A new type of recon satellites can be more effective than ever before

 



A new type of recon satellites can be more effective than ever before


The recon satellite is only the one version of the space telescope. The high-power data-processing is the key element in those missions.


The image above this text is an artist's impression of the "James Webb" telescope. But it could be also an image of the new type of recon satellites, what can turn only their telescope. The difference between the space telescopes and recon satellites is the way, where they are looking at. The space telescope is observing the stars, and photo recon satellites are observing the interesting military targets. But both systems can operate in the same missions. They are only two ways to use the same equipment. 


Private space corporations are also given the possibility to establish a private intelligence service. That means that the company needs only high-resolution satellites, which can deliver the images from the military and other targets to the customer. This kind of thing could be the new area, where the private corporations can operate. 


If we think that the most powerful image-recon satellites can separate centimeter-class targets if the satellite is orbiting at the low earth orbiter, we must remember that most targets don't require that resolution. The biggest photo-reconnaissance satellites are claimed to be about ten meters, the size of the Keck telescope in Hawaii. The new recon satellites are equipped with plasma-spectrometers that can uncover the materials, which are used to build structures like bunkers and ships. 


If the satellite can turn only it's the telescope, that saves fuel. And this is why James Webb-telescope can be the model for the next generation recon satellites. 


That kind of system can be located to higher orbiter than small satellites, and that gives it better protection against ASAT (Anti-Satellite)-systems and if the structure of the recon satellite is similar to James Webb telescope that allows moving just the telescope, what saves the fuel of the satellite. That means that every change in the direction of the telescope doesn't require the use of propellant. 


The buildings like nuclear-plants and other systems like warships can be observed by using smaller resolution, and the image manipulation programs offer tools, which can zoom to the area very effectively. The artificial intelligence can collect data from some areas from different sources and combine them with the same files. 


A new type of image processing tools, what are using the method, what is calling as pixels recalculating, means that the computer will calculate the angles while it is forming a new image from the zooming area. That process happens in stages, which means that the computer would calculate the new forms by using lightweight zoom. 


The used methods are similar to what is used to restore the old photographs


This thing removes the pixels of CCD-camera and allows the very bright and accurate zoom even by using the lower resolution. The technique that is used in that kind of case is similar, which is used for remastering the old photographs. That means everybody can buy that kind of computer program, and this makes even the small recon satellites effective. 


When we are thinking about modern technology, we must realize that high-speed data transmission along with big mass memories allows that satellites can share more data than ever. They can film their entire orbit, and artificial intelligence can select the images, which are containing interesting forms like military equipment. 


Artificial intelligence can sort a large mass of data, which makes it an effective tool in this kind of mission. The data can share first to people, who are making the tactical decisions and after that, it can go to technical analyzes. But of course, one of the most important things, that the attack planner must know is doing the target contain radioactive material.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

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...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
