    Title

    Modern Day Space Elevators Customer Design Drivers

    type

    oral

    Description

    Modern Day Space Elevator design concepts are driven from many arenas. The first is the dynamic situation of deploying 100,000 km of tether in the space environment from the surface of the ocean to the altitude well beyond geosynchronous. Within the Earth based region there are design drivers due to the various environments ranging from the ocean and atmospheric demands near the Earth Port as well as the tremendous temperature range and environmental challenges of the vacuum of space. In addition, the architect and systems engineer must consider a vast range of requirements from customers. The demands of a million tonnes deposited on the surface of Mars (or the Moon) and the needs at geosynchronous for 3,000,000 tonnes of space solar power satellites solidifies requirements to move massive payloads routinely, daily, inexpensively and oriented to customers’ needs. In addition, the dramatic need to accomplish all of this without damaging the Earth’s atmosphere will ensure that the Space Elevator as the Green Road to Space will be realized. Indeed, these customer demands will lead to the realization that Space Elevators will enable missions of vast importance to humanity (saving the planet with Space Solar Power satellite delivery, Mars Settlement delivery, Lunar habitat support, and missions to the outer planets). This session will discuss needs of Space Elevators’ future customers and start the refinement of design criteria and identify customer requirements necessary to initiate realistic designs. The Keynote Speech for this technical session will be entitled the “Jerome Pearson Memorial Lecture.”
