THE MODERN DAY SPACE ELEVATOR IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK!

2024 SPACE ELEVATOR CONFERENCE SEPTEMBER 7-8


NEWEST ISEC STUDY: APEX ANCHOR: FULL-SERVICE LOGISTICS TRANSPORTATION NODE AT
THE TOP OF THE GRAVITY WELL


SEE ISEC ARTICLES IN JOURNAL OF THE BRITISH INTERPLANETARY SOCIETY JULY 2023 AND
SPACEFLIGHT MAGAZINE JUNE 2023


2024 ISDC PRESENTATIONS

“The manufacture of tether-quality material for a space elevator still needs
more development, but the trajectory to a high-quality industrial product is
clear. It is not unreasonable to think that, as this graphene process continues
apace, space elevator tether production could begin in 5 to 10 years using
graphene as its material.” — “The Right Stuff,” Spaceflight, June, 2023. See
also our web page on Space Elevator Tether Materials: The Crux of the Matter.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Our vision: Space Elevators are the Green Road to Space while they enable
humanity's most important missions by moving massive tonnage to GEO and beyond.
They accomplish this safely, routinely, inexpensively, and daily; they are
environmentally neutral.



Space Elevator: What it is and will do
SPACE ELEVATOR 101 (20-MIN VIDEO)
 

“Space Elevators are the Green Road to Space” and “Space Elevators are the
Transportation Story of the 21st Century” are the last two studies with focus on
heavy cargo movement to GEO and the planets, in a green manner.

Frequently asked questions: which materials, what is a space elevator, what is
its history and more.

Galactic Harbours will Unify Transportation and Enterprise.

The Galactic Harbour will be the volume encompassing the Earth Port and
stretching up in a series of cylinders to include two tethers and the region
just beyond the Apex Anchors. Larger image.

In summary, customer product/payloads will enter the Galactic Harbour at the
Earth Port and exit at some point along the tether. Along the way, there will be
tremendous enterprise development such as easy assembly at GEO, refueling
operational satellites and construction, among other things, and release from
the Apex Anchor for trips to interplanetary destinations.

NOTE FROM THE ISEC CHIEF ARCHITECT: ELEVATE - 2024

Space elevators position humanity to address Earth’s challenges from a new
vantage point.  We are on the brink of transforming our relationship with space,
offering an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and efficient logistics method to
transport large cargoes into space.  This gateway will provide unparalleled
opportunities in space exploration, resource utilization, and satellite
assembly.   Starting in the late 2030s, space elevator infrastructures will
deliver satellites and other payloads to GEO, the Moon and Mars at the rate of
30,000 tonnes, every year. This surpasses the total launched between 1957 and
2022. Indeed – a seismic shift! By harnessing electricity for lift, each space
elevator promises daily deliveries of up to 14 tonnes to geostationary orbit
(GEO), dramatically reducing the environmental impact as compared to rocket
launches. Space elevator designs have an unmatched 70% pad mass to GEO
efficiency, as compared to only 2% for rockets. They have the potential to
unlock solutions to Earth's most pressing challenges such as harvesting solar
power from space, climate monitoring, and global communication networks.  As
humanity stands on the cusp of this new era, these ribbons from ocean to space
offer the promise of making space accessible to all, fostering global
cooperation, positioning humanity to address Earth's challenges, and inspiring a
sustainable future for our planet.
