Space Elevators position humanity to address Earth's challenges from a new vantage point. We are on the brink of transforming our relationship with space, offering an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and efficient logistics method to transport large cargoes into space. This space port will provide unparalleled opportunities in space exploration, resource utilization, and satellite assembly. Starting in the late 2030s, Space Elevator infrastructures will deliver satellites and other payloads to GEO, the Moon and Mars at the rate of 30,000 tonnes, every year.

Space Elevators position humanity to address Earth's challenges from a new vantage point. We are on the brink of transforming our relationship with space, offering an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and efficient logistics method to transport large cargoes into space. This space port will provide unparalleled opportunities in space exploration, resource utilization, and satellite assembly. Starting in the late 2030s, Space Elevator infrastructures will deliver satellites and other payloads to GEO, the Moon and Mars at the rate of 30,000 tonnes, every year. Once the Modern-Day Space Elevator development program emerged in 2020, the concept of an active transportation node at the Apex Anchor became obvious. The enhancement of the roles at an Apex Anchor showed how it will become a Full-Service Transportation Node focused around the "Logistics Center at the top of the Gravity Well." The inherent rapid release velocity (7.76 km/sec) at an Apex Anchor - and the ability to release every day of the year towards any destination, such as the Moon, Mars and even Pluto - opens up the universe to humanity. These capabilities at the Full-Service Transportation Node led to the enabling of future missions. Study Concept: This ISEC research report developed the concept of assembly, refuel, repair or full construction of large space systems above the gravity well. This concept is unique as each of the segments arrives at the Apex Anchor with tremendous energy gained by rising from the ocean surface. In essence, each segment is similar to a fully fueled segment of a truck convoy resulting in a Full-Service Transportation Node. The concept - let's build huge space systems that already have monumental energy stored by being out of the gravity well and having huge velocities upon release. The study continued to develop the concept and came up with a remarkable number of missions that would be revolutionary in concept, but evolutionary in off planet.
