Lasers and laser-accelerated plasma can make spacecraft travel to the Moon, and even outside our solar system.



"Graphic depiction of Pellet-Beam Propulsion for Breakthrough Space Exploration. (Artur Davoyan/University of California)" (Shooting Tiny, High Speed Bullets at a Spacecraft Could Speed Up Travel to The Stars)

Nasa plans to use the laser beam to transport spacecraft to the orbital trajectory and even to the Moon. Using a laser as a booster can make a cheap way to transport spacecraft from the Earth to the moon station and back.  Maybe, someday in the future, this system transports the spacecraft to other solar systems.

The idea is that the laser beam creates the plasma or heat air under the craft. When the craft rises to the orbiter. A laser that orbits Earth will start to push the spacecraft to the Moon. Then, the spacecraft can land by using regular rocket engines. 


Another laser system that shoots the spacecraft back to Earth can locate on Moon. 


The laser beam can vaporize hydrogen or water that is in the rocket's fuel tank and make it travel to Earth. In some simplified models the parabolic mirrors that are vaporizing propellant can use to send spacecraft back to Earth from the Moon. 



But the laser-accelerated ion bullets can use to send spacecraft even out from the solar system. The idea is that the high-power laser ray can push ions and electrons in one direction. The idea is that accelerator sends a cloud of electrons and protons to the spacecraft. The electrons and protons have different polarities. And that thing keeps the high-speed plasma bullet in form. 

The plasma bullets can also use to turn the incoming asteroid out from the Earth. NASA plans to use the 10 MW spaceborne lasers in that system.  There is the possibility that this kind of laser-accelerated ion system can use antimatter plasma. The idea is that the antiprotons- and positrons are created by using a thin gold layer or magnetic field that turns their spin to the opposite. Then those antimatter particles can shoot against incoming asteroids. 

And the same systems that are pushing spacecraft to the moon and other places in the solar system can use to turn asteroids. The same system can also use to destroy satellites and ballistic missiles. But in that case, the antimatter is a little bit too powerful a tool.

NASA is launching DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) to space



The DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) vehicle's computer is equipped with multipurpose artificial intelligence that allows it to navigate to an asteroid. Then that probe shoots the asteroid by using kinetic energy arrows that can turn the asteroid out of its course. The thing in this kind of operation is to keep the asteroid in one piece. The DART is using the impact technique where the satellite is impacting the asteroid. Pushing it away from the trajectory. 

The idea is that DART itself will push the asteroid to another trajectory. But maybe the future versions of that kind of system are the darts. Small sub-probes that are impacting asteroid and then push it. When we are thinking about kinetic energy vehicles. Also, so-called dummy rockets can use for pushing asteroids away from their course. The rockets might equip with an impact cushion or gel head that makes the impact softer. At first, the manipulator's arm will throw the rocket into an asteroid. Then they would touch the surface of the asteroid. And that thing activates the rocket engines. 




There is there might be also the possibility to use soft-head rockets. Those are not penetrating the asteroids. If we think of the possibility that the system is used for asteroid mining. 

The penetration ammunition would be more useful if the purpose of the system is to cut the asteroid in pieces. The idea is that the penetrating ammunition would start to resonate in the asteroid. And that will break the asteroid to pieces. And those pieces can pull near Earth where they can drop to the ground by using return capsules. 

The small-size intelligent rockets can also use in ASAT or killer satellites. The idea of this kind of killer satellite is that it would shoot the lower orbiter satellites with its darts. And then it would push those satellites back to the atmosphere without breaking their core. The internal artificial intelligence makes it possible that the satellite can search the target satellites without communication between it and ground stations. So the satellite can be silent when it approaches its target and shoots the impact vehicle to it. 

When we are thinking about the kinetic energy systems that are just pushing asteroids away from the trajectory those systems might be useful for the killer satellites. If the satellite shoots the target by using the gel or some other impact cushion that keeps the target in one piece. 

But it makes it fall to the ocean. Keeping the target satellites in one piece is a very good idea because that keeps the orbiter clean from the debris. The killer satellites are suitable systems for destroying enemy communication and recon satellites. Also, things like orbiter lasers can turn away from their course by using the pushing impact ammunition. The rocket will simply push the laser weapon to the atmosphere.

The gravity energy and its use in power supply

Picture I

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/p/the-gravity-energy-and-its-use-in-power.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

We are using gravity energy currently in the form of water power, but when we are thinking about the use of the pure gravitation as an energy supply, there are three possibilities to make that thing real. They might look simple, but there are many technical problems with their practical solutions.


The motive for this kind of operation would be, that the And some of those solutions are extreme unpractical, and they would ever take in use. Those things need so large-scale technology or traveling to other planets, that they are not nowadays technology at all, but in theory, the gravitation engines can give the civilization opportunity to continue it live without their sun after it has been detonated as the supernova.


So this writing is purely hypothetical and its purpose is to think about the technology, what would be used in that kind of power supply. One motive for large-scale projects would be that the central star of the solar system would start to become unstable. And this would make the civilization to build the gravity power. And here are those three ways to use the power of gravitation. Here I'm not going to write about water power, because this writing is meant for hypothetical thinking about the gravity energy.

1. Tunnel thru the planet

There is a possibility to drill the tunnel thru some planet, what have not the liquid nucleus. In that theoretical operation would be used the laser-drill, what allows to make the extremely deep hole.   If the planet would have solid lithosphere and it would have the possibility to drill the tunnel thru the planet, and then install the generator in that structure. The drill would look like the cylinder, and it could land to the surface of that planet, and then it must just begin to use its laser.


After that in this tunnel would be dropped to the particle or particles, what would rotate the juniper and generator. This particle would travel inside this tunnel like Jojo, and it can rotate the generator by using the wire or another way would drop those particles on layers, what would cause the rotating of the generator. This might seem very simple, but there are many practical problems to make that kind of system.

2. Using the heat of dropping particles as an energy

The second one is so unpractical way to use gravity power, that it would be ever take in the real use. The technology is that thru the atmosphere would be dropped the particles, what would be getting heat in the process. Then those particles would drive to the boiler, what creates steam, that would conduct to the turbines.


This way to make gravity power system is very unpractical, and the power, that it can be made is so expensive, that even in theory it would not be used even in small-scale systems. Here we are seen, how in theory we can make something, what would work, but what is so unpractical, that it will make us laugh. There is a version of this kind of system, what would actually be used in some drones.


Those drones would be dropped into the atmosphere of some planet and the propels would start to create the electricity of the drones electric motors. The system would be used to explore the atmospheres of other planets like gas giants and Venus. Drones would not be larger than some toys, but their mission will be collecting the information from the planet's atmosphere. And they might also be used for the reconnaissance missions, where the satellite drops them to hurricanes or near military bases if their mission would be military intelligence.

3. Use the radiation, what is forming near Black Holes as an energy supply

The most fascinating way to use gravity energy will be using the transfer disc of the black holes as the energy supply. Those areas around the supermassive particles in the universe are the brightest thing, what astronomers have seen. And the energy would be collected with normal solar panels. But the problem is, that we have no black holes in our own solar system, and traveling to them is taking an extremely long time. That makes this version of the gravity power also theoretical.


But we could use gravity power if we could make the artificial black hole. The hypothetical gravity power plant would be the system, where the artificial black hole would be set in the ball-shaped chamber. This chamber could be covered with the silicon layer, what gives electricity, and sometimes the gas would be conducted in this chamber. Then it would send the radiation to the system. But if the ball would be damaged, and the black hole will be released to the atmosphere, could that destroy the entire planet, and that's the reason this system would not be tested in the atmosphere of Earth.


There is the possibility, that in someday we could make the electromagnetic black hole, what can be transferred in the spacecraft. The black hole can be forming, that way, there could be accelerators in the spacecraft, and then the support system will start to pump energy to that system by touching it with tongs, what transfers the energy to that hypothetical spacecraft. And then the spacecraft would use this thing as the energy supply. When we are discussing the UFO:s we can think that this kind of energy will be used in some kind of spacecraft. The size of the spacecraft would not be necessary big, and the size of the black hole would be smaller than golf-ball. But if that small black hole will release to the atmosphere, will the results be devastating. And this will make the hypothetical unknown spacecraft dangerous.

Clementine lunar probe and the strange backgrounds of that spacecraft

Clementine spacecraft
(Picture I)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

In 1994 United States launched the new space probe to the Lunar Orbiter, and that probe got the name "Clementine". It was the first lunar mission of NASA after Apollo, and there were used many new kinds of sensors like CCD-cameras and another kind of systems, like radar, what mission was to look for the water on the moon. The clementine had the strange background because it was made by NASA and  BMDO (Ballistic Missile Defense Organization). 


The BMDO existence in this project has caused many rumors, that the real purpose of the "Clementine" mission was to look for Russian missiles or some other installations from the surface of the Moon. And the top of those rumors was of course, that the mission was made for locating the alien base from the Moon, and then the base could be intercepted by missiles, but this was of course only one hypothesis. 


There were many things, what was kept secret in the "Clementine" mission, and one of them was the reason, why BMDO took part in this project? Was there somebody, who believed, that there were sent secret nuclear weapons to the Moon by the Soviet Union? The nuclear systems could have the similar shape with Luna 16 probes, but I certainly hope, that those special nuclear missiles are only fiction. The Moon would be the perfect place for remote-controlled nuclear missiles, that can launch to the Earth and their targets by using remote control. The guidance of those weapons would be done with television and joystick. Or the warhead can use the image-identification system, what is brand new guidance method because it needs a quite much computer power. 


The reason, why BMDO was involved in this project is the mystery because that organization mission is to plane the ballistic missile defense tools like ABM-missiles and directed energy systems against ICBM. Above the text is a picture of "Clementine", and that spacecraft claimed to be different, and the real "Clementine" is mentioned be the football-shaped spacecraft, what would be covered the solar panels and light cells. The mission of those light cells would be that they can make 360 degrees image for the probe, what can use as the kinetic energy ammunition. 


Why I expect that is the vegetable "Clementine" is the ball-shaped thing and the spacecraft should have some connection with their names. And maybe the real "Clementine" was the ball, what mission was to demonstrate the way to make similar visibility as the bugs have. Another thing, what might be demonstrated could be, that could the CCD-chips replace the normal silicon panels, what makes the spacecraft more compact than using traditional structure. If the solar panels could also work as the cameras, they could warn the space probe incoming micro-meteorites.

The imagination is always freedom for thinking, so don't be so serious about those things.


The asteroid from another star system
(ESA-picture)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The asteroid from another solar system is only an asteroid, what is lucky for us. This kind of pieces will always stimulate mankind's imagination and always will become some space theorist, who will say that this kind of asteroid is actually an aliens space probe, what was so-called "sleeper". In the intelligence world, the term "sleeper" means that the space probe or intelligence craft will travel across the target with their active electronic communication system shut-down. The thinking is a freedom, and people have the freedom to think anything, what they want. So don't be so serious, when you read this kind of texts. They are mentioned for philosophical thinking, not for the scientific fact.


And until the probe has traveled the necessary distance of the target, it will send the data to the makers of that probe with the laser-communication system. This means that the probe is silent, until it takes the coded message, that the central computer must begin the transmission. In this scenario, the probe is meant for SETI-missions, and its mission is not to disturb the target planet.


So this kind of thoughts will be in my mind, and there is freedom of thinking. But with this kind of asteroids is really important, that those pieces can be investigated in the very sharp way because they might give the tips, where we can probably find extraterrestrial life form. If those on asteroids surface will have some chemical elements, there is a possibility to find some kind of life form from the star, where that asteroid is coming from.


The trick is that other chemical relativity will compile with the stars, and this analyses bases that every star has a dust cloud around them, and the dust has the unique chemical fingerprint. The plasma spectrometer can uncover those chemicals, and then the star, where that asteroid is coming from can be found. But in real life, there are billions of stars in the universe, and that's why the looking for the origin of that piece can take a very long time.


But if there are a very heavy chemical elements inside that asteroid, means that the piece is coming from the space near nova or supernova, and when the star has been exploded, that asteroid what might be the piece of a destroyed planet can fly thru space. In this kind of question, we might say that "don't be so serious". There is a room for different opinions than the "official opinion" is. And there is millions and millions of particles in the universe, and somebody might claim, that the astronomers have looked the wrong piece.

Technology what makes external laser excellent propulsion for spacecrafts

Kimmo Huosionmaa

This text is made because on new Star Wars movie, where Jedi-warrior or knights fight together like they would be above or separated another galactic conflict what is created by George Lucas. But do you know that there have been real groups of futurologists who imagine how that equipment of that film could work?  Those people created a model of example TIE-fighter, and that small fighter what is used by imperial Starfleet would work without own power source. The fighter itself uses magneto dynamic- drive known as WARP, what is integrated it wings what seems like solar panels.


Those engineers thought that those panels would be radio antennas where Starfleet sends high power radio-transmissions, what uses that fighter system. So that high power radio transmission will work like Tesla's wireless power transmission through air. That kind of things could be possible in tomorrow when we can build enough energy to operate aircraft and satellites by radio waves what will send from Earth. External power systems are tested in real life when laser systems will be used to push some small craft through the air, and method what is used is simple. The laser hits the craft and heats air below it when it rises that object to air.

https://www.sciencealert.com/nasa-scientists-are-investigating-a-propulsion-system-that-could-reach-mars-in-3-days

Those laser propelled spacecraft can reach Mars in 3 days. The power of that kind of laser would be very huge, and if that kind of system what NASA might want to use with spacecraft is like NOVA-laser. The most powerful laser in the world, but if they just want to launch objects to orbiter the only needed system is a naval laser gun. With that system is possible to launch miniature satellites to the orbital trajectory. Satellite what will launch with laser system must be equipped with a great structure like a kite because heat will rises extremely hot, and a laser is easier to aim to big but thin target. If that targets surface area is big, will heat split to a larger area and it allows to use a laser  to push it to trajectory without fear of overheating.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAdj6vpYppA


Laser might also use to push satellites upwards in their trajectory and that will increase the life of low earth orbiting satellite because they must not use their rocket motors for that maneuver. If that spacecraft uses internal electric generators and turbines or small nuclear reactors the laser system could target to carbon fiber cones, what heats very high temperature. After that, those systems might flight in deep space or fly without voice above some area. If there is motor jet tubes circular formation around that vehicle that will allow making that thing able to fly in any way where it needs to change its course with very high surprise effect.


That model you will see from the second link or click this. Another way to use external power is point laser to some airplane, where it heats very cold gas or liquid substance what might be water or some other liquid what creates steam while heating. The steam what comes out from the jet tube will work like conventional rocket or jet engine. Another way to use that wireless power transmission is to point radio MASER to some propel aircraft what is equipped with an electric engine. That transmission will put electric motors work, and that kind of system allows small drones like "Kormoran" and "Aquila" to work even years, and that operation will look like that those drones are circulating around those power systems.


Or if those systems use more power they could supply energy to bigger RPV:s like "Predator", but the problem with extremely powerful radio signals is that it could damage electronics and harm birds if they create the electric arc in the air. That makes them easier to modification as a weapon, and EMP cannon is probably an extremely powerful radar, what sends very powerful radio signals through the air.  That kind of stuff works like some EMP-wave what is created with nuclear weapons.

New winds for interstellar probes.
