Tether-Assisted Spacelaunch Systems
Aim
Space advancement and exploration is impeded by the difficulties and expenses imposed by traditional rocket spacelaunch systems. In order to travel sustainably and to significantly reduce the cost of access to low earth orbit and beyond, a radical innovation in spacelaunch technology is required.
We have set our sights on a momentum exchange launch system via tensile structures that will assist spacecrafts and payloads on their way to space, otherwise known as a "skyhook" or "tether-assisted" launch system. Additionally, such a system would make resource mining of other astronomical bodies more achievable through lower cost of access to space.
We are a research group working on the mechanics of a skyhook structure. We are developing specific scientific models to bring the project one step closer to reality. Besides conducting feasibility studies, our group’s aim is connecting and expanding.
IAO acts as a networking platform for aerospace-oriented individuals interested in the research and development of tether-assisted spacelaunch systems.
IAO plans to connect passionate researchers through events and meetings, which aim to foster a collaboration on a professional level.
IAO is a company in the making, seeking to attract investors and grants for further expansion.
