Incremental Development Path1. TORQUE Experiment– Demonstrate Momentum-Exchange & Electrodynamic Reboost– Experiment Becomes Operational Facility for Microsat Deployment2. LEO GTO Tether Boost Facility– Initial Capability: 2,500 kg to GTO once per month– Modular Design: add additional components 5,000 kg, 7,500 kg…3. LEO Lunar Tether Transport System– LEO GTO Facility Can also Send Payloads to Moon– Add Lunavator to Enable Round-Trip Transport to Lunar Surface4. LEO Mars Tether Transport– Tether Boost Facility Places Mars Payloads in Highly Elliptical Orbit– Use Rocket for Trans-Mars Injection & Mars Capture– Deploy Tether at Mars to Enable Round-Trip Transport Without Rockets• Each Stage Generates Revenue to Fund Development ofLater StagesTUI/MMOSTT 10
LEOGTO Tether Boost Facility• Designed to Boost 2,500 kg payloads from LEO to GTO - Total ∆V = 2.4 km/s• Operational Capability Can be Placed in LEO with One Delta-IV-H LaunchTether Mass: 8,275 kgGrapple Assembly: 650 kgControl Station Mass:11,500 kgTotal Launch Mass:20,500 kg+ Delta-IV Upper Stage for Ballast: 3,490 kg• Facility Can also Toss 500 kg payloads to Lunar Transfer Orbit• Uses Electrodynamic Reboost to Enable Facility to Boost 1 Payload Per MonthTUI/MMOSTT 11
