But in an on-the-ground test in a temperature-and-air-pressure-controlled tank, the switch to the autonomous system had failed, and Yakov barely had time to sound the alarm before losing consciousness.
Another pilot had backed out because he found the on-the-ground tests physically intolerable.
My great-uncle's jump seems to have been prepared hastily: on-the-ground testing had only begun in August.
On-the-ground tests are encouraging, but proof will come when a plane powered by the tweaked Trents takes off which the firm hopes to try out later this year.The Monash device, put on display in the closing days of February at the Australian International Airshow, is what is known as an auxiliary power unit.
The second phase, scheduled to begin before the end of the year with $660,000 from the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, includes on-the-ground pack testing.
Indeed, by understanding areas of disagreement, we can infer potential areas for on-the-ground fly presence testing that would distinguish between the utility of each model for a given area.
Inspired by history, FII challenges low-income families to form cohorts with their friends in order to enroll in one of our Demonstrations, where we test an on-the-ground paradigm-shifting approach to spurring economic and social mobility.
The Conservancy's global cities program is focused on these on-the-ground solutions that can be tested, proven and replicated around the world to help communities adapt to a changing climate.
In this paper we describe the SuperAGILE experiment, its construction and test processes, and its performance before flight, based on the on-ground test and calibrations.
The synergistic effects due to these environmental elements are simulated by "on ground" tests, performed in the Space Environment Simulator SASS) at the University of Rome "La Sapienza"; numerical simulations are performed by the Space Environment Information System (SPENVIS), developed by the European Space Agency (ESA).
Meanwhile, the lander will monitor conditions on the ground and test technology for the ExoMars rover, which is expected to launch in 2020.
