Recent US and Chinese Antisatellite Activities

Ayer había una noticia acerca de la 'inevitable militarización del
espacio'. Seguimos un poco más con este tema...

http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/apj/apj09/fal09/mackey.html

Recent antisatellite (ASAT) activities by the United States and China
have revived questions regarding space warfare, the follow-on effects
of potential satellite destruction on a massive scale, national
accountability, and technological challenges to mitigate offensive
threats. Many of these same questions, which emerged during the
initial space race and Cold War, have taken on new emphasis in light
of growing multinational dependence upon satellites and the freedom to
access space. This article briefly reviews the history of US and
Soviet ASAT capabilities and testing during the Cold War, examines the
recent Chinese shoot-down of its failed Feng Yun-1C satellite and the
US shoot-down of the failed USA-193 satellite, and compares and
contrasts these two ASAT missions, highlighting the follow-on threats
to other nations' satellites. It also presents mitigating strategies
that may lessen the threat of future offensive countersatellite
operations, including enhanced situational awareness, improved
survivability/reduced vulnerability, and increased sustainability; it
then offers a brief look at countries capable of offensive
countersatellite operations.

Stealth wind turbines developed to avoid radar confusion

http://www.gizmag.com/stealth-wind-turbine-invisible-to-radar/13260/

Plans for the installation of wind farms the world over are being
delayed or abandoned due to objections from the aviation community or
air defense interests. The problem is that when it comes to low flying
aircraft or wind turbines, conventional radar has a bit of an identity
crisis - not being able to tell the difference. Recent tests in the
U.K. of "stealth" turbine technology could provide a solution.

"That research established an industrially relevant process for
nanotubes that was analogous to the methods used to create Kevlar from
rodlike polymers, except for the acid not being a true solvent,"
