The use of STEALTH-technology in satellites and space stations is easier than in the airplanes. In the outer space.nothing makes limits for the form of the spacecraft. So the shape, what is used in the space satellites might be free, and one shape for STEALTH-satellites might be like the great immune shell, with the lots of pikes on its core. But when we are using nanotechnology that might revolutionize the technology of the satellites. That technology allows to create a large number of very small satellites, what can cover entire Earth.


But if we will go to more radical designs, we might think, that the satellite of tomorrow is very small. Satellites small size allow to shoot them to the orbital trajectory with small rockets, and they might have the very strong maneuverable capacity. Those clouds of nanotechnological satellites might deny other nations to use trajectories, where those extremely small size satellites are launched. Artificial clouds can use large-scale surveillance operations, but they can also use as an attack against the ICBM-missiles and other satellites.


A couple of millimeter size satellites might be the key element for recon satellites of tomorrow. Those satellites make huge cloud, which every part works together like one giant satellite. And those particles of this cloud are connected together with WLAN because that allows those ping pong ball or even smaller sized satellites operate in synchronization. That cloud is very different than the satellites that are used today.


The very small size satellites are not probably effective when they are working alone, but when thousands or millions of those satellites work together, will the result very effective. And if that group of the satellites losses one particle, the other can replace it immediately.Loss of one particle will not make the cloud effectiveness to do its mission. Those satellite clouds are immune to the kinetic energy ASAT-weapons. And the cloud could use one particle of itself with ASAT-missions. They just drive one nano-scale satellite against the target.


Nanotechnological satellites might be like in science fiction movies, they might actually so small that even ball of the tack might be gigantic on the side of those machines. They might equip with small WARP-drive, and the electricity will pump to those systems by satellites, what uses extremely powerful radio waves.


And that will give those tiny machines or artificial particles capacities to land in the atmosphere, float or move in the atmosphere or orbital trajectory where the operators want and make surveillance missions and also make some airspaces denied for airplanes.They might also fly inside the houses and rooms, and those particles can make the storm, what travels over the earth with hypersonic speed. They can exterminate all army by kinetic energy.  Also, those nanosatellite clouds might close the way of attacking ICBM-missiles. But they can also use for large-scale ECM-operations, to disturb the data communication.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
