Videos from IAC2021 now on YouTube Channel

In recent weeks a number of video summaries of #SpaceElevator papers presented at IAC2021 have been loaded to our YouTube channel : follow this link to view them all.

In general these videos explain how Space Elevators will enable easy access to space and other planets, but the most recent (by computational scientist Dr David Dotson) explains how they will also have a profound impact on our own planet by addressing #ClimateAction … here’s the video …

New Space Journal Article: "Space Solar Power Enabled by Dual Space Access Architecture”

Published in New Space Journal – authors: Michael Fitzgerald and Peter Swan - Sept 2021

ABSTRACT 

This article presents the concept that Space Elevators enable space solar power (SSP) architecture. An SSP constellation will significantly impact the climate change equation by slowing the increase in greenhouse gases across the globe. This article proposes that there is a dramatic need for permanent infra- structures that can move massive amounts of tonnage to Geo- synchronous Orbit (GEO) in a routine, daily, safe, and an Earth friendly manner. It lays out the concept of a Dual Space Access Architecture where rockets and Space Elevators are both compatible and complementary.VOL. 9 NO. 3􏰀2021NEW SPACE https://bit.ly/3lzNxCO
