Systems, apparatuses, and methods provide for technology that locates one or more masses of an ocean-based weather system, as the ocean-based weather system starts to organize and before the ocean-based weather system spawns a land-based storm, and controls a transmission of electromagnetic radiation from the space platform to the one or more masses, wherein the transmitted electromagnetic radiation tracks the one or more masses as the ocean-based weather system is starting to organize and rotate, and wherein the transmitted electromagnetic radiation prevents the ocean-based weather system from rotating and spawning the land-based storm.

The present invention relates to a drought analysis method using satellite imagery, wherein image information received from artificial satellites and ground observation data are provided to a satellite image storage and management server, and preprocessing and drought analysis algorithms are performed within the server to analyze drought conditions in the respective area.

A space system comprises two main satellites each describing a distinct elliptical orbit around the Earth, each of the two orbits being such that the space system makes it possible to provide a permanent or continuous service over at most a terrestrial zone comprising a polar cap and a region of different latitude over an interval of longitudes.

A laser system is provided that includes a master oscillator, a pre-amplifier, a power amplifier, a beam doubler, and a beam tripler. The laser system is configured to generate three different wavelengths, including, for example, wavelengths of 1064 nm, 532 nm, and 355 nm. The pre-amplifier can be optically aligned along a beam path exiting the master oscillator, to receive and pre-amplify a laser beam generated by the master oscillator. The amplifier can be optically aligned along a beam path exiting the pre-amplifier, and can be configured to receive a pre-amplified laser beam generated by the pre-amplifier. The beam doubler and beam tripler can be optically aligned along a beam path exiting the amplifier and can be configured to double and triple, respectively, an amplified laser beam generated by the amplifier.
