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.

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
