Foreign media: Chinese scientists have disclosed a projectile launcher for space, aimed at removing hazardous trash from Earth's orbit.
The launcher was developed by aerospace engineers in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Shenyang, China, using the ancient Chinese gunpowder propulsion concept. It is stealthy, produces no smoke, light, or vibration when firing, and uses a closed gas system that absorbs energy.
The launcher uses small charges to generate high-pressure gas to push a piston, resulting in almost no recoil when firing, and it does not pollute the space environment. This technology solves the problem of interference caused by vibration and brightness from traditional space weapons to satellite instruments, while also avoiding the long-term pollution risk of propellant combustion to the orbital environment.
