Spin launchers and rail guns can be next-generation launching systems for satellites. But these systems can also use as weapons.

The spin launch is the kinetic launching system that can shoot a 200-kilogram satellite to a suborbital trajectory. The spin launch is a sling that shoots a satellite to a high altitude without gunpowder or fuel. And that system can make a revolution in satellite launching. The spin-launching system can also offer cheap and useful technology to shoot minerals from the moon and asteroid belt. The diameter of the spin launcher is about 33 m. But. that is a 1/3 scale model of the full-scale system that size is about 100m.

The spin launching system can also use to send small cargo capsules between the moon and the Earth orbiter. The thing is that spin launch systems can make the super cannon that shoots GPS-guided grenades to the targets at extremely long distances. That kind of system can use to replace regular cannons. And there is a possibility that this kind of system will connect with electromagnetic rail guns.

That thing can make very powerful launching systems possible that can shoot small satellites and ammunition in very long range.

Ships also can operate spin launchers. And in some models, a spin launcher would be the sling. That installed on some high-flying airships. The sling can be the wire that spins a satellite or some other object that sends it to trajectory.

If somebody wants to use that system as a weapon that kind of system might not need the same power as satellite launchers. But the system can install on ships. And full-scale spin launchers can shoot things like GPS-guided grenades and SDB (Small-Diameter Bombs) to intercontinental range.

The Chinese claim that their electromagnetic rail guns can send ammunition to a trajectory with a speed of Mach 27. That means those railguns or "monster versions of GAU-8 "Avengers". The famous cannons of the Fairchild Republic A-10 "Thunderbolt II". Those railguns can destroy incoming missiles, aircraft ground bunkers, and even satellites.

At least if those systems are installed in killer satellites. But the Mach 27 capable railgun can install on the high mountains, and there those systems can be dangerous for satellites. That kind of system can send ammunition very high. Even if it's at sea level.

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.

"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
