Fusion startup plans to clean orbital trajectories using laser rays.



The idea of lasers use as satellite killers is not new. The problem is how to create high-power lasers that can operate at the orbital trajectory. Another problem is how to remove debris from the orbiter. The satellite killers are based on the new ideas to remove space junk from orbiters. 

The same systems that are used to remove space junk can be used in wartime to push enemy satellites to the ocean. The other version is to use EMP impulses to shut down enemy satellites. This system is required for removing EMP or FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) weapons from the orbiter. Also, it can destroy low-flying recon satellites pushing them into the atmosphere. There is suspicion that FOBS is a so-called sleeping satellite, equipped with a nuclear warhead. 



In some other models, satellites can use tiny soft ammunition that can push the targeted satellites to the atmosphere without destroying them. In some other versions robot connects small balloons to satellites, and then the laser detonates those balloons to push the satellite out from its trajectory. There could be some marking system in a satellite. That tells if there is a malfunction. And it must removed from space. 


There are plans for the Flying recycle bin or junk collect spacecraft can take those non-operational satellites out of the orbiter. The spacecraft just pulls the targeted satellite in it. And then it returns to the ground. This helps to keep classified military satellites secretive. And the crew can analyze if there are attempts to affect that satellite. 


In the future, there can be service robots at orbiters whose mission is to connect small rockets to satellites that are not operational anymore. Then those small rockets can push satellites to the Pacific Ocean. 

In some visions, the satellite operators must leave a small fuel dose to the satellite, so that they can push them into the atmosphere. Another vision is that satellites can be equipped with heat shields and satellites, and they would return to the ground using parachutes. That allows us to use those systems to analyze the cosmic radiation effect on microchips. And then a normal recycling center can recycle those satellites. 

The idea of this kind of thing is not to destroy satellites. Or this kind of lasers will not put them into pieces. The idea is that a laser system can push a satellite or another space junk into the atmosphere. The high-accurate laser ray can hit a hole in the satellite's fuel tank. 

And leaking fuel pushes satellites into the atmosphere. The laser that makes this operation can be ground-based. The mirror that is above the orbital trajectory can aim the ground-based laser at the target, and then reflect laser ray into the targeted satellite.

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
