The fleet of mini-probes can travel in the solar systems quite soon.



The new type of space mission might consist of a fleet of miniature probes. And the larger probes that are coming to an asteroid are marked by mini probes. Those systems are operating by using highly advanced artificial intelligence. And they can make many decisions by themselves. 

The NASAs "Psyche" probe is traveling to the asteroid belt and operates using solar-powered ion engines. But the successor of that interesting probe might be something else. It can be the swarm of miniature probes that are traveling in the solar system. 

The fleet of "mini Psyches" can operate in the internal solar system. The idea of the miniature space probes is similar to drone swarms. They are simpler, cheaper, and more limited than full-scale probes. But they can cover a larger area. The miniature probes can operate along with the full-scale probes. 

And search for things like minerals. The miniature space probes are the tool that can observe multiple asteroids in the same mission. The sensors of those systems might be magnetometer, laser-spectrometer which has combined with lidar and laser scanner. And a CCD camera that is connected with a spectrometer. The idea is that this kind of system are using so much integrated technology as possible. 

The sensors of those miniature systems are limited but things like laser systems can integrate into one package. The lens is turning the laser into an effective spectrometer. And when the lens is removed from the route of laser ray that system can vaporize material from the asteroid's surface. The chemical combinations of that material can observe by using the spectrometer. The same laser system can use as a communication tool. And it can also mark the place where the miniature probe is. 

The smaller probes can search objects for the larger-size probes that have more versatile sensors. The idea is that the system is operating by using both types of probes. A large group of simpler probes is searching for the most interesting asteroids from the solar system. And then the larger probes are driving themselves to that asteroid.

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 ...
