Emerging Technology – Super-Heavy Space Lift: Implications and Applications

The latest in our series of webinars, looking into areas such as propulsion, mission analysis, environment control and life support systems.

The development of families of super-heavy launch vehicles can enable exciting new ways of using space both for space science and for commercial applications. These include in-space manufacturing, energy from space, and ultra-large aperture telescopes.

This webinar will feature a series of short talks highlighting some of the key enabling applications of super-heavy launch vehicles, followed by open discussion and debate with participants. Aside from science and technology, there are other considerations for this new capability, for example; how do we avoid monopolies on access to space?; how do we ensure resilience in case a single launch provider fails?

Agenda to follow.
