Laser-broom would sweep space junk from orbit





Laser-broom would sweep space junk from orbit

The idea of this system is simply, laser rays would just sweep the space junk away from the orbit, but the problem is that this kind of system is rumored to serve rather military purposes than just sweep the debris out from orbiting trajectory(1). 

One of the major problems with that kind of system is that if they are used against big pieces of debris, that thing would cause that the thing would be crushed to the smaller particles. Those particles are difficult to see, and the smaller debris is the bigger problem than the big particles, which are easier to see. 

Use of small laser satellites to clean debris away

Space debris is a very big problem because impacting those particles can destroy the billion dollars satellites and space probes, and that is the reason, why the orbital trajectories wanted to be clean from that debris, and there is one very interesting project, what might interest people. The project is called OLaMoT(2). Orbital laser momentum transfer-project or OLAMOT is basing the small-size satellites and lasers, which are used to clean the debris from the orbiter. 

In OLAMOT-project Finish Geodetic Institute is researching the artificial intelligence-based solution that helps to aim the laser. Another participant Thales corporation would research, what kind of laser would be suitable in this operation. 

The project what is made between Thales corporation and the FGI (Finnish Geodetic Institute) is based on the satellites, what is pushing dangerous debris to the atmosphere, and that means that this kind of small satellites can detect the space debris, and then give the laser-impulse to that object, what would release the molecular cloud from the outer layer of that thing. That molecular vapor would act as a small rocket motor and push the piece of debris to the atmosphere without making new debris to the trajectory. 

The OLAMOT-system must react very fast when it notices the debris, and that's why the system must react extremely fast, and that's why the system might use artificial intelligence to locate the targets. The idea of this artificial intelligence-based system is similar to the software, which recognizes the faces in mobile telephones. But at this time, it would recognize the debris. Then it would aim it and launch the laser system. 

The thing, that makes OLAMOT interesting is that the system is targeted to the smallest parts of space debris, which is very hard to detect. But if the satellite would have an "auto-fire button" it can be a very interesting tool for sweeping the orbiter, and of course, that thing would be useful also for use in the killer satellites. 

The FGI is researching the system, which would detect the space debris, by using the image detection system, where is connected to the trajectory information of the satellite and debris. The thing that makes this system interesting is that there is a possibility to make the system, which would use artificial intelligence to detect and launch the laser against the target. If that process would be automatized, this system can be revolutionary in space technology.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...
