The next generation airships can be used in many missions, and the most fascinating of them is to investigate the planet Venus and also gas planets like Jupiter and other gas planets can be surveyed from airships. The modern airships are made by using mylar material, and they are capable to fly extreme high altitude. Mylar is so tight and hard material, that even the sports stadion size gas bell can get to the pocket if that would be made of this plastic, what was used in the ECHO-communication satellites, what were actually balloons, which were blown for their shapes in the orbital trajectory, and they were 41 meters diameter balloon satellites.

Some persons thought that those satellites can be used as the balloons, by filling them with hydrogen or helium and send the balloon to the trip around the world like in some books of Jules Verne. That would need of course space capsule-type crew room because the altitude of the flying would be very high. But in the outer atmosphere, the winds are stable and they could make that trip possible. And the same technology can be used in other planet's atmospheres.

Use of this material at the balloon type ECHO-satellites means that those airships can fly at the outer layers of the atmosphere, and fly even to space if they are equipped with right propulsion systems like ion- or magneto-dynamic drives. The usage scale of those things is very large. Airships can support the communication, and at the same times, those systems can be used to patrol the large areas. The big size airships can also be used as the flying surgery rooms, and also they can be used in the forest working sites because they can be used for the cranes, but also airships can carry machines and other parts in the middle of the jungle.

Airships can also patrol on the sea areas very long time, and locate the submarines with their infra-red and other sensor systems, and they can use solar panels for creating electric power. But in the polar areas, they might use capillary turbogenerators for increasing the flight time and give power to their batteries. The problem of those airships is that the hydrogen would be exploded if there is any oxygen in the hydrogen tank. The filling of the airships starts that the gas-bell would put in the tank, and all air would be removed there. Then the tank is filled with pure hydrogen, and because there is no oxygen, the system would not be exploded easily. Even if those airships fly in very high altitude, they might be also very small, and those rugby-ball size airships can collect data from high atmosphere.

They can also be used for normal and electronic surveillance missions, where the opponent's new airplanes would be surveillance during test flights. That means the miniature airship would be stationed near the opponent's main test flight base. And then it can photograph the aircraft during tests. the opponent would have problems to locate those small size robot airships from the altitudes of 30 kilometers. Those airships might have also laser microphones, that they can eavesdrop on the opponent's talkings.

They can also carry small size helicopters, what can be dropped to that area, and if we would think that thing as the "Matushka" type vehicle, that small helicopter can carry the nano bug, what can collect the information inside the opponent's buildings. And those nano bugs can also be used for assassination missions if the situation would change. Those nano bugs can inject deadly chemicals in the bodies of targeted persons, and they can also deliver anti-oil and sulfur-eating microbes to oil tanks and ammunition warehouses. Those microbes are making diesel-oil the lister, and the sulfur at the gunpowder can be removed by the microbes, what is normally used in the oil and other chemical accidents.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(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.

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
