Sentinel-6 mission is giving the most accurate data of sea level.

 Sentinel-6 mission is giving the most accurate data of sea level.




Sentinel-6 is a radar satellite which mission is to search the sea level. The mountains which are under the sea are causing small hills on the water. The satellite uses a synthetic aperture system that makes it a very flexible tool. 

And that thing uncovers the undersea mountains and valleys. The VLF and ELF radars can also see things under the sea level. And that kind of system can give the information of the bottoms of the ocean. 

The multiband radars can give information from the many layers of the ocean. And that system can detect how things like underwater volcanos and earthquakes are releasing the gas from sediments. And how that gas affects the oceans. 

The Lidar or laser radar can give very high accurate data of the oceans and things like chemicals in the water. The laser rays can vapor water. And spectrometers can detect what kind of pollution is involved in water. 

Those satellites can observe dense water. Which uncovers the underwater pressure waves. The geostationary radar satellites could give early warning of the forming tsunami waves before they reach the coastline. The multisensor satellites can also search for things like changes in temperature of the water and that uncovers the undersea volcano eruptions. 

But the thing is the satellites can observe very large areas of the ocean. That makes them effective systems for surveillance operations in civil and military sectors. 

The multimission systems allow connecting information from multiple sources. And that thing allows making more accurate tsunami warnings. The undersea earthquakes are causing changes in the behavior of the surface of the water.

But also things like gas and other chemicals can release from the bottom of the sea. While the sediments are shaking. And those things can also give warning of the tsunamis. By connecting the data of the multiple sensors makes it possible to combine the data. And compare the values that radars and chemical sensors are given for things that happen before tsunamis.

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
