Space Elevators
“The Space Elevator is closer than you think,” proclaims ISEC. This revolutionary low-cost space access transportation system will enable businesses to flourish on-orbit. Satellites will be built and serviced, research will be conducted, solar power will be generated, interplanetary journeys will be launched; from enterprises supported by Space Elevators.
Track Chair:
Dr. Peter A. Swan
President, International Space Elevator Consortium
Dr. Peter A. Swan is President of the International Space Elevator Consortium, with 50 years of space systems experience. Over the last ten years he has published many books on the topic as author, co-author, and/or co-editor. His expertise was leveraged as a full member of IAA as he edited four major study reports on space elevators and space mineral resources. His experiences include: AF (20 yrs), IRIDIUM (10 yrs), TSTI (10 yrs), and now ASU. Space Elevator Architecture and Roadmaps [2014], Space Elevators Systems Architecture [2005], and Road to Space Elevator Era [2019 soon].
