Lessons from Haiti
UN-SPIDER Team
When the devastating earthquake of magnitude 7 struck Haiti on 12 January 2010, the UN-SPIDER SpaceAid framework was immediately activated and UN-SPIDER experts became involved in supporting the early response efforts less than 30 minutes after the earthquake hit.earthquake in Haiti High-resolution satellite images and detailed satellite image derived maps became vital to assess the damage and plan the relief

F-22 GINS: Ensuring the raptor always gets its prey
Lt Christine Laning
The 746th test squadron (746 TS) recently completed qualification testing on the F-22 Raptor’s Global Inertial Navigation System. The GINS unit is an on-board, allaltitude, worldwide navigation subsystem that provides GPS, navigation and attitude data required to support the other F-22 aircraft subsystems
