Airships and life on Venus.


HAVOC (High Altitude Venus Operational Concept) the concept for the Venus research can be more than just a research program. It can be HAA (High Altitude Airship) that can make many missions also in Earth's atmosphere. 

One of the purposes of high-flying airships can use to launch satellites into space. In some other visions, the high-flying airships can also launch ASAT weapons.  The airships can also use to research other planets. And maybe those airships can travel in the Jupiter and Saturn atmosphere where probes transport them. 

The satellite and carrier rocket can connect with solar-power airships. Then those airships will raise to the edge of the space.The costs of that kind of system are very low. And electric-engine using airships can rise higher than aircraft. The high-flying airship can collect things like antimatter from the edge of space. 







There is a vision. That researcher will build the first base on Venus on some of those mountain areas. The crew can isolate oxygen from the air. And basically, those researchers and colonists can live in the house. That is quite similar to regular houses. The windows and ventilations must equip with a carbon filter. There is the possibility. That there is a thermos-solution in the walls of that space station. 

Astronauts would use similar "silver suits" that steel workers use when they go near a very hot surface. Another possibility that researchers can use in the airships. The HAVOC (High Altitude Venus Operational Concept)program means that automatic or manned airships can act as laboratories and platforms where researchers can analyze samples from that planet. The HAVOC mission is one of the most interesting research in history. 

The high-flying airships with solar panels or nuclear reactors can operate in another planet's atmosphere. Or the HAVOC system can also use the simple capillary tube that it drops into the atmosphere. Rising gas would rotate turbine wings. One of the most interesting things is that HAVOC-type systems can use in the Earth's atmosphere. 

Those quite large airships can carry hospitals. They can monitor areas by using lidars, IR, and visual cameras. The high-flying airships can also search for cosmic radiation. And they can act as high-flying radar stations. Or they can improve communication in remote areas. There is the possibility that the military airships can also carry weapons that can use against hypersonic weapons. Those weapons could be high-power lasers or they can be some other systems that can damage the shell of a hypersonic system. 



Phosphine is found in Venus' atmosphere again. 

Researchers found phosphine in Venus' atmosphere again. That thing could tell about some very primitive lifeforms on that planet's atmosphere. The surface of that planet is very hot. That makes it impossible that researchers can find the lifeforms on the surface. Under the toxic clouds. The sulfur acid along with over 400 degrees Celsius makes the lifeforms in the form as we know it impossible. 

But many mountains rise above the cloud layer. Three large land masses on planet Venus are rising above cloud layers. Those land masses are Aphrodite Terra, Lada Terra, and Ishtar Terra. The Lada Terra and Ishtar Terra are near the poles of Venus. And the Aphrodite Terra is near the equator. That means those land masses are not as hot as the common surface of that planet.



"Color-coded elevation map, showing the elevated "continents" in yellow: Aphrodite Terra is just below the equator to the right. Pioneer Venus Orbiter collected these data with radar". (Wikipedia, Aphrodite Terra)




 Ishtar Terra a large mountain area looks like Himalaya. (Wikipedia, Ishtar Terra)

In some models, the lifeforms on those kinds of extremely hot planets are limited only in highlands like mountain areas. Or the lifeform could be like a water drop that surrounds the protein fibers. The DNA or RNA would control those living droplets. So there is a change that there is a lifeform on Venus. But before we can find the real evidence. 

There must be some kind of samples from those land masses and clouds. Even if there is some kind of lifeforms there is a possibility that those lifeforms are from Earth. If probes that send to Venus. Are not properly sterilized. There is the possibility that some primitive organisms can travel between those planets.

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
