Helium balloons and small space launch vehicles can be the ultimate combination.



The "environment-friendly" or "wallet-friendly" space tourism by using helium balloons is one of the most interesting things in space exploration. The cost of that fun would be about 50 000 USD. Space tourism is accelerating the industrial and scientific use of space because the technologies are made for space tourism are suitable for people who have no astronaut training. And space tourism is a good method to bring investors for the industrial use of space. 

The idea is that the passengers would travel to the edge of space by using helium balloons where is the pressurized cabin. That kind of system would cost less money than the rocket and the views from the high atmosphere are impressive. But the helium balloons can also rise small rockets and space shuttles to the high atmosphere before their rocket stages start to operate.

The miniature rockets and space shuttles like Pegasus rocket and Dream Chaser space plane can use in scientific missions. But those systems can also equip with small-size remote-control laboratories. In those miniaturized laboratories the operators can grow crystals. That is used in the resonance circuits of the radio transmitters. New chemical compounds that can be used in nanotechnology can produce in the microgravitational environment. 

But those small-size space systems can also interest the military and intelligence operators. The small-size rockets can carry miniaturized recon satellites to low-orbiter. And that kind of satellite can observe the WLAN networks on Earth. But they can also collect data from the communication between hostile recon satellites and earth stations.

Also, the miniaturized recon satellites can observe other satellites by using CCD and gamma-ray cameras. Those systems can uncover recon and sleeping satellite bombers like FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) which can use for surprise attacks. And satellite-based EMP bombs which purpose is to suppress the communication and combat support systems. Also, satellite-based EMP systems can use to destroy hostile military satellites in conflicts. 

The miniature satellites and space planes can also be used in combat missions. They might equip with rockets or DEW (Directed Energy Weapons). Those systems can destroy other satellites. 

And that thing is making them very capable. In the cases of conflicts. The killer satellites can destroy GPS, communication, and recon satellites. And that makes them an excellent tool for the military. The targets for killer satellites are the combat support systems that are used to control the combat drones and aim the GPS-guided weapons. The size of the killer satellite is not very big. And those systems are already in use or under development.

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

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies.

The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material.
