Private space companies also make moon landers.

Private Peregrine moon lander stacked in ULA (United Launch Alliance) Vulcan rocket. And it's ready for lift-off on January 8.

Peregrine moon-lander looks like any other moon lander. The difference is that Peregrine is a private project. That is a good example of flexible innovations. A private corporation makes the moon-lander. That can take samples from the Moon's surface. Private space corporations are rising actors in space research in technical and scientific ways.

Private corporations offer flexible platforms that can operate with things like space stations and other similar things. Private space industries are not only communication satellites. The private space industry also wants to benefit from low- and zero-gravity conditions for laboratories.

And remote-controlled miniature shuttles can also operate as manufacturing platforms for complicated molecules and nanomechanics. This is one of the reasons why civilians are also interested in Scramjet engines and hypersonic flight.

The air-breathing scramjets offer the possibility to make a cheap and effective launch platform for miniature shuttles that can used as remote-controlled laboratories. When those systems finish their operations. They can return the merchandise to the ground. That is one reason why those miniature robot shuttles are under development.

Another system that travels to the Moon is the Japanese miniature lander. The Japanese "ispace" corporation introduces its miniature moon-lander along with miniature rovers. The miniature space systems allow to creation of new models for moon and planetary missions.

A large number of AI-controlled miniature landers and drone swarms can used as the non-centralized solution for space missions. The system can be based on miniature actors. They have different types of sensor packs. Those systems can connect their abilities in their entirety. And that thing is the base of drone swarms.

A large number of simple and cheap systems can form a drone swarm that acts like one complicated system. The difference between those drone swarms and one complicated system is that. Destruction of one drone doesn't destroy the entire swarm.

Another remarkable thing is that miniaturized technology makes it possible also small robots can carry multiple sensors and effective computers. That allows them to run complicated AI algorithms. That allows them to make versatile operations.

That base is in non-centralized calculations and the ability to connect their data into one entirety. Traditional space systems are large and complicated systems. The smaller but larger group of different probes makes it possible that even if one participant's mission fails. The mission can continue. Also, a swarm of landers or drones can cover a larger area. Then one single lander. In some visions, similar helicopter technology that operates on Mars can be used with those landers.

Those systems can equipped with Kamov-type opposite rotating rotors, and they can carry the drone that is equipped with seismic sensors and sample-taking systems. Things like miniature magnetometers and laser spectrometers make those systems flexible and versatile tools.

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
