The International Space Elevator Consortium conducted a year-long
study on the development of a space elevator Earth Port. This
report addresses the functional requirements and missions leading
to a mature engineering complex along the equator. The report
represents the culmination of efforts by multiple contributors
describing the functions and operations of the Earth Port and how
it interacts with other space elevator nodes. The challenge was to
bring in a fresh perspective on an Earth Port by leveraging experts
in many fields beyond those normally associated with space
elevators. As a result of the contributions from a variety of
professional backgrounds, this study should reflect a more
realistic perspective of the activities at the Earth Port of a
future space elevator.
