[56] [57] In January 2016, North Korea claimed to have successfully tested a hydrogen bomb, [58] although only a magnitude 5.1 seismic event was detected at the time of the test, [59] a similar magnitude to the 2013 test of a 6–9 kt (25–38 TJ) atomic bomb. These seismic recordings cast doubt upon North Korea's claim that a hydrogen bomb was ...
About 85% of the bomb's energy could be directed into the target as plasma, albeit with a very wide cone angle of 22.5 degrees. A 4,000 ton spacecraft would use 5 kiloton charges, and a 10,000 ton spacecraft would use 15 kiloton charges. [1] Orion also researched the possibility of nuclear shaped charges being used as weapons in space warfare ...
The visual effects of a high-altitude or space-based explosion may last longer than atmospheric tests, sometimes in excess of 30 minutes. Heat from the Bluegill Triple Prime shot, at an altitude of 50 kilometers (31 miles), was felt by personnel on the ground at Johnston Atoll , and this test caused retina burns to two personnel at ground zero ...
The hydrogen bomb, which carried the force of 50 million tons of conventional explosives, was detonated in a test in October 1961, 4,000 meters over the remote Novaya Zemlya archipelago above the ...
The Soviet Almaz secret military space station program was equipped with a fixed 23mm autocannon to prevent hostile interception or boarding by hostile forces. [1] This was the first and so far the only space-to-space weapon to be fired in orbit. [2] [better source needed]
The militarisation of space involves the placement and development of weaponry and military technology in outer space. The early exploration of space in the mid-20th century had, in part, a military motivation, as the United States and the Soviet Union used it as an opportunity to demonstrate ballistic-missile technology and other technologies ...
A thermonuclear aerial bomb which was the most powerful bomb created and tested in history. [3] October 1961 Soviet Union: Cobalt bomb: A nuclear bomb designed to spread as much radiation around as possible. Hydrogen bomb: Second-generation nuclear weapon design using non-fissile depleted uranium to create a nuclear fusion reaction. 1952
