The first issue of ISEC’s Space Elevator Journal is now here!  Volume 1 / Number 1 (publication date – December, 2011) is hot off the presses and will soon be sent out to all ISEC members (past and present) and Journal contributors.

The Journal consists of 8 peer-reviewed Papers plus some additional articles that I think our readers will enjoy.  If I do say so myself, the content level of this Journal is quite high.  We’re now working on making it available in ePub format and then will begin to plan for the next volume of the Journal.

As mentioned earlier, all members of ISEC will be receiving this Journal in the mail soon.  If you are not a member of ISEC but want to purchase a copy, it will also soon be available on the ISEC website.  But rather than buy it there, why not join ISEC instead? You will get a copy of the Journal mailed to you as part of your membership benefits and you will help us move this most magnificent engineering project forward.

Update Feb 9, 2012 – You can now order this hard-copy publication at lulu.com.
