Chinese space station generates 100% of its oxygen at orbital trajectory.

Chinese space station uses very advanced technology in its life support. The life-support system generates 100 % of the needed oxygen and 95 % of the water recycled in that station. This kind of experiment with a closed carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle. Along with an almost closed water cycle is impressive. 

Using that new life-support system, China can decrease the needed cargo payload to that space station every year by six tons. And that thing decreases the costs of that space station. But there is another thing that makes this kind of technology interesting. Resource recycling systems must use in the Mars flights.

The technology tested in the Chinese Tiangong-station can use in Mars flights and Moon and Mars stations. 


Long-term spaceflight to the red planet requires systems that can recycle at least oxygen and water. The same systems, that are in use in the Chinese Tiangong-station can use on Moon and other more futuristic space stations. The Moon station can use to test technology that will use in space flights to other planets like Mars and the asteroid belt. 

The problem is that the Moon requires a magnetic field that protects the space stations. Moon would also be an excellent place for hunting the Helium 3 from the Moon's rocks. That moon station will separate Helium on Moon and then send it to Earth by using the magnetic railgun. The fact is that the Moon itself must not be mine. 


In some visions, the Moon's nucleus will put a generator that creates an artificial magnetic field around the Moon. 


Because if the moon turns too light. That affects tidal water on Earth. Moon stations may use to generate antimatter. Antimatter can be created in tanks covered by using a thin gold layer. When electrons hit the gold layer, that gold layer turns them into anti-electrons. And the magnetic field will keep those antimatter particles away from the walls of that tank. So if there is an artificial magnetic field the colonists must just open that magnetic field so that solar wind will affect the surface of the moon. 

In some futuristic models, the Moon's nucleus will put the generator that is rotating by using electric engines. Those electric engines will get their energy from solar panels. And that generator will create the artificial magnetic field for the moon. The purpose of that magnetic field is to push solar wind out from the Moon's surface. That kind of system can protect crews from cosmic radiation.

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
