Space technology and its relationship with military power are very well known connection. Sometimes there have been military projects, what has very well known code names. Military uses the same vehicles with civilians, and the fact is that most of the space pilots or astronauts have been in the military service when they are made that mission. Sometimes there are many inventions, what can be used in the multipurpose role in both areas. The most innovative things, what people have ever created for science and technology is the space-suit, what is actually a man-shaped spacecraft. The official name of the space suit is actually EVA (Enhanced Vehicle Agent). That suit is equipped with micrometeor and anti-radiation protection.

That allows to make very flexible protective layers, what can be rolled, and actually, the only thing, what limits the usage of those suits on earth is their weight. That kind of protective systems can be used against weapons of mass destruction, and they can be easy to take in use, and when the operation is over, they can be removed from area easily.  Sometimes there have been plans to put man-shaped robots inside those spacesuits, and that kind of equipment would be useful in the space repairing missions.

 The remote-controlled robots can spend an extremely long time in space, and they don't need any spacecraft. That's why those robots can operate in space independently, and they can send to space by using small-scale rockets like Pegasus. The space suit protects the metal body against micro-meteors. Those robots can be used to repair or hijack satellites in the orbital trajectory. In the last case, the robot would take the wire to the satellite and it would be pulled to the returning capsule, what is actually an "lying garbage can", what can land to the ground.

But there have been plans to equip the space suits with weapons. In many pictures, there has been the camera on the shoulder or astronaut during the spacewalk, and sometimes there have been discussions to equip that thing with the MAC-10 type sub-machine gun or microwave weapon, what allows to use that suit as the weapon. Those very deadly instruments, what is installed on the spacesuits are actually known as the Enhanced Vehicle Application or EVA, what is the same thing, what is used with the normal space suit.

Sometimes there have been plans to equip military personnel with such type of weapons like small size pistols, what are installed in the helmets. Those weapons would be Derringers, what can be launched by blowing the balloon, what is pulled through the trigger protection, and that can be the very effective thing in the short distance combat. But also the high-tech versions have been tested, and one of them is small-size sub-machine gun, what is aimed with helmet pointing system, and launched with a gesture, what is given by the data gloves.

That equipment can be used inside normal gloves. And they can also use to use many more remote things, like small size robots, what are slipping in some heavily protected or polluted area. Those lego-man sized systems can fly in the target, and use similar tools with normal people. The ergonomy makes easy to control those systems and those small helpers can collect data, take samples or remove parts from microchips. So those "ant men" are very flexible tools they can fly to the target, and operate there as long as batteries have voltage. They can be controlled with virtual sets, what makes possible to use them in the field conditions. Those robots would operate with VR-glasses, where they would send the image from their CCD-cameras and the microphones and piezo-crystals send the sensation to the operator, and that person might use virtual joysticks and other things like that by using data gloves.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

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
