The West Midlands Branch presents
Space Elevator Climber by Peter Robinson (FBIS, ISEC)

Speaker: Peter Robinson of the International Space Elevator Consortium (ISEC)
Date: Saturday 16 May 2020
Start Time: 14:00
End Time: 15:15
Venue: via Zoom

Peter shares his talk about the engineering requirements for a Space Elevator Climber using different technologies, previously presented at the International Space Elevator Consortium (ISEC) conference in Seattle in August 2019.

Peter walks us through the essential and secondary functional requirements for Climbers using various friction drive and magnetic drive options. He then looks at other design considerations such as Centre of Gravity, Steering and ‘Descender’ climbers.

This is a must-attend for anyone interested in the mechanics of the future of space launchings.
