Gizmonics Space Elevator Page

Gizmonics supports the Space Elevator effort. We have embraced the concept, and have made it our corporate hobby.
We contribute in the form of technical papers, and in financial support to Elevator:2010, the Space Elevator Challenge.
For more information on Elevator:2010, click here.

There are several excellent introductions to the space elevator on the Web.
If you are just finding out about the space elevator concept, we've included a list of several introductory web-sites at the end of the page.
You should be familiar with the basic space elevator concept and design in order to follow the proposals we outline in the rest of this site.
For a really quick introduction, check out*  this excellent movie by ISR.
For a more thorough introduction, read through these pages, also by ISR.

* We frequently use pop-up windows as part of our web-site... We do not carry any advertising...  Really!
   If you are using a pop-up blocker (e.g. the google toolbar) this is a good time to switch it off.
