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.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(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.

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
