v. t. e. The Universal Transverse Mercator ( UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth. Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude, it is a horizontal position representation, which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth surface as a perfect ellipsoid.
Unmanned aircraft system traffic management. Unmanned aircraft system traffic management (UTM) is an air traffic management ecosystem under development for autonomously controlled operations of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) by the FAA, NASA, other federal partner agencies, and industry. They are collaboratively exploring concepts of operation ...
P:OS. A view of the boundary between outer space and Earth, roughly where the yellow-green line of airglow is visible, at an altitude of 100 km, as viewed from the International Space Station (ISS). Outer space (or simply space) is the expanse beyond celestial bodies and their atmospheres. It contains ultra-low levels of particle densities ...

Sreedhara Panicker Somanath (born July 1963) is an Indian aerospace engineer serving as the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). [2]
The Spaceflight Portal includes several mechanisms that allow readers to get a sense of what Wikipedia offers related to spaceflight. A list of key topics-- articles that broadly cover various topics, and provide links to more specific material. A category browser covering articles about spaceflight, space exploration and spacecraft.
First solution that combines unconstrained space geodesy solutions free from any tectonic plate motion model. From this version onwards, the motion of the tectonic plate is represented in the solution for each station as a velocity vector. Previous ITRFs only continued the initial positions, using a motion model to fill in the velocity. ITRF2005
Satish Dhawan Space Centre – SDSC (formerly Sriharikota Range – SHAR ), [1] is the primary spaceport of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), located in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh . The Centre currently has two functioning launch pads used for launching sounding rockets, polar satellites and geosynchronous satellites.
A spaceport or cosmodrome is a site for launching or receiving spacecraft, by analogy to a seaport for ships or an airport for aircraft.The word spaceport, and even more so cosmodrome, has traditionally been used for sites capable of launching spacecraft into orbit around Earth or on interplanetary trajectories.
