Leverage Dual Space Access Architecture
Advanced Rockets and Space Elevators

During this multi-author 24-month long study, Space Elevator concepts grew towards cooperation with advance rockets. The strategy for the future is simple: leverage the strengths of both rockets and Space Elevators in a complementary approach.

Here are some insights that became apparent during this ISEC Study:

Why Space Elevators? Unmatched Efficiency of delivery to the customer provided by a permanent space transportation infrastructure. Space Elevators deliver 70% of the mass from the EarthPort to GEO, the Moon and onto Mars, while rockets deliver only 2% of their pad mass to GEO.

Modern-Day Space Elevators will be transformational as a permanent space access infrastructure, called the Green Road to Space, inside a Dual Space Access Strategy.
