La NASA lanza páginas web en español sobre aeronáutica
Como parte de su empeño por proporcionar más recursos e información a nuevos públicos, la NASA ha lanzado nuevas páginas web con información sobre aeronáutica en español. El objetivo de estas páginas es hacer más accesible el contenido aeronáutico a la comunidad hispanohablante.
"Se trata de un significativo paso adelante en nuestros esfuerzos por poner los conocimientos que hemos acumulado en la NASA a disposición de la gente de todo el país, y del mundo. Nos estamos asegurando de que a medida que exploramos y abordamos los mayores retos a los que se enfrenta la aviación, estamos proporcionando beneficios para todos", dijo Bob Pearce, administrador asociado de la Dirección de Misiones de Investigación Aeronáutica de la NASA. "Al presentar información sobre aeronáutica y materiales educativos en español, estamos esforzándonos por fomentar una próxima generación de exploradores diversa, audaz y capaz. Contamos con esta generación para ayudar a la NASA a llevar su visión hacia el futuro."
Según datos de la Oficina del Censo de Estados Unidos, el español es la segunda lengua más hablada en este país, después del inglés. La traducción de los contenidos aeronáuticos de la NASA ayudará a inspirar a la próxima generación de exploradores de la NASA.
Las páginas web ofrecen material educativo sobre el trabajo que realiza la Dirección de Misiones de Investigación Aeronáutica de la NASA. Contienen información sobre las principales prioridades de la agencia, incluida la aviación sostenible. La NASA se ha comprometido a conseguir que las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero del sector de la aviación sean nulas en 2050 y se esfuerza por alcanzar ese objetivo liderando campos que van desde las tecnologías ecológicas y el diseño de aeronaves hasta la fabricación de materiales compuestos y las pruebas de combustibles sostenibles. Las nuevas páginas ayudarán a la agencia a dar a conocer esta labor a nuevos miembros del público.
Además, las páginas web cubrirán los avances tecnológicos desarrollados por la NASA, como la misión Quesst, que demostrará la tecnología supersónica silenciosa, posiblemente abriendo la puerta a vuelos supersónicos comerciales sobre tierra. Los lectores podrán informarse sobre la misión de Movilidad Aérea Avanzada de la NASA (que tiene como objetivo ayudar al desarrollo de sistemas de transporte aéreo en todo el país), pruebas aeronáuticas en los túneles de viento de la NASA y otras instalaciones, y mucho más.
Las páginas web también contienen contenidos diseñados para jóvenes estudiantes centrados en la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería y las matemáticas (STEM, por sus siglas en inglés), destinados a ayudar a padres y profesores a iniciar a los niños en estos campos de estudio.

AES opens new office in Malaga, Spain
https://aesglobal.co.uk/2023/01/31/aes-opens-new-office-in-malaga-spain/
Leading aircraft design and certification specialist, Aerospace Engineering Solutions (AES), is powering into 2023 with the launch of a new office in Malaga, Spain, as the company embarks on a phase of international expansion.
Trading as AES Spain, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AES, the new operation will enable the business to develop new partnerships with commercial and private aviation clients across Europe, which will benefit from the unrestricted level 2A Design Organisation Approval (DOA) capability held by AES.
Located at Malaga’s state-of-the-art business incubator technology park, BIC Euronova, AES Spain is the first DOA in Malaga and only the second in Andalucía. The new operation has also become a member of the Andalucía Aerospace cluster of more than sixty aerospace companies based in the region, for the purpose of fostering technological developments, potential project collaboration and strengthening its international presence.
In addition to a team of highly skilled design engineers, AES Spain has recruited two aerospace engineering graduates from the University of Malaga, as part of the company’s commitment to future-proofing its skills base.
Speaking at the launch of AES Spain, Anton Heissig, Director and Head of Design, said:
“The launch of our new office in Malaga is testament to the support of all the AES team, shareholders, clients and partners, which has enabled us to expand our international capacity as part of the company’s strategy for growth. We are proud to be the first DOA based in Malaga, which gives AES a solid footing in Europe and a deeper integration with our continental partners.
“We are also delighted to welcome new Spanish personnel onboard and look forward to building partnerships within the Andalucía Aerospace cluster, which we see as a valuable network for growing our presence within the European aviation community.”
Lola Lahoz, Malaga Design Office Manager and Deputy Head of Office of Airworthiness, commented:
“Our new DOA Office in Malaga provides an excellent base to build the profile and capacity of AES internationally, both in civil and military aviation markets. BIC Euronova is the ideal environment to help AES expand its expertise in aerospace certification with current and new business sectors such as drone certification in collaboration with the Andalucia Aerospace cluster.
“We also aim to further develop links with Spanish universities and build a base to forge links in other Spanish speaking countries in South America.”

Boeing to Retain ICBM Guidance Systems Work into Late 2030s
Boeing will maintain the around-the-clock readiness and accuracy of Minuteman ICBM guidance systems — which have logged more than 40 million hours of continuous operation — to ensure safe, secure and effective strategic deterrence into the late 2030s.
"We built the Minuteman's guidance system, so no one knows it like Boeing. Our highly-specialized facilities and top-flight engineers enable us to sustain it with unmatched quality and precision," said Ted Kerzie, program director of Strategic Deterrence Systems. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Air Force on this all-important mission."
The Boeing-built ICBM weapon system has served as the backbone of the U.S. nuclear triad since the inception of strategic deterrence. Boeing is the only company that has continuously supported every ICBM subsystem — guidance, ground, propulsion and re-entry — over the lifetime of the system.
