TBO-Met PROJECT On 7 June 2016 took place at the School of Engineering (ETSI) of the University of Seville the Kick-Off meeting of the project entitled “Meteorological Uncertainty Management for Trajectory Based Operations (TBO-Met)”. This project has received funding from the SESAR Joint Undertaking under grant agreement No 699294 under European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The project corresponds to the research topic “Environment & Meteorology for ATM”, which is part of the research area “ATM Excellent Science & Outreach” of the SESAR 2020 Exploratory Research programme (call H2020-SESAR-2015-1). TBO-Met is coordinated by the University of Seville (Spain) and the rest of the consortium is formed by the following members: University Carlos III of Madrid (Spain), University of Salzburg (Austria), MeteoSolutions GmbH (Darmstadt, Germany) and the Spanish meteorological agency  AEMET (Agencia Estatal de Meteorología). The coordinator of the project is Prof. Damián Rivas (drivas@us.es), director of the Group of Aerospace Engineering of ETSI. In this project we address the problem of analysing and quantifying the effects of meteorological uncertainties in Trajectory Based Operations. In particular, two problems are considered: 1) trajectory planning under meteorological uncertainties and 2) sector demand analysis under meteorological uncertainties, which correspond to two different scales: trajectory (micro) scale and sector (meso) scale. In each problem two types of meteorological uncertainties are considered: wind uncertainty and convective zones. Weather predictions will be based on Ensemble Probabilistic Forecasts and Nowcasts. At the trajectory scale, the main objective is to assess and improve the predictability of efficient 4D trajectories when weather uncertainty is taken into account, both at the pre-tactical level (up to three hours before departure) and at the tactical level (during the flight). To reach this goal, a methodology based on the use of stochastic trajectory optimization will be used. At the sector scale, the main objective is to analyse the impact of trajectory planning under weather uncertainty (as performed at the trajectory scale) on sector demand. To achieve this objective, a methodology will be developed to measure the uncertainty of sector demand (probabilistic sector loading), based on the uncertainty of the individual trajectories. This analysis will also provide an understanding of how weather uncertainty is propagated from the trajectory scale to the sector scale (this problem of uncertainty propagation between different scales of the system has been identified as one of the main research challenges in the understanding of the effects of meteorological uncertainty in the ATM system, see http://complexworld.eu/wiki/ComplexWorld_Wiki). The expected outcome of the project is two-fold: 1) to enhance our understanding of the impact of meteorological uncertainty in TBO, and 2) to develop methodologies to quantify the impact of meteorological uncertainty in TBO. The methodologies will be validated using advanced air...

The Department of Bioengineering and Aerospace Engineering at the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) launched a massive online course (MOOC) and open for free; in edX platform about space exploration, «The Conquest of Space: Space Exploration and Rocket Science«. As the title suggests, this is an introductory course on the history of astronautics in which there is space for basic aspects of aerospace engineering. This course is a first step for those who want to learn more about the history of space and the impact of space exploration in our daily lives. Both aspects are presented in an interleaved manner. For example, development of missiles is presented during the Second World War, along with the basic principles of operation of the rocket engines. This MOOC arose in response to the needs of undergraduate students, but is also intended for any fan of space. It is taught in English and begins on February 9 and registration (free) is now open. EDX platform founded by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University, where the UC3M is a partner, is an international leader in digital education, a large range of courses are followed by millions of people Worldwide. The course passed the UC3M offered its first MOOC’s on this platform and its courses were followed by students coming mostly from USA, UK, Canada, India and Brazil for courses in English; and Spain, Mexico, Peru and Colombia, in Spanish...
