Visions of bright future

Illustration picture Picture I http://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/p/this-is-what-orbital-railgun-would-look.html Kimmo Huosionmaa In this picture is an artist impression of the combat spacecraft, and it could be one version of "Project Thor", what was mentioned for the high power railgun, what is planned to send to the orbiter. In fact, the "Thor" was not pure railgun, what would use the pure magnetic accelerator. This system was mentioned to be like the extremely powerful airgun. Behind the accelerator was a chamber, what was filled with the hydrogen and oxygen gases, and then this gas combination would be ignited with the electric arc, and that would push the iron projectile to the accelerator. Then the magnetic rail would give extra speed to that projectile. That magnetic accelerator could have the capacity, that it can be pulled inside the satellite, that nobody sees it from outside. The rail would be kilometers long, and it can be made extremel...

CL-400 "Suntan" (Picture I) http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/p/lockheed-cl-400-suntan.html Kimmo Huosionmaa Lockheed CL-400 "Suntan" test plane from 1950's is not so well-known as the U-2 or some other reconnaissance planes, what were made under the legendary C.H "Kelly" Johnson at the Lockheed "Skunk Works". This plane was the first attempt to create the hydrogen-powered aircraft, and the experience of that plane was after used to create "Skylon" space planes and other hydrogen-powered aircraft. "Suntan" is looking unique, because the motors are at the end of the wings, and that solution gave extra protection for the test pilot because if the motors were exploded, the debris would not come thru the fuselage. Other reasons for that solution was, that it gave more space in the fuselage, and the heat of those motors would not warm the fuel tanks. Sometimes have been mentioned, that the position of t...

Mercury capsule (Picture I) http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/p/the-combat-spacecraft-are-quite-easy-to.html Kimmo Huosionmaa There are many ways to make realistic combat spacecraft and the governments of the USA, Russia, and China might have many versions of those things, what seems like some Science Fiction stuff. One of the most realistic versions of making "killer satellite"is used as a "Mercury"-type spacecraft, what is filled with plastic explosives. The nose of the spacecraft must be weaker than another layer, and then the explosives just break the core of the spacecraft, and at the front of the explosives might be steel balls, what would travel to the target with extremely high speed. The problem with that device is actually the debris, what would close the trajectory from all satellites. This is why the military space systems are not allowed to test in space. And that's why there is created the anti-satellite weapons, what uses m...

(Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa Hypersonic missile or cruise missile (HCM) is the new type of weapon, what uses technology that allows the weapon glide to the ground with the extremely high speed with gentle incoming trajectory. This would give the very big challenge for the defense, what must react this threat only in a couple of seconds. The launching of those extremely fast weapons may be done by submarines, surface warships or by aircraft. This weapon is the new type of solution for first strike missions. Hypersonic cruise missiles are developed in many nations. The limitations of this kind of weapon are very difficult because they don't need warheads. And the kinetic energy what is boosted with microwaves is the devastating combination for aircraft carriers. The microwave-transmitter can installed to the nose of those missiles, and it can be got the necessary electric power from windmill turbogenerators. The extremely high speed would give very powerful microwaves....
