The United States is not only cutting costs on its space program, but is cutting them so much that it is not yet clear what will happen to it next. While the flight program is calculated until 2016. For several years, American astronauts will travel to the ISS on Russian ships. Even all the last

The tests of the electromagnetic gun stunned the military - a three-gram projectile that hit a steel plate turned it into plasma Despite the disastrous reforms in our Armed Forces, the military scientific and technical intelligence does not stand still, the development of new types of weapons capable of

The US Army is currently rethinking its strategy for developing telecommunications technology on the battlefield and is scheduled to conduct a series of exercises and tests this year that will compare different technologies, programs and equipment. Large-scale trials will help

This article will focus on the development of domestic cosmonautics, or rather, even on the development potential, which could be used more successfully by us than by the Americans. So, the American Atlas V rocket, which launched the newest orbital plane of the X-37B states into orbit, flies on Russian

The rocket engine NK-33, developed by Soviet designers for the lunar program of the USSR back in the 60s of the last century, was recently successfully tested in Samara. At one time, the leadership of the CCCP abandoned the NK-33, but now it turned out that over the past years, the engine not only has not become obsolete

This summer, Russian Soyuz rockets are to be launched for the first time from the European Kourou cosmodrome, located in French Guiana. Officially, the partners praise the unparalleled cooperation, but in reality they do not trust each other

The People's Republic of China is gradually and quite successfully realizing its ambitious space plans and is bursting into space at an alarming speed. The Chinese space program was launched in 1956. The first goal of the program was the launch of a satellite into low-earth orbit, this event is the Chinese

Scientists Carlos Hernandez and Quentin Salter, who are involved in the development and creation of a prototype of the ship's laser cannon, demonstrated to reporters what the US Navy's new Free Electron FEL (FEL) injector is capable of. The injector, which is essentially the heart of the FEL (it is designed

Asteroids have always been a danger to the Earth - just look at the example of the extinction of dinosaurs, but more than 60 million years have passed since then. For all the time of its existence, mankind has not faced such a problem, and, to be honest, they began to think about it for the most part

A year ago, the strongest earthquake in Haiti killed 222,000 people. After that, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez publicly blamed the US authorities for this disaster, saying that it was the result of a directional earthquake test. At the same time, Haiti was only a rehearsal, and the main goal

American scientists are working on the creation of the "uniform of the future" - an ultralight "overalls" that not only protects against moisture, explosions and bullets, but also monitors the condition and health of the soldier and helps to navigate the terrain. These developments are carried out by the Institute of Soldiers

Today, few people remember that before the only launch of Buran, the Energia carrier rocket flew into space without a shuttle. Even fewer people know why she flew there. Newsreels of those times usually show "Energy" from such an angle that the payload is almost invisible. Only on some

In the United States, work has begun on the creation of a protective helmet, which is very similar to the props of the movie "Star Wars", and are engaged in the design of exoskeletons that can increase the strength of a person, making him, in fact, a "robocop". According to experts, the soldier of the XXI century, who put on the armor, which now

Today it is difficult to find a sphere of human activity that does not use space technologies. But it should be remembered that among the factors that at one time stimulated the space activities of mankind, one of the main ones was the issue of ensuring national security. Today

The growing US budget deficit every year could not but affect the financing of the Pentagon, which, most likely, will have to significantly reduce its appetites and abandon a number of programs, one of which is the development of an aircraft laser for missile defense

Human thought in the field of creating new weapons does not stand still. In the XX century and the coming XXI, this process has accelerated many times, starting the last century with sweeping cavalry attacks of the First World War, already in the Second World War, mankind stepped with tanks as the main force of the breakthrough. Then

Not so long ago, anti-ufologists P. Poluyan (a physicist from Krasnoyarsk) and A. Anfalov (coordinator of the society of observers of anomalous manifestations of the environment) conducted their own investigation. With this investigation, scientists tried to answer the question of where in the USSR and the CIS man-made UFOs were created, “flying

As you know, breaking is not building. However, this piece of folk wisdom is not a universal truth. In any case, it is no easier to disable a spacecraft than to build it and launch it into orbit. It was supposed to break, of course, enemy military satellites, but it happens

The first attempts to protect personnel from bullets and shrapnel were made during the First World War and continued during the Second. So during the Second World War, many fighters of the elite units of the Red Army were dressed in armored cuirass, which, by the way, had rather weak protective properties, but with

The sniper is by far the most fearsome of enemies, as he can kill from a great distance. The existing methods of protection against snipers depend on the type or sound of the first shot, that is, they are triggered at a time when it may be too late. But now a new device has appeared that
