Photon torpedo launchers aboard ships are shown to be able to fire probes, which, in-universe, are designed with this functionality in mind. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, a torpedo casing is used as a makeshift coffin for burial in space and as scientific probes as in the TNG episode "In Theory" and in Star Trek Generations.
The term photon torpedo was only invented for a later episode "Arena", but the same effect was used in this one although still called phaser. On September 16, 2006, "Balance of Terror" became the first digitally remastered Star Trek episode, featuring enhanced and new visual effects, computer generated (CGI) spaceships, and high-definition format.
The Mark 48 was initially developed as REsearch TORpedo Concept II (RETORC II), one of several weapons recommended for implementation by Project Nobska, a 1956 summer study on submarine warfare. [9] The Mk-48 torpedo was designed at the end of the 1960s to keep up with the advances in Soviet submarine technology.
The design was intended to be 145 metres (476 ft) long with a top speed of warp 5, and was heavily armed with several wing, neck and head mounted disruptor cannons, [18] and fore and aft photon torpedo launchers. [19] A large belly cannon on the underside of the ship was placed by Eaves to evoke the design of the A-10 Thunderbolt. [17]
After Voyager manages to destroy a Borg probe by beaming a photon torpedo aboard, Seven of Nine finds data nodes filled with tactical information among the debris. With it they locate a heavily damaged sphere nearby, and Captain Janeway decides to plan a "heist" – invade the Borg vessel while its defenses are down and take its transwarp coil ...
The fictional technology in Star Trek has borrowed many ideas from the scientific world. Episodes often contain technologies named after or inspired by real-world scientific concepts, such as tachyon beams, baryon sweeps, quantum slipstream drives, and photon torpedoes.
The photon torpedo has 1.5 kilograms, and produces 270 petajoules; this is correct, since 180+90=270 (1kg+0.5kg=1.5kg). So, the power of the photon torpedo explosion should be lower than 64.44mt. The problem could be that about half of an antimatter explosion's power is released as EM and neutrinos, and neutrinos do not react with anything thus ...
