Lunar Space Elevators and Lunar Slings:
- A complete cis-lunar transportation system, from LEO to the lunar poles
- Transports Earth supplies and structures to lunar bases, mines, and habitats
- Transports lunar regolith and other materials to LEO
- Solar-powered robotic vehicles use the lunar space elevator, tramway, and slings
Our Lunar Space Elevator and Lunar Sling are based on our recent technology advances - Extended lunar space elevator about L1, with tramway to the pole
- Rotating lunar sling for massive payload launching to L1 and to LEO
- Lunar tramway from equator to pole, over maria, craters, and mineral deposits
- Existing composites for elevator, tramway, and sling ribbons
