| Description: | This report proposes the lunar space elevator as a revolutionary method for facilitating development of cis-lunar space. The concept combines lunar space elevators with solar-powered robotic climbing vehicles, a system for lunar resource recovery, and orbit transfer space vehicles to carry the lunar material into high Earth orbit. The lunar space elevator provides a “highway” between Earth orbit and the Moon, to bring lunar products into Earth orbit, and to carry supplies from Earth orbit to lunar bases. |
