The solar sail technology is multi-use.




The same technology is used to make kilometer-size solar sail can use also for making large-size solar panels that can send to the orbiter. And similar mylar layers can use to make large-size radar and electronic surveillance antennas that are orbiting the earth. 

And the large-size mylar structures can also use for making the large radio telescopes that can send away from Kuiper Belt. Electricity to those systems can deliver by using lasers. And the core of those large sails can cover by using silicon atoms. 

Researchers have created an idea to send large solar sails to Alpha Centauri by using powerful laser systems. In that project, the idea is to use extremely powerful lasers for accelerating the solar sail to journey to the Alpha Centauri system. 

The same technology is used to make kilometer-size solar sail can use also for making large-size solar panels that can send to the orbiter. And similar mylar layers can use to make large-size radar and electronic surveillance antennas that are orbiting the earth. 

The light- or solar sail technology can take probes to Mars and farther at a cheap price. The solar sail is a large sail that is made by using mylar or some other strong material. The idea of a solar sail is that the solar wind is blowing that thing away from the sun. And in some visions, solar sails would give more energy from lasers that are accelerating that thing away from the solar system. The idea is that the solar sail can use the large mylar sail structure as a communication antenna. 

And if a large-size mylar layer is covered with silicon atoms. That system can use to make large-scale solar panels. And maybe the power satellites are true sooner than we think. 

The thrust of solar sail can increase by covering the mylar layer with a thin layer of iced gas. When lasers hit that gas it vaporizes and then it increases its thrust. The solar sail is an interesting system because the same concepts can use for sending large-size structures to space. 

The same technology is used in solar sails. Can use in large-scale radio telescopes and radar antennas. Those large-size antennas can monitor astronomical radio objects. Or they can use in very high powerful and accurate radars and signal intelligence systems. 

An extremely thin mylar layer can cover by a one- or two atoms-thin metal layer. And that system makes this type of structure suitable to use in large orbiting radars and electronic surveillance systems.

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
