Join Michael Fitzgerald, ISEC’s Chief Architect, as his discusses the "grand plan" for space elevator development, from concept to full operation. Larger in scope than even a system of systems, the plan involves progressive segments which guide project chiefs in the development of their respective systems and yet is flexible enough to allow the inevitable changes brought about by new ideas and advances in technology.
July 17, 2020: How Space Elevators Work: Physics Concepts
A recording of the webinar from July 17, 2020 [81 min.]
Download the July 17, 2020 presentation materials for Dennis Wright
Join Dennis Wright, ISEC Vice President and nuclear and high energy physicist formerly with the Stanford Linear Accelerator, to discuss the physics of space elevators, their motions, their stability and the effects of their physical environment. His talk will also discuss ways to bring this material from the laboratory to industrial-scale production.
