What are we about?

Purpose

Deliver into space 10X the payload, at 10x the launch frequency at 1/10th the cost by developing an innovative space transport system

Problem

Current rocket methods cannot meet payload capacity, launch frequency, or costs of a rapidly growing space economy

Solution

A game-changing access to and from space that significantly exceeds current or future transportation requirements for the space economy

Opportunity

Dominate the $10 Trillion space transportation market

The Space Transportation Problem

Rockets

“Current space transportation methods cannot meet the necessary frequency, payloads, volume, or costs to meet the future demands of the space economy.”

Payload

Rocket-based payloads account for less than 4% of launch mass.

Space Railway payload will be over 70% of mass

Frequency

The colonization of Mars will take 60,000 SpaceX rocket flights and over 1000 years to realize.

Space Railway can do it in 10 years

Costs

Current rocket payload costs average $1500 to $2000/kg.

Space Railway can reduce payload costs by 900%

The Solution

Tethered Access
to Space

Performance

10x the payload

10x the frequency

1/10th the cost

The only legitimate large-scale return to Earth payload capability

Demands

Capable of meeting future orbital operations, servicing, habitat, mining, or interplanetary colonization requirements
