C-130J Hercules of 30 Sqn RAF
C-130J Hercules Tactical Transport Aircraft, USA
The Lockheed Martin C-130 is the US Air Force principal tactical cargo and personnel transport aircraft, and the C-130J Hercules is the latest model, featuring a glass cockpit, digital avionics and a new propulsion system with a six-bladed propeller.
"The C-130 has been in continuous production since 1954 and over 2,260 Hercules have been built."
The C-130 has been in continuous production since 1954 and over 2,260 Hercules have been built for 67 countries. The improvements built into the C-130J, which entered production in 1997, have enhanced the performance of the aircraft in terms of range, cruise ceiling time to climb, speed and airfield requirements.
A stretched version, the C-130J-30 has been developed and is designated CC-130J by the USAF. The first C-130J-30 for the UK RAF (the launch customer) was delivered in November 1999.
The C-130J entered active service with the USAF at Little Rock Air Force Base in April 2004 and was first deployed in December 2004. The first combat airdrop for the USAF was in July 2005.
C-130J ORDERS
Over 180 C-130J and C-130J-30 aircraft have been ordered and over 121 delivered. Orders are: US Air Force, Air National Guard, Marine Corps and Coastguard (89 x C-130J and C-130J-30, 20 x KC-130J tankers), UK (ten x C-130J, 15 x C-130J-30, all delivered), Italian Air Force (12 x C-130J, ten x C-130J-30 all delivered), Royal Australian Air Force (12 x C-130J), Kuwaiti Air Force (four x C-130J-30) and Danish Air Force (three x C-130J-30, all delivered, plus one ordered in July 2004).
In April 2004, the US Marine Corps formally accepted the first KC-130J tanker / transport into service. The aircraft was first deployed in combat in April 2005 in Iraq.
Lockheed Martin is proposing the C-130J for the US Army / Air Force Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) competition. 70 aircraft are required by the army and 75 by the USAF. A decision is expected in 2007.
COCKPIT
The C-130J is crewed by two pilots and a loadmaster. The new glass cockpit features four L-3 display systems multifunction liquid crystal displays for flight control and navigation systems.
Each pilot has a Flight Dynamics Head-Up Display (HUD). The dual mission computers, supplied by BAE Systems IEWS, operate and monitor the aircraft systems and advise the crew of status.
"Lockheed Martin is proposing the C-130J for the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA)."
The cockpit is fitted with the Northrop Grumman low-power colour radar display. The map display shows digitally stored map image data. The C-130J is equipped with a Honeywell dual embedded Global Positioning System / Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS), an Enhanced Traffic alerting and Collision Avoidance System (E-TCAS), a ground collision avoidance system, SKE2000 station keeping system, and an Instrument Landing System (ILS).
CARGO SYSTEMS
The cargo bay of the C-130J has a total usable volume of over 4,500ft³ and can accommodate loads up to 37,216lb - for example, three armoured personnel carriers, five pallets, 74 litters (stretchers), 92 equipped combat troops or 64 paratroops. The bay is equipped with cargo handling rollers, tie-down rings, stowage containers and stowage for troop seats.
COUNTERMEASURES
The ATK AN/AAR-47 missile warning system uses electro-optic sensors to detect missile exhaust and advanced signal processing algorithms and spectral selection to analyse and prioritise threats. Sensors are mounted near the nose just below the second cockpit window and in the tail cone.
The BAE Systems AN/ALR-56M radar warning receiver is a superheterodyne receiver operating in the 2GHz to 20GHz bands. A low-band antenna and four high-band quadrant antennae are installed near the nose section below the second window of the cockpit and in the tail cone.
The BAE Systems Integrated Defense Solutions (formerly Tracor) AN/ALE-47 countermeasures system is capable of dispensing chaff and infrared flares in addition to the POET and GEN-X active expendable decoys.
The Lockheed Martin AN/ALQ-157 infrared countermeasures system generates a varying frequency-agile infrared jamming signal. The infrared transmitter is surface mounted at the aft end of the main undercarriage bay fairing.
"The C-130J is equipped with four Allison AE2100D3 turboprop engines, each rated at 4,591shp"
The USAF has selected the Northrop Grumman Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) system to equip its C-130 aircraft. LAIRCM is based on the AN/AAQ-24(V) NEMESIS.
It entered low-rate initial production in August 2002 and completed initial operational test and evaluation in July 2004. A five-year delivery order for the system was placed by the USAF in July 2006.
RADAR
The Northrop Grumman MODAR 4,000-colour weather and navigation radar is installed in the upward hinged dielectric radome in the nose of the aircraft. The weather radar has a range of 250nm.
ENGINES
The C-130J is equipped with four Allison AE2100D3 turboprop engines, each rated at 4,591 shaft horsepower (3,425kW). The all-composite six-blade R391 propeller system was developed by Dowty Aerospace.
The engines are equipped with Full-Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC) by Lucas Aerospace. An automatic thrust control system (ATCS) optimises the balance of power on the engines, allowing lower values of minimum control speeds and superior short-airfield performance.
The aircraft can carry a maximum internal fuel load of 45,900lb. An additional 18,700lb of fuel can be carried in external underwing fuel tanks. The refuelling probe installed on the centre of the fuselage has been relocated on the C-130J to the port side, over the cockpit.
STRETCHED C-130J-30
The C-130J-30 is the stretched version of the C-130J. The cargo floor length of the stretched version is increased from 40ft to 55ft which gives a significant increase in the aircraft's airlift capability.
"The cargo bay of the C-130J has a total usable volume of over 4,500ft³."
The stretched C-130J-30 can carry eight 463L pallets, 97 litters, 24 CDS (US Container Delivery System) bundles, 128 equipped combat troops or 92 paratroopers.
The first C-130J-30 for the UK RAF was delivered in November 1999 and deliveries of all 15 aircraft ordered were completed in June 2001.
The aircraft is in production for the US Air Force (39 aircraft, the first of which was delivered to the Air National Guard in December 2001), the Royal Australian Air Force (12), the Italian Air Force (ten) and has been ordered by the Kuwaiti Air Force (four) and the Danish Air Force (three).

C-130J Hercules of 30 Sqn RAF
C-130J Hercules Tactical Transport Aircraft, USA
The Lockheed Martin C-130 is the US Air Force principal tactical cargo and personnel transport aircraft, and the C-130J Hercules is the latest model, featuring a glass cockpit, digital avionics and a new propulsion system with a six-bladed propeller.
"The C-130 has been in continuous production since 1954 and over 2,260 Hercules have been built."
The C-130 has been in continuous production since 1954 and over 2,260 Hercules have been built for 67 countries. The improvements built into the C-130J, which entered production in 1997, have enhanced the performance of the aircraft in terms of range, cruise ceiling time to climb, speed and airfield requirements.
A stretched version, the C-130J-30 has been developed and is designated CC-130J by the USAF. The first C-130J-30 for the UK RAF (the launch customer) was delivered in November 1999.
The C-130J entered active service with the USAF at Little Rock Air Force Base in April 2004 and was first deployed in December 2004. The first combat airdrop for the USAF was in July 2005.
C-130J ORDERS
Over 180 C-130J and C-130J-30 aircraft have been ordered and over 121 delivered. Orders are: US Air Force, Air National Guard, Marine Corps and Coastguard (89 x C-130J and C-130J-30, 20 x KC-130J tankers), UK (ten x C-130J, 15 x C-130J-30, all delivered), Italian Air Force (12 x C-130J, ten x C-130J-30 all delivered), Royal Australian Air Force (12 x C-130J), Kuwaiti Air Force (four x C-130J-30) and Danish Air Force (three x C-130J-30, all delivered, plus one ordered in July 2004).
In April 2004, the US Marine Corps formally accepted the first KC-130J tanker / transport into service. The aircraft was first deployed in combat in April 2005 in Iraq.
Lockheed Martin is proposing the C-130J for the US Army / Air Force Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) competition. 70 aircraft are required by the army and 75 by the USAF. A decision is expected in 2007.
COCKPIT
The C-130J is crewed by two pilots and a loadmaster. The new glass cockpit features four L-3 display systems multifunction liquid crystal displays for flight control and navigation systems.
Each pilot has a Flight Dynamics Head-Up Display (HUD). The dual mission computers, supplied by BAE Systems IEWS, operate and monitor the aircraft systems and advise the crew of status.
"Lockheed Martin is proposing the C-130J for the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA)."
The cockpit is fitted with the Northrop Grumman low-power colour radar display. The map display shows digitally stored map image data. The C-130J is equipped with a Honeywell dual embedded Global Positioning System / Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS), an Enhanced Traffic alerting and Collision Avoidance System (E-TCAS), a ground collision avoidance system, SKE2000 station keeping system, and an Instrument Landing System (ILS).
CARGO SYSTEMS
The cargo bay of the C-130J has a total usable volume of over 4,500ft³ and can accommodate loads up to 37,216lb - for example, three armoured personnel carriers, five pallets, 74 litters (stretchers), 92 equipped combat troops or 64 paratroops. The bay is equipped with cargo handling rollers, tie-down rings, stowage containers and stowage for troop seats.
COUNTERMEASURES
The ATK AN/AAR-47 missile warning system uses electro-optic sensors to detect missile exhaust and advanced signal processing algorithms and spectral selection to analyse and prioritise threats. Sensors are mounted near the nose just below the second cockpit window and in the tail cone.
The BAE Systems AN/ALR-56M radar warning receiver is a superheterodyne receiver operating in the 2GHz to 20GHz bands. A low-band antenna and four high-band quadrant antennae are installed near the nose section below the second window of the cockpit and in the tail cone.
The BAE Systems Integrated Defense Solutions (formerly Tracor) AN/ALE-47 countermeasures system is capable of dispensing chaff and infrared flares in addition to the POET and GEN-X active expendable decoys.
The Lockheed Martin AN/ALQ-157 infrared countermeasures system generates a varying frequency-agile infrared jamming signal. The infrared transmitter is surface mounted at the aft end of the main undercarriage bay fairing.
"The C-130J is equipped with four Allison AE2100D3 turboprop engines, each rated at 4,591shp"
The USAF has selected the Northrop Grumman Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) system to equip its C-130 aircraft. LAIRCM is based on the AN/AAQ-24(V) NEMESIS.
It entered low-rate initial production in August 2002 and completed initial operational test and evaluation in July 2004. A five-year delivery order for the system was placed by the USAF in July 2006.
RADAR
The Northrop Grumman MODAR 4,000-colour weather and navigation radar is installed in the upward hinged dielectric radome in the nose of the aircraft. The weather radar has a range of 250nm.
ENGINES
The C-130J is equipped with four Allison AE2100D3 turboprop engines, each rated at 4,591 shaft horsepower (3,425kW). The all-composite six-blade R391 propeller system was developed by Dowty Aerospace.
The engines are equipped with Full-Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC) by Lucas Aerospace. An automatic thrust control system (ATCS) optimises the balance of power on the engines, allowing lower values of minimum control speeds and superior short-airfield performance.
The aircraft can carry a maximum internal fuel load of 45,900lb. An additional 18,700lb of fuel can be carried in external underwing fuel tanks. The refuelling probe installed on the centre of the fuselage has been relocated on the C-130J to the port side, over the cockpit.
STRETCHED C-130J-30
The C-130J-30 is the stretched version of the C-130J. The cargo floor length of the stretched version is increased from 40ft to 55ft which gives a significant increase in the aircraft's airlift capability.
"The cargo bay of the C-130J has a total usable volume of over 4,500ft³."
The stretched C-130J-30 can carry eight 463L pallets, 97 litters, 24 CDS (US Container Delivery System) bundles, 128 equipped combat troops or 92 paratroopers.
The first C-130J-30 for the UK RAF was delivered in November 1999 and deliveries of all 15 aircraft ordered were completed in June 2001.
The aircraft is in production for the US Air Force (39 aircraft, the first of which was delivered to the Air National Guard in December 2001), the Royal Australian Air Force (12), the Italian Air Force (ten) and has been ordered by the Kuwaiti Air Force (four) and the Danish Air Force (three).

''Twilight States and the Edges of Darkness is a collaborative site-specific mixed and multimedia installation that responds to a selected site at Bundanon, the rural New South Wales estate gifted to the Australian government by the artist Arthur Boyd to support arts practice and promote engagement with the natural and cultural landscape. Exhibited as part of the Bundanon’s annual one day event Siteworks, this work aims to “create a contemplative space for encountering multi-sensorial, and preternatural connections to the environment through the use of endangered flora in New South Wales. Images of these plants are expressed through embroidered textiles, sculptural forms, and micro-electronics. The audience is encouraged to explore the shifting quality of the work from day to night. Twilight States is a gentle intervention in the landscape that reminds us of our connections to the ecosystems to which we belong.''

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Powerful Irish women in tech to be honoured by UCC
The first Irish woman to be named as Corporate Vice President at Intel and Appleâs Vice President of European Operations are among those to be honoured at UCCâs Alumni Achievement Awards on Friday.
Ann Kelleher, corporate vice president in Intelâs Technology and Manufacturing Group and General Manager of the Semiconductor Manufacturing organization at Intel Corporation and Cathy Kearney, Vice President of European Operations at Apple are both set to receive a Distinguished Alumnus Award.
Kelleher said she is âencouraged to see a new focus on more girls studying STEM subjects in Ireland as I firmly believe that diversity in the workplace leads to more creative solutions, as well as providing fulfilling careers for those who choose that path.â
In 1993, Macroom-born Kelleher became the first ever female to receive a PhD from the National Microelectronics Research Centre (NMRC), now part of the Tyndall National Institute at UCC.
âHaving graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 1987 and a PhD in 1993, little did I think that I would be back here at UCC in the year that celebrates both the bicentenary of George Boole and the 50th anniversary of Mooreâs Law. Intel can trace the roots of our technology to both of these visionaries and I am proud to carry on the UCC connection in my role as General Manager of Intelâs global semiconductor manufacturing business,â Kelleher said.
âI have very fond memories of my time at UCC and am grateful to the College for providing me with the engineering fundamentals and the semiconductor knowledge which I still draw upon in my work today.â
Kelleher joined Intel in 1996 as a process engineer, going on to manage technology transfers and factory ramp-ups in a variety of positions spanning multiple technologies.
She is currently responsible for Intel's worldwide silicon wafer fabrication facilities. Prior to assuming her current position Kelleher was the leader for Intel's large Fab 11X fabrication facility in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
In that role, she was responsible for all aspects of the operation, including safety, people and operational metrics for high-volume manufacturing of leading edge process technology. Earlier in her Intel career, she led Intel's Fab 12 facility in Chandler, Arizona, as well being the factory manager of Fab 24 in Leixlip.
Cathy Kearney, Vice President of European Operations at Apple, is a graduate of the BComm at UCC. She commented: âI enjoyed every minute of my time in UCC. It opened my eyes to a broader perspective. It gave me a strong foundation for my later career in accountancy and operations.â
For the past 10 years Kearney has overseen the expansion of Appleâs Cork site - Corkâs largest private employer employing almost 5000 people across many differing functions, including Applecare, Applestore, Manufacturing, Finance, Operations and R&D.
Kearney started in Apple on secondment from E&Y when training to be a Chartered Accountant 1988. She then joined Apple in May 1989 starting in Finance. At the time Apple was expanding its printed circuit board operation and Kearney joined as the Fixed Asset Accountant.
She moved through the levels in Finance, becoming Site Controller in 1994 and in 1996 become Operations Controller for Europe. In 1999 she had triplets. A few months after her return to work in 2000 she took over the running of the Applestore Operations team with her Finance role.
In 2004 Kearney was promoted to the position of Senior Director of European Operations, as well as the Cork Site Lead role. In 2012 she was promoted to Vice President of European Operations.
Broadcaster and journalist Matt Cooper, who will receive a Distinguished Alumnus Award, revealed he has already agreed to present Six Nations Rugby coverage on TV3 from 2018 to 2021, a move he describes as âthe longest term planning Iâve ever done.â
A graduate of UCCâs BComm, The Last Word presenter recalled that he âprobably wasnât the most diligent of students at UCC in my early years.â
âI failed accountancy in my second year commerce exams and had to repeat the subject in the autumn. In retrospect, the shock of failing something, which I never had before, was beneficial: I knuckled down and passed in the autumn and went on to make accountancy the major part of my degree.
âI didnât see myself as an accountant, however. I had always wanted to be a journalist since primary school. At the time I didnât think the commerce degree would be of use, but it turned out to be essential to the work I would do subsequently as a full-time business journalist between 1988 and 1996 and as a form of part-time one since, after I branched into other areas of journalism.â
Roy Keane has been Cooperâs favourite interviewee to date. âI conducted a live on-stage interview with him at the Olympia Theatre in June, raising funds for Barretstown, and after two hours of conversation on stage we got a standing ovation from 1,000 people. That was a special night.â
On the advice he would give to young people considering a career in journalism, he said: âIt is not about you, it is about the people and topics you are covering. You have to be genuinely interested in finding out, not telling people what you think about things.â
He is âsurprised, but flattered and very gratefulâ about receiving the award. âIâm just sorry my parents are not alive because they would have loved this. UCC played a major role in making me who I am, even if it was for only four years, so Iâm thankful that the institution thinks that I did things of merit after I left it.â
Professor Piniti Ratananukul, former Secretary General of the Education Council of Thailand will also receive a Distinguished Alumnus Award.
Ratananukul, who completed his PhD at UCC in 1983, commented: âThis award is so meaningful because it comes from my prestigious institution. I am proud to represent UCC in Thailand.â
John MacCarthy, President of UCC Soccer Club since 1999 and Director of John MacCarthy BE & Partners Consulting Engineers, will receive an Alumnus Award for Voluntary Service to UCC for his commitment to enhancing the student experience through sport.
A graduate of UCCâs Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering, MacCarthy has led UCC Soccer Club to numerous victories including the Harding Cup, seven Crowley Cups, seven Collingwood Cups and the Munster Senior League in 2014. A member of the UCC Governing Body from 2007 to 2012, he has volunteered with the Niall Mellon Trust for eight years, building homes and schools in South Africa.
âIâm honoured to receive this award; Iâve contributed to sport at UCC because of the enjoyment I got from it and the input of those who went before me.â

He is âsurprised, but flattered and very gratefulâ about receiving the award. âIâm just sorry my parents are not alive because they would have loved this. UCC played a major role in making me who I am, even if it was for only four years, so Iâm thankful that the institution thinks that I did things of merit after I left it.â
Professor Piniti Ratananukul, former Secretary General of the Education Council of Thailand will also receive a Distinguished Alumnus Award.
Ratananukul, who completed his PhD at UCC in 1983, commented: âThis award is so meaningful because it comes from my prestigious institution. I am proud to represent UCC in Thailand.â
John MacCarthy, President of UCC Soccer Club since 1999 and Director of John MacCarthy BE & Partners Consulting Engineers, will receive an Alumnus Award for Voluntary Service to UCC for his commitment to enhancing the student experience through sport.
A graduate of UCCâs Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering, MacCarthy has led UCC Soccer Club to numerous victories including the Harding Cup, seven Crowley Cups, seven Collingwood Cups and the Munster Senior League in 2014. A member of the UCC Governing Body from 2007 to 2012, he has volunteered with the Niall Mellon Trust for eight years, building homes and schools in South Africa.
âIâm honoured to receive this award; Iâve contributed to sport at UCC because of the enjoyment I got from it and the input of those who went before me.â

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Powerful Irish women in tech to be honoured by UCC
The first Irish woman to be named as Corporate Vice President at Intel and Appleâs Vice President of European Operations are among those to be honoured at UCCâs Alumni Achievement Awards on Friday.
Ann Kelleher, corporate vice president in Intelâs Technology and Manufacturing Group and General Manager of the Semiconductor Manufacturing organization at Intel Corporation and Cathy Kearney, Vice President of European Operations at Apple are both set to receive a Distinguished Alumnus Award.
Kelleher said she is âencouraged to see a new focus on more girls studying STEM subjects in Ireland as I firmly believe that diversity in the workplace leads to more creative solutions, as well as providing fulfilling careers for those who choose that path.â
In 1993, Macroom-born Kelleher became the first ever female to receive a PhD from the National Microelectronics Research Centre (NMRC), now part of the Tyndall National Institute at UCC.
âHaving graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 1987 and a PhD in 1993, little did I think that I would be back here at UCC in the year that celebrates both the bicentenary of George Boole and the 50th anniversary of Mooreâs Law. Intel can trace the roots of our technology to both of these visionaries and I am proud to carry on the UCC connection in my role as General Manager of Intelâs global semiconductor manufacturing business,â Kelleher said.
âI have very fond memories of my time at UCC and am grateful to the College for providing me with the engineering fundamentals and the semiconductor knowledge which I still draw upon in my work today.â
Kelleher joined Intel in 1996 as a process engineer, going on to manage technology transfers and factory ramp-ups in a variety of positions spanning multiple technologies.
She is currently responsible for Intel's worldwide silicon wafer fabrication facilities. Prior to assuming her current position Kelleher was the leader for Intel's large Fab 11X fabrication facility in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
In that role, she was responsible for all aspects of the operation, including safety, people and operational metrics for high-volume manufacturing of leading edge process technology. Earlier in her Intel career, she led Intel's Fab 12 facility in Chandler, Arizona, as well being the factory manager of Fab 24 in Leixlip.
Cathy Kearney, Vice President of European Operations at Apple, is a graduate of the BComm at UCC. She commented: âI enjoyed every minute of my time in UCC. It opened my eyes to a broader perspective. It gave me a strong foundation for my later career in accountancy and operations.â
For the past 10 years Kearney has overseen the expansion of Appleâs Cork site - Corkâs largest private employer employing almost 5000 people across many differing functions, including Applecare, Applestore, Manufacturing, Finance, Operations and R&D.
Kearney started in Apple on secondment from E&Y when training to be a Chartered Accountant 1988. She then joined Apple in May 1989 starting in Finance. At the time Apple was expanding its printed circuit board operation and Kearney joined as the Fixed Asset Accountant.
She moved through the levels in Finance, becoming Site Controller in 1994 and in 1996 become Operations Controller for Europe. In 1999 she had triplets. A few months after her return to work in 2000 she took over the running of the Applestore Operations team with her Finance role.
In 2004 Kearney was promoted to the position of Senior Director of European Operations, as well as the Cork Site Lead role. In 2012 she was promoted to Vice President of European Operations.
Broadcaster and journalist Matt Cooper, who will receive a Distinguished Alumnus Award, revealed he has already agreed to present Six Nations Rugby coverage on TV3 from 2018 to 2021, a move he describes as âthe longest term planning Iâve ever done.â
A graduate of UCCâs BComm, The Last Word presenter recalled that he âprobably wasnât the most diligent of students at UCC in my early years.â
âI failed accountancy in my second year commerce exams and had to repeat the subject in the autumn. In retrospect, the shock of failing something, which I never had before, was beneficial: I knuckled down and passed in the autumn and went on to make accountancy the major part of my degree.
âI didnât see myself as an accountant, however. I had always wanted to be a journalist since primary school. At the time I didnât think the commerce degree would be of use, but it turned out to be essential to the work I would do subsequently as a full-time business journalist between 1988 and 1996 and as a form of part-time one since, after I branched into other areas of journalism.â
Roy Keane has been Cooperâs favourite interviewee to date. âI conducted a live on-stage interview with him at the Olympia Theatre in June, raising funds for Barretstown, and after two hours of conversation on stage we got a standing ovation from 1,000 people. That was a special night.â
On the advice he would give to young people considering a career in journalism, he said: âIt is not about you, it is about the people and topics you are covering. You have to be genuinely interested in finding out, not telling people what you think about things.â
He is âsurprised, but flattered and very gratefulâ about receiving the award. âIâm just sorry my parents are not alive because they would have loved this. UCC played a major role in making me who I am, even if it was for only four years, so Iâm thankful that the institution thinks that I did things of merit after I left it.â
Professor Piniti Ratananukul, former Secretary General of the Education Council of Thailand will also receive a Distinguished Alumnus Award.
Ratananukul, who completed his PhD at UCC in 1983, commented: âThis award is so meaningful because it comes from my prestigious institution. I am proud to represent UCC in Thailand.â
John MacCarthy, President of UCC Soccer Club since 1999 and Director of John MacCarthy BE & Partners Consulting Engineers, will receive an Alumnus Award for Voluntary Service to UCC for his commitment to enhancing the student experience through sport.
A graduate of UCCâs Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering, MacCarthy has led UCC Soccer Club to numerous victories including the Harding Cup, seven Crowley Cups, seven Collingwood Cups and the Munster Senior League in 2014. A member of the UCC Governing Body from 2007 to 2012, he has volunteered with the Niall Mellon Trust for eight years, building homes and schools in South Africa.
âIâm honoured to receive this award; Iâve contributed to sport at UCC because of the enjoyment I got from it and the input of those who went before me.â

iss073e0177064 (6/11/2025) --- Scientists can study protein solutions without interference from container walls and gravity driven forces present on Earth using the space station’s Ring Sheared Drop module. The device pins a drop of liquid between two rings and holds it in place with surface tension. JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut and Expedition 73 Commander Takuya Onishi sets up for Ring Sheared Drop-IBP-2, a study of the behavior of protein fluids in microgravity. The investigation uses the module to test computer models to predict fluid behavior that could lead to improved processes for manufacturing pharmaceuticals, 3D printing, food processing, and microelectronics.
