The rotating asteroid can use as the space sling "quite easily"


If we think of the asteroids like Bennu, what is rotating quite fast, that asteroid can use as the space sling. The spacecraft that uses the catapult or sling must just connect the long cable to the surface of the asteroid by using the docking station.

This docking station is the screw that is drilled into the asteroid. When the cable is docked to the sling station the asteroid will start to rotate by using the rocket engines, which are connected to it, and then the craft will release at the right moment.

What if the asteroid would anchor in Lagrange point?


The asteroid that is near earth would offer a place where the interplanetary probes will pull at the first, and then the probe will connect to sling. An asteroid that is a couple of hundred meters in size might anchor at the Lagrange-point L-1  what is at the range between Earth and Moon, and you can see the location of that point in the diagram. Or L-2 point behind the Moon. 

The L-3 point is just behind the sun which makes it hard to reach. In the image II  the Lagrange points are portrayed.  And when the sling is needed the asteroid would put to rotating movement, which gives the centrifugal punch to the spacecraft. 

The miniature robot space shuttle could fly quite far away from Earth, and bring the samples from the asteroid belt. Also, the asteroid base sling would give the other unmanned probes more speed, when they are traveling to Mars or the giant gas planets. The catapult sling would make small-size space systems more capacity, and that thing saves fuel, what is required also for the operations at the asteroid belt and the moon-system of the giant gas planets.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting armor has
