Hi all! In my opinion, Europa explorer must be cheap and simple.
It must consist of 5 parts - 2 orbiters, 3 small and robust landers, and 3 nuclear and termonuclear bombs. I think that 10 Kt - 100 kt - 1 Mgt sequence is optimal. First orbiter is robust, high protected from radioactivity, armed device. On high orbite over Europe With simple and primitive long focused camera, laser-radar. It must to spectacle and record all nuclear explosion parametres. has also a radio recever from landers. second orbiter is orbiting low over the Europe. It must to fly over epicenter of nuke and drop lander to measure and see all. To defend more complex second orbiter from radioactivity rays of nuclear explosion, we struck and explode a nuke in another side of Europe Why nukes? Because it reveal all. First one, we"ll have a great quake of Europe. And can record all seismic infomation without landers. next one. we can to melt ice and see a clear water - just hollow in the crust!!! at 3 rd. We dont need a special lander. If we can melt great hollow in crust - we'll have a liquid water to catch our lander! We dont need airbags, rockets. Just an robust "lander" like small susmarine!! 4 th. we ll have great cloud of water vapour and ice to take from there any chemical information. |

QUOTE 1. The polygon WAS there to be bombed the hell out of in the first place. I fail to see the reason for testing the most powerful bomb EVER and at the same time trying not to hurt the polygon too much. its your right. but its was real case, it is not western myth based on Sakharov lies about "prevent pollutions" and "save lifes". Sakharov with Chrushchov never think about this, like their american enemies. QUOTE 2. The bomb weighed 27 metric tons regardless of whether it was a full yield, 100 Mt version or a scaled down 50 Mt version. The scaled down version merely had all its uranium in the 2nd and 3rd stage fusion jacket replaced by a jacket of lead which weighed the same, but was for all other purposes inert. initially superbomb must weight 40 tons. but wasnt bomber for such weight. bomb was lighten. Had been made mockup of bomb - 20 tons, but real bomb weight approximately 24-26 tons. Informations from pilots of Tu-95V. 27 tonn - its only capability of 3 bomb locks Дер5-6, each of them takes 9 tons. |
