NASA "holoported" a doctor to the international space station.



Holoportation is a less impressive thing than real teleportation. The idea is to send the 3D holographic model of a person or merchandise long distances. The object will be digitalized to a holographic form. In that process, the system uses a combination of laser scanners and CCD cameras that will render the object's surface. The laser scanners scan the shape of the object. And then the CCD cameras will photograph the entire object. The idea is similar to covering the statue using photographs. 

And then the image will send to the receiver and turn into a hologram. The holoportation is a well-known thing in science fiction. That thing can use to send real-looking people to space stations. But it can also use for making fake targets for snipers in the security and military areas. The interactive holoportation means that the person whose image is sent to the space station sees what is going on by using 3D glasses. 

And of course, virtual headsets are giving the feeling that person is in the ISS. But the ultimate simulation can make by using water tanks. The person whose hologram will send to space can hover in the water tank that is used in the zero-gravitational simulation. 

Things like robot surgeons can operate inside the hologram. That means the outside observer can see the human-looking surgeon. But in that place is a robot. The hologram can use in medical and technical work. That means the person can first move the hologram hand. And if the thing goes as it should. The real manipulator can move and make the action. 

The holoportation can also use to send the machine parts to space stations. The scanned 3D images can send to the 3D printers that can make very high-qualified parts in a vacuum. The quality problem with machine parts that are made by using 3D printers is the result of the air bubbles that can affect the process. If the air is removed there are no air bubbles and that thing makes the machine part tight and strong.

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
