This article is from the 2024 Technical Update.

In 2015, the NESC released benchmark Earth-based check-cases for well specified, rigid-body, six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) aero/spacecraft models to promote consistent and accurate flight simulations across multiple Agency tools and facilities. Recently, the NESC expanded upon that effort to add Lunar-based check-cases to support new lunar exploration initiatives. This study produced a smaller, focused set of cases that exercise new and unique features of missions in the lunar environment in comparison with 8 high-fidelity NASA simulation tools and provides a measure of validation for simulations supporting Human Landing Systems.

TB 24-04 Checkcase Scenario Description
TB 24-04 The participating 6DOF simulation tools include:

Results
The primary output of the check-cases is a time history of each output variable, which can then be plotted with any data plotting software. For simulation comparison, the results from multiple simulations are
plotted together. A static website was developed as a tool for the simulation groups to perform quick data comparison using interactive plots,access scenario specifications, and catalogue the results.

NESC TB24-04Example Comparisons: Case 5 (HLO) Sun Pointing Angle (pitch component) Regarding Vehicle Frame
Example Comparisons: Case 5 (HLO) Sun Pointing Angle (pitch component) Regarding Vehicle Frame
The Initial Comparison plots show the simulations were not implementing Check Case 5 correctly, or had other issues. The Final Comparison plots show identical results once corrections were implemented to the simulations, indicating the importance of using check cases.”

Benefits for the FM Community
Utilizing benchmarking check-cases improves the simulations being assessed, reduces errors, builds confidence in solutions, and serves to build credibility of simulation results per NASA Standard 7009A Standard for Models and Simulations. Simulation comparisons can benefit from utilizing common standards for defining parameters and sharing models and elevates the validation for critical simulations used to support insight or requirement compliance through analysis.

      Video: 00:03:02 From the arrival of Earth-obversation satellite Sentinel-2C in July 2024 and the first fit-check  to launch on the from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, this timelapse shows how the third Sentinel 2 satellite was prepared for launch. The last Vega rocket, flight VV24, lifted off on 5 September at 03:50 CEST (4 September 22:50 local time).
      Sentinel-2C will provide high-resolution data that is essential to Copernicus – the Earth observation component of the European Union’s Space programme. Developed, built and operated by ESA, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission provides high-resolution optical imagery for a wide range of applications including land, water and atmospheric monitoring.
      The mission is based on a constellation of two identical satellites flying in the same orbit but 180° apart: Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B. Together, they cover all of Earth’s land and coastal waters every five days. Once Sentinel-2C is operational, it will replace its predecessor, Sentinel-2A, following a brief period of tandem observations. Sentinel-2D will eventually take over from Sentinel-2B.
      Sentinel-2C was the last liftoff for the Vega rocket – after 12 years of service this was the final flight, the original Vega is being retired to make way for an upgraded Vega-C.

      In this interview from the Vetted podcast, Ron James, Director of Media Relations for MUFON and filmmaker of "The Accidental Truth," shares shocking new UFO evidence. xxx 
      Discover the latest findings from MUFON's upcoming symposium, including mysterious metals received by a Russian experiencer, the compelling 1955 Oregon UFO shootdown case, and a cryogenically frozen alien. 

      The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is set to reveal findings from a study on alleged UFO material. In a surprising announcement, MUFON has declared that it will present "the most important UAP-related presentation it has ever made" at a live event on July 13th. 
      The presentation will focus on alleged UAP material received from a Russian UFO investigator, which was reportedly part of an attempted cover-up. According to the press release, the material was tested in Russia and at a U.S. lab, with both investigations concluding it is "of unknown origin." 
      Some samples of the material were allegedly stolen from a U.S. Post Office Box before MUFON Investigator Robert Spearing could retrieve them. The investigation into the theft was hindered by tampered CCTV cameras. 
      "This is typical with evidence of this nature," said MUFON Media Relations Director Ron James. "We believe that this material was deliberately taken by someone who could hack into a locked Post Office Box to prevent further testing. Who did it is anybody's guess." 
      According to MUFON: "The evidence that supports this story, and others that we will share at the Symposium, could make this the biggest UFO-related news event of the year. We have physical materials and more evidence of non-human technology." 
      But, I wouldn't hold out much hope for anything coming from this. 
      For example the UAP material received from a Russian UFO investigator: One commenter @FAA-DPE on Chris Letho's YouTube channel stated: I recognize that material from years of working in petrochemical plants. Shell Norco LA, Union Carbide Taft LA, etc. And it's IDENTICAL to the byproduct of "Fluid Coking" Hydrocarbons. It makes a very unique and strange byproduct material that does not exist in nature and would confuse most of today's lab techs. if they were not given some idea. 
      About the photo previewed by Ron James on the podcast of the supposedly shot down disk, commenter @zimzimma5688 on Chris Letho's YouTube channel stated: It took all of about 24 hours before that photo previewed by Ron James on the podcast of the supposedly shot down disk in the woods with the two "army men" retrieving it that was going to be a centerpiece at this Mufon conference, was shown to be fake. The two blurry army men exactly match a set of toy figurines. The disk is obviously a model of some sort. 
      A lot of people in the community consider Mufon to be a compromised organization as well, essentially it functions as a tool for those responsible for the cover up/psy op. That I don't know to be true, but it would not surprise me. 
      Here's the interview from the Vetted podcast. Be cautious about what you choose to believe.

      The Department of Defense recently introduced the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office Website (AARO) to provide the public with information about AARO's mission to investigate and address unidentified anomalous phenomena. This website will serve as a platform for sharing details, including images and videos, related to resolved UAP cases that have been declassified and approved for public release. 

      However, it's essential to note that while some 'not important' UFO/UAP cases have been resolved and made public there is no doubt they are hiding a significant amount of UFO evidence collected by the US Government and the Department of Defense since 1947 than they publicly admitting but these undisclosed UFO/UAP cases are likely to remain classified and won't be featured on the AARO website. 
      When we talk about UFO/UAP cases, where military officers have claimed more data and video evidence exists than has been revealed, but has been seized by official authorities, we must recall three historical cases: 
      First, the 1952 Tremonton, UT UFO incident, where Navy Chief Photographer Delbert Newhouse filmed strange objects maneuvering in the sky. The US Air Force analyzed the footage and couldn't identify what the things were. Newhouse said the film didn't fully show what he saw with his naked eyes. 
      Next, astronaut Gordon Cooper's claims that he saw footage in 1957 at Edwards Air Force Base of a saucer-shaped UFO landing on a dry lake bed. The film was allegedly sent to Washington, and Cooper never saw it again. 
      Finally, Dr. Robert Jacobs, who was ordered in 1964 to film an ICBM test. He captured footage of a UFO firing beams of light at the warhead. Jacobs says men in gray suits confiscated the footage and ordered him to never speak of it again. 
      These three historical cases, analyzed by Chris Letho in the video below, provide credible evidence that the US government has more classified UFO data than it want to reveal to the public which may make you wonder what the real agenda is behind the AARO website.
