Kinetic energy bombardment is the new threat in the military world

X-37B is a small size space-shuttle, what is a very mysterious creature in the skies. The shuttle itself offers a platform for modular systems, and one of the most feared military solutions is the so-called kinetic energy missiles. Those missiles can installed in X-37B very easily, and the shuttles manipulator hand can be used to operate that thing. The system could be actually the rocket drum, what is normally installed to helicopter or aircraft, and those rockets can equip with concrete profiles, what would keep them shapes in extreme heat, what causes the rocket hits the atmosphere, and the resistance of the atmosphere would heat that projectile in very high temperature. 


This kind of solutions bases everyday technology, what would put in the new environment. The kinetic-energy bomber should not actually be a big size or complicated system. And sometimes "Mercury" capsule is actually the early version of the kinetic energy bomber. That system could be simple like the flying rocket mortar, what would shoot the rockets very sharply in some targets. In the Soviet "Almaz" program was planned to install 20-30 mm. aircraft cannons in the spacecraft. That ammunition would equip with the ceramic nucleus. And that would allow making even the river on the ground. 


There have been stories of the United States giant kinetic energy bombardment system, what was called "Project Thor". Many times there were claiming, that "Thor" was railgun or electromagnetic gun, what is installed in some satellite.  But in the real life that electromagnetic system would not be necessary, and many times I have thought that this system would be the giant airgun. Those pressure base space-cannons are actually similar that the cannons, what is used in the normal combat situations, and they can be very effective. 


The ammunition, what would be metal tungsten, will shoot to target by pressure, what is made by burning hydrogen and oxygen in the combustion chamber, and if the same force would be targeted to opposite direction, would that keep the satellite in the direct position. Sometimes the weapon like "Thor" is suitable for making channels in the dry areas, and that's why it should be classified as the mining equipment. The United Nations have prohibited those weapons, but the nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction are also prohibited. The contracts prohibit the MIRV or multi-warhead missiles. And any nuclear state is going to limit their arsenals, and the development of the new nuclear missiles is going on.

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
