  5. Orbiting Armageddon: Russia’s #EMP Threat from Space and Transatlantic Responses

    Apr 17, 2025

    Excerpt: "If a #NuclearBomb were detonated in orbit, the physical effects would be unlike a typical terrestrial nuclear blast. There would be no mushroom cloud or shock wave in the vacuum of space. Instead, the weapon’s energy would be released as intense radiation and electromagnetic pulses (Scientific American).

    "#Satellites within line of sight of the explosion would be instantly subjected to a blinding flash of gamma rays and X-rays, likely frying their electronics on contact (Scientific American). Moments after, a powerful #EMP would form as the bomb’s gamma radiation ionizes the upper atmosphere. This process, known as the #ComptonEffect, releases billions of high-energy electrons that race along Earth’s magnetic field lines (Scientific American). The result is an expanding wave of electromagnetic energy.

    "U.S. defense officials have described this kind of space-triggered EMP as a 'massive energy wave' that could 'destroy satellites' and disrupt a vast swath of the satellites that the world depends on for communication and commerce (Carnegie). In essence, one orbital blast could simultaneously knock out numerous satellites – military and civilian – that are crucial to GPS navigation, telephone and internet links, financial transactions, weather forecasting, and more.

    "An EMP from space could also induce chaos on the ground. The pulse would interact with Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field to send geomagnetically induced currents surging through power lines and electronic networks (Aerospace America). In 1962, the U.S. #StarfishPrime test proved this danger: although detonated 400 kilometers above the Pacific, its EMP caused voltage spikes that blew out 300 streetlights and knocked out telephone lines in Hawaii, nearly 1,500 kilometers away (Scientific American , Aerospace America).

    "An orbital detonation today, especially if positioned over populated regions, could overload electrical grids across vast areas. Transformers and grid infrastructure could be destroyed by the sudden, uncontrolled currents (Aerospace America). The scale of blackout could range over one or several countries, depending on the weapon’s altitude and yield. Experts warn that such a scenario would be devastating.

    "A U.S. Congressional commission on EMP found that a nationwide power outage caused by a high-altitude nuclear blast could collapse critical infrastructure – an outcome it described as a potential
    'civilization killer' if power and services were not restored quickly (Carnegie). In addition to massive economic damage, the disruption of communication and radar networks would impair defense capabilities, complicating crisis management during the very moment it’s most needed.

    "Beyond the immediate blast and pulse, a space-based nuclear explosion would have a long-duration effect that could be even more damaging to space infrastructure. The explosion’s charged particles would become trapped by Earth’s magnetic field, forming an artificial radiation belt encircling the planet (Scientific American).

    "This is exactly what happened after Starfish Prime: a man-made #RadiationBelt lingered for years, eventually destroying a third of all satellites in orbit at the time (Scientific American). In today’s environment, with thousands of satellites, the consequences would be dire. The intense radiation would bathe #LowEarthOrbit, causing surviving satellites to degrade and fail over the ensuing days, weeks, and months (Aerospace America). Many satellites that weren’t immediately destroyed would succumb to this enhanced radiation environment.

    "Nearly 10,000 active satellites now orbit Earth, and most are not designed to withstand extreme nuclear radiation (Aerospace America). Critical constellations – for example, #SpaceX’s #Starlink network of small satellites (over 6,000 in orbit) that provides high-speed broadband, including to Ukrainian forces – would likely be heavily degraded or completely knocked offline (Scientific American). Replacement of satellites would be hampered as well: the orbital 'fallout' zone could remain dangerous for new satellites for years, denying space to any fresh deployments (Aerospace America). Even astronauts and cosmonauts in space could be in peril."

    Fixing problems and upgrading hardware would be utterly impractical. Also the hardware would decay faster due to the increased background radiation. The whole thing is, as you say, absolute bullshit.
    The only possible reason for wanting to store masses of data in low orbit would be if they imminently expect a large number of EMP events here on the surface.

    yall,, anyone else think the last few years of #killstar collections kinda sucked? full of generic merch and all, felt like I was in an #EMP.

    even our local #alt/#goth/#emo store buys less and less Killstar now and instead goes for #punkrave, #tributica, #vixxsin and such brands lately.

    and i'm here for it!

    Beispiele aus einem anderen Zeitalter zu bringen ist ... schlicht derailing. Damals hatten die meisten Haushalte z.B. nichtmal Strom.

    Die Welt ist heute eine VÖLLIG andere, sowohl gesellschaftlich als auch global/technisch. Heutzutage gibt es völlig andere und ungleich mehr Möglichkeiten als diese Strassenschlachten. #emp #LetYourMoneyTalk ....

  29. @sasutina13 So yeah.... Ding ding ding!!! I'm going to use the Aluminum Foil - Duct Tape material in place of the resistive foam!

  30. And yes, I will be testing the foil + duct tape + packing tape out on my cell phone. If a homemade sleeve can block out #RFID, it *might* be able to protect electronics from an #EMP (maybe...).

  31. Man trifft sie überall, unsere #Metalityheads - Auch beim Iron Fest 2025 und auf dem Malstrom am Hertasee!

    Derweil zeigte sich unser Chapter Ruhrpott Ende Juni bei der #SODOM Autogrammstunde im #EMP Store Dortmund.

    Auch beim Festival “Das Schloss Rockt!” gabs rege Beteiligung derMetalityheads. Am Stand feierten unsere Chapter gemeinsam mit den Bands Postmodern Fantasy, Aeverium und Johnny Stecker von #Soulbound. Auch Chapter Oberschwaben sagte Hallo.

    Gelegentlich schaffens die Chapter auch mal zwischendurch ein Chaptermeeting zu machen, so wie die Member aus Karlsruhe. Hier im Holzwurm in Huttenheim.

    Yesterday I got a shipping confirmation email for a book that was delivered five years ago. #EMP

  34. "In space, satellites deviated from their trajectories due to the changes in air density caused by the sudden heating triggered by the energetic processes. As a result, satellite trackers on the ground were unable to ascertain satellite positions and determine collision risk. NASA experts, at the same time, were trying to determine the risk to the astronauts and decide on emergency measures."

    That sounds bad.

    Es ist grundsätzlich sinnvoll, sich mal Gedanken zu machen, wie mensch einen oder mehrere Tage lang ohne Strom ⚡ (und Internet) "überleben" kann - ohne gleich in einen Prepper-Modus zu verfallen.
    Für meinen Geschmack machen sie viel zu viele Leute abhängig von der angebotenen Infrastruktur, zB wenn sie als Mobilitätsoption nur den ÖPNV wählen und sich noch nicht mal ein #Fahrrad gönnen.

    Ich finde es auch seit Jahrzehnten unverantwortlich, wie immer mehr wichtige, tw. lebenswichtige Strukturen von Techniken abhängig gemacht werden, die bei einem Ausfall alles Abhängige mit in den Abgrund reissen. Beispiel Telefon: Seit das ursprünglich separate Telefonnetz auf Netzwerk umgestellt wurde ist bei einem Ausfall des Internets auch kein Telefonieren mehr möglich. Die Vorteile der Umstellung sind vordergründig mit "mehr Komfort" etc beworben worden, die dadurch vereinfachten Überwachungs- und Kontroll-Möglichkeiten werden eher verschwiegen.
    #Dezentralität statt #Zentralismus ist nach wie vor eine libertäre Zielvorstellung.

    Als Physiker weiß ich auch, dass unsere Sonne gelegentlich #Sonneneruptionen so grossen Ausmaßes produziert, dass die bei uns induzierten magnetischen Stürme alle Elektronik, die nicht ausreichend in Faradayschen Käfigen (zB. Metallboxen) gesichert sind, per #EMP zu Elektroschrott grillen. Aktuell wird eine Wiederholung, wie das Carrington-Ereignis von 1859 nur für alle 500 Jahre prognostiziert, aber wenn es dann passiert, sind die Betroffenen technisch in die Steinzeit zurück katapultiert.
