LiftPort Group is committed to leading the frontier of human expansion into space. Our project has been in development for almost two decades and has evolved from the original project of an Earth Elevator, into our main focus now, the Lunar Space Elevator Infrastructure. Our concept is to create a permanent system on the Moon that is reusable, replaceable and expandable, to open up the resources present on the Moon, expand our presence in space, and improve life here on Earth.

LiftPort’s goals are ambitious. LiftPort will build three space-infrastructure assets:
1) Lunar Communications Platform (Oreades) – Relay between Earth and the Moon; observe the CisLunar environment for Total Space Domain Awareness.
2) PicoGravity Lab – Space Station at Earth-Moon Lagrange One (EML1); an operations headquarters, fuel depot, and in-space manufacturing and construction center.
3) Lunar Space Elevator – Heavy-cargo relay for Lunar mining, habitation, and anchor to attach our PicoGravity Lab.
If the Oreades network – that allows humanity a permanent settlement on the Moon – is the only thing LiftPort achieves, that will be good… That will change the Earth and the Moon.
However, we’re not done yet. If LiftPort can also build the PicoGravity Lab and the Lunar Space Elevator Infrastructure, then humanity will thrive – off-world! Using our base, our “liftport,” society will expand throughout the solar system. Our construction port might someday build spacecraft that take humanity to other stars!
