  • Space Elevators, The Green Road to Space
    Cathy Swan / Jerry Eddy / Peter Swan
    This 18-month study has produced some remarkable results during a time of transition inside the space arena. As the dreams of many describe customer needs and lead to more assets in space (at GEO, the Moon and Mars), the realization grows that a robust permanent transportation infrastructure is desperately needed. Essentially, we (ISEC) must insert the 'positive environmental ...

  • Today's Space Elevator Assured Survivability Approach for Space Debris
    Peter Swan
    This study was designed to take the concept of Space Elevators and answer some questions relative to space debris. The team built upon the 2010 study on the topic and addressed many other issues to include: • The probabilities of orbital conjunctions between a space elevator and debris in Low Earth Orbit, Geo Earth Orbit, and Medium Earth Orbit. • The growth rate of space de...

  • Today’s Space Elevator
    Peter Swan
    In the last year, the International Space Elevator Consortium assessed that basic technological needs can be met with current capabilities: and, each segment of the Space Elevator Transportation System is ready for engineering validation. Because of the availability of a new material as a potential Space Elevator tether, the community strongly believes that a Space Elevator wil...

  • Design Considerations for the Space Elevator Apex Anchor and GEO Node
    Peter Swan
    The study team took on the challenge of expanding the 'body of knowledge' pertaining to the Apex and Geosynchronous elements of the Space Elevator. A special effort was made to describe the elements in the context of an entire Space Elevator. The report complements and expands earlier ISEC Space Elevator reports on the Climber, Operations Concept, Architectures & Roadmaps, and...

  • Birth of Air Force Satellite Reconnaissance
    Cathy Swan / Peter Swan / Rick Larned
    This history of SAFSP is dedicated to all those men and women who fought the Cold War, in silence - from above. No organization is better at gathering overhead intelligence than the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). Today’s NRO grew out of 3 organizations: AF, CIA, and Navy. The AF office for satellite reconnaissance was called the Secretary of Air Force’s Office of S...

  • Space Elevator Survivability Space Debris Mitigation
    Cathy Swan / Peter Swan / Robert 'Skip' Penny / Robert Skip Penny
    The International Space Elevator Consortium has created this position paper as a recognition that the space debris problem is an engineering one and can be mitigate. The question: 'Will space debris be a show stopper for space elevators?' is answered emphatically - NO! The mitigation concepts presented change the issue from a perceived problem to an engineering concern; but, b...
