ISEC focuses on the global communication of the concept of space elevators.  We believe that the Earth Space Elevator is ready for Engineering Development, facilitated by the rapid ongoing development of the candidate material (single crystal graphene) for the construction of a 100,000 km tether.  

The mission statement : "ISEC promotes the development, construction and operation of a space elevator as a revolutionary and efficient way to space for all humanity"

Our vision: "Space Elevators are the Green Road to Space while they enable humanity's most important missions by moving massive tonnage to GEO and beyond. They accomplish this safely, routinely, inexpensively, and daily; they are environmentally neutral"

ISEC's plan of action is based upon yearly themes and studies, with an annual Conference.  The latest study addresses the Tether/Climber Interface, published earlier in 2023 : see the website for details of all other studies.

Note : we have no connection with companies calling themselves 'Space Elevator' or 'Space Elevator Foundation' on LinkedIn.
