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.
