile in length to get into the CFE Arena at UCF. Vendors were out peddling Trump memorabilia, pins that read, “Bomb the hell out of ISIS”
and “Hillary for Prison 2016,” and, of course, the typical red “Make America Great Again” truckers net cap. As we got closer to the arena, a barrier and buffer zone of about 25 feet separated us from the protestors. The protestors were out in the 100’s. People in line were antagonizing them by shouting pro-Trump rhetoric. Since seating was firstcome, first-serve, we took seats behind the podium. The CFE Arena has a capacity of around 10,000 people, and it was packed. Signs reading “The Silent Majority Stands with Trump,” and “Trump 2016,” were at every seat. Different speakers, ranging from a mother whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant in cold blood to a former Disney employee who was being laid off and had to train his foreign replacement on an H1B visa, talked to
the crowd before the main event. At around 3:15, Mr. Trump came to the stage amongst roars of applause and The Alan Parsons Project’s song “Sirius”. Over the course of the next hour and fifteen minutes, I listened to what he had to say. No video editing, no commentators, nothing. About 50 feet from me stood a candidate for leader of the free world. During this whole event, my friends and I counted about 28 instances of protestors interrupting Trump’s speech. Trump uttered his typical “Get ‘em out” line. In fairness, he did say “But don’t hurt them.” He then brought up a valid point. He said, “I say ‘Get ‘em out’ and the media says I’m mean, but then I say ‘Don’t hurt them,’ and they say I’m weak.” My initial thought was that he says this because he doesn’t want to be sued. This happened around
one-third of the way in. What made national news at the rally is when Trump had people promise to vote for him in the primary by raising their right hands and reciting an “oath.” This was the first time this happened. I didn’t think much of it only because I figured that almost everyone there was going to vote for him regardless, and he's just preaching to the choir. Those who were there in the way I was, just didn’t do it. However, something happened at the halfway point that I’m almost positive no news outlet reported. A woman standing on the floor directly in front of the stage fainted. Initially, Trump thought it was a protestor and stopped his speech with his guns directed in the general direction. Someone signaled that she had fainted, and Trump said, "We need a doctor." He then proceeded to walk to
the corner of the stage closest to her and wait for her to be wheeled out. Twenty seconds later, a man on the floor tried to give him a bouquet of flowers. Trump then directed him to chase down the woman and give her the flowers. I believe this instance showed a crack in his extremist façade. From what I saw, Trump is tired of partisanship and wants people to reach across the aisle. My theory is he is spouting extreme ideas to draw attention to himself and get elected. Such extreme ideas are labeling Muslims, deporting all illegal immigrants, and, the famous, building a wall at the southern border and having Mexico pay for it. This, however, is terrifying in the sense that it is those extreme ideas that draw such huge crowds. In no way does this article express my views, the views of The Avion, or the
views of Embry-Riddle, but what it should say is not to believe everything that is said to you. We have all seen people do this by sharing articles from The Onion thinking they are real. This article is meant to be strictly informative and unbiased. I am not trying to sway your opinion one way or another, but am trying to shed light on a topic that affects all of us. I leave you with this: we, as a country, must come together to defeat common enemies, both foreign and domestic. When you vote, do not vote blindly for your party, vote for who you think will honestly work with Congress to move our country in the right direction. Also, 469 seats in Congress are up for reelection. As we have seen in the past, if a president and Congress do not work together, then it is not united, we stand, but divided, there can be no change.

The single Rolls-Royce Pegasus turbofan engine provides up to 23,800 lbf. The vertical or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) capability makes the Harrier ideal for aircraft carrier operations and precise ground attacks.

Thunder and Lightning Over AZ Jack Taylor Photo Editor
Over the deserts of Arizona jets from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base roar all day and night. Once every two years the base opens to the public and puts on a spectacular show. With everything from A-10s and F-22s, to the comical Jelly Belly aircraft, this show has it all. The Avion had a unique opportunity to cover the Thunder and Lightning airshow in Tucson, AZ. This unique show features several military air-
craft and mission demonstrations that can’t be found at typical airshows. The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II “Warthog” stole the show again with its superior air to ground support demonstration. Two parachute jumpers representing downed pilots landed in the show box. A-10s immediately were on the scene to provide support to the pilots. The A-10 specializes in this field with its 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling-Type autocannon. Seven barrels of freedom pump out 4,200 rounds of depleted uranium core bullets
every minute. The two A-10s strafe the runway with cannon fire and bombs keeping the pilots safe while backup arrives. A Sikorsky HH-60 Pave Hawk enters the protected scene and recovers the pilots. Once extracted, the A-10s escort the Pave Hawk to safety. Other performances included a U.S. Customs and Border Protection mock chase where a UH-60 Black Hawk and a AS350 A-Star work together to capture a felon on the run. Shifting the mood from operations to entertainment, Kent Pietsch in his Interstate Cadet performs a comedy rou-
tine. Pretending to have no flight experience, Kent flies his aircraft with hilarious results. Pietsch loses his aileron in the first minute of his witty routine and strikes his wing on the runway in an attempt to land by ‘reading his instruction book’. His second performance, Kent attempts to land his aircraft on a moving truck at 55mph and is successful on his third try. For his finale, Kent turns off is engine midflight and lands like a glider. He taxies his unpowered aircraft with incredible precision and places the nose of the prop right into the palm of a brave volunteer’s hand.

Calling all Pilots: The Civil Air Patrol Wants You Arrash Shekari Correspondent Are you a pilot looking to build hours and possibly serve your community and with your flying skills? If so, the Ormond Beach Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol is in need of you. The Civil Air Patrol, which is the official auxiliary to the United States Air Force, has three congressionally chartered missions: emergency services, cadet programs
and aerospace education. To complete the objectives of these missions, the Civil Air Patrol operates a fleet of small fixed wing aircraft on sorties ranging from cadet orientation rides, Search and Rescue, ELT location, organ transport and airborne photography. The minimum requirements to be a Civil Air Patrol mission pilot is an FAA private pilot certificate with 200 hours pilot in command and 50 hours
cross country. However, if you have not met the time requirements to be a mission pilot, there is still another opportunity to a pilot in the Civil Air Patrol as a transport mission pilot. To be a transport mission pilot, you must have 100 hours PIC and 50 hours cross country. Transport pilots may transport Civil Air Patrol members, ferry aircraft, fly “high bird” communication sorties, and trans-
port parts or equipment needed for missions. Being a pilot in the Civil Air Patrol is a strictly volunteer endeavor; however, there are also some side benefits to being a Civil Air Patrol pilot. Such as the opportunity to rent an aircraft cheaper than from an FBO when it is not currently being used for a mission and monthly paid proficiency flying for qualified mission pilots. For more information
on the Civil Air Patrol visit www.gocivilairpatrol.com or visit the Ormond Beach Composite Squadron Facebook page. You may also contact the Squadron public affairs officer, Flight Officer Mike Shekari, at ashekari@flwg.us with any questions. The Ormond Beach Composite Squadron meets on Monday nights at 1900 at the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport: 760 Airport Road, Ormond Beach, FL 32174.

ULA, Orbital ATK Partner to Resupply ISS Andy Bronshteyn Staff Reporter
Launch Control Center CRS-8 - Falcon 9
April 8 @ 4:43pm EDT Cape Canaveral AFS SLC-40
JCSAT14 - Falcon 9
A crucial delivery to the International Space Station was successfully launched March 22, because of the successful cooperation of Orbital ATK and ULA. At 11:05 p.m., the Atlas V 401 vehicle lifted off from Cape Canaveral, carrying the Cygnus space vehicle named the S.S. Rick Husband, on its way to an orbital rendezvous with the International Space Station. The astronaut that the spacecraft is named after is Col. Rick Husband, USAF, former commander of the Columbia on STS-107, which was lost during re-entry 13 years ago on February 1st, 2003. The United Launch Alliance (ULA) produced the Atlas V 401 vehicle used to lift the Orbital ATK Cygnus space vehicle into orbit, where it would complete its mission to resupply the International Space Station. This mission is the 106th ULA launch and the 62nd launch of the Atlas V launch vehicle. This was also the 2nd ULA mission which supported the ISS with a cargo resupply. The Atlas V 401 is a member of the Atlas V family of vehicles, which were first introduced in August of 2002. Since then, the Atlas V family has had a perfect record of success for all 62 of their launches. The Atlas program, which includes the Atlas V family and others, has logged over 600 launches since its creation in the 1950s. The Atlas V used for this mission was produced modularly in multiple locations around the world. For example, the RD-180 Engine Fabrication took place at NPO Energomash in Khimki, Russia. ULA confirmed the day afterward that there had been a “small hiccup” with the ascent. The main engines of the first stage cut off about five seconds prematurely, leaving behind a substantial amount of unused thrust. However, the margin of error was large enough that the second stage corrected the problem by burning for fifteen minutes instead of fourteen. The United Launch Alliance is currently investigating what happened so that they can fine-tune their next spacecraft. On Saturday, the 26th, the Cygnus was captured by the ISS and successfully docked at 6:51 a.m. EDT (1051 GMT), when Expedition 47 Commander Tim Kopra operated the CANADARM2 to grab the Cygnus and connect it to the Earth-facing side of the station. Orbital ATK produced the Cygnus space vehicle, which measures 20 feet in length and carried over 7400 lbs of cargo. On board, the Cygnus is a multitude of new experiments for the ISS crew to run, including; a planned and controlled fire to research the dynamics of fire in microgravity (SAFFIRE), a prototype for mechanical adhesion, a prototype for additive manufacturing. As well as those, there is an instrument called METEOR which analyzes the composition of meteors which enter Earth’s upper atmosphere. There are 1713 pounds of “Science Utilization” cargo in total. The Crew Supplies section of the cargo took up over 2500 pounds of supplies, including food for both US and Russian astronauts, hygiene towels for the Russian crew, and printer ink and paper. The Vehicle Hardware section of the cargo took just under 2500 pounds; circuit cards, charcoal and bacteria filters, a water sampling kit, and assorted toiletries. The cargo ship will spend the next 55 days at the station - through May 20th - where it will then be filled with trash for disposal. Cygnus will eventually detach from the station with about 5000 lbs of disposal cargo and spend about eight days in space after unberthing from the station before re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. During those eight days, it will conduct the SAFFIRE experiment, and the data from it will be collected upon landing.
