In the last year, the International Space Elevator Consortium
assessed that basic technological needs can be met with current
capabilities: and, each segment of the Space Elevator
Transportation System is ready for engineering validation. Because
of the availability of a new material as a potential Space Elevator
tether, the community strongly believes that a Space Elevator will
be initiated in the near term. Included in the book is a series of
appendices that are tremendous references to the status of the
space elevator today. Included are a lexicon of space elevator
terms, over 750 references in the bibliography, short descriptions
of eight ISEC year-long studies and two IAA 4-year studies on space
elevators, as well as a summary of over 20 Architectural Notes
covering the development of space elevator technologies.
