The subject selected for this 2013 study is the Space Elevator
Tether Climber. The objective of the one year study was to survey
current concepts and technologies related to tether climbers,
identify critical issues, questions, and concerns, assess their
impact on the development of space elevators, and project towards
the future. The following are a few of the conclusions: * The study
used the concept of "constant power" as a baseline because of its
ability to lower design requirements on the tether climber. * The
mass breakout of 6 MT for a climber and 14 MT for customer payloads
seems feasible. The estimate is that with a travel time of one week
to GEO seven tether climbers can be on a tether simultaneously. *
The communication architecture should be integrated into the space
elevator infrastructure and nodal layout. * Solar power, as the
sole source, appears achievable. * The use of laser power as the
sole source also seems achievable.
