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

There'll be a report in our imminent June newsletter about the #SpaceElevator track at the recent #ISDC2026 conference, but it's already published on the #NSS website, follow this link : nss.org/the-space-el... ... and as a bonus, there's a nice comment from the legendary Larry Niven !

The Space Elevator Track at ISDC - NSS

For the first time, the space elevator track at ISDC expanded to two sessions: the morning dedicated to powering the space elevator and the afternoon covering a variety of issues critical for space el...

Thanks to @toughsf.bsky.social for this. For reference, an Earth Space Elevator would need a material with a strength just above the top of the UTS/strain plot. @adriannixon.bsky.social : anything to add ?

Fascinating material property charts from "Hierarchically structured bioinspired nanocomposites": www.researchgate.net/publication/... Natural silk is outstanding, even when compared to carbon nanotubes and graphene-enhanced fibers.

This is relevant to the Space Elevator (SE) as payloads could be transferred to/from the cycler for a minimum-fuel transit ... ... but some delta-V is usually needed as the Cycler wouldn't be in the equatorial plane. A question for @adamsspaceresearch.bsky.social : what's the worst-case delta-V ?

Our SpaceElevator Challenge asks students to work on an important SE application (www.isec.org/academic-cha... )... ...but those wanting a more practical challenge could work on a WSPEC competition (www.wspec.org) ... but they need $$$ ! We've helped, can you ? www.gofundme.com/f/help-wspec...
