Call for Comments – Official ISEC Paper on Space Elevator Survivability – Space Debris Mitigation

One of the many ISEC projects we’ve been working on this year is coming up with an “official position paper” on the subject of this year’s theme; Space Elevator Survivability – Space Debris Mitigation.

A team headed up by Dr. Peter Swan has been working on this document and it is now ready for review – I’ve linked to it here (Word / PDF).

Comments are ENCOURAGED – this is a draft document and is subject to change, pending comments from reviewers.  This paper will be the subject of the Space Elevator Conference Technical Pillar workshop scheduled for Sunday, August 15th.  Once the comments have been incorporated, this document will be officially released as an ISEC Position paper.

Please send all comments to peter.swan@isec.info.
