Title: [Question] Energy for lasers
Post by: Siege on July 19, 2013, 06:54:53 PM
How much energy a laser needs to be useful against an orbital target?
I know the Army blew the shit out of a decomisioned  comm satellite back in 2005.
I'm asking here of really combat capable lasers, capable of making a hole without having to burn through the target like current lasers do.

Tell your Chinese handler it's none of his fucking business.

I think the yellow ones have eliminated the middleman and nowadays just post using Siege's account.

Siege, as a Jew you know physics right? You could look at the energy of the smallest/less energetic regular bullet that you think would wreck a satellite. There's your kind of base energy, then you just adjust for all the differences between a laser beam and a bullet and you're done.
