Subject: This Week in The Space Review - 2003 September 15
Welcome to this week's issue of The Space Review:
The space elevator: going up? (part 1)
--- The space elevator had long been dismissed as a science fiction concept perhaps centuries away from actually being built, but new studies suggest a space elevator could be built in the near future for a modest cost. The first in a two-part report on the prospects and challenges a space elevator faces. http://www.thespacereview.com/article/47/1 If you missed it, here's what we published last week: Spied satellites --- Small satellites have a great deal of potential but are still seeking a niche in the overall spacecraft market. Jeff Foust reports that a new application, the inspection and servicing of other spacecraft, could be the key to getting smallsats out of the lab and into orbit. http://www.thespacereview.com/article/46/1 Asteroids are probably a threat. Maybe? --- Another asteroid impact threat came and went last week. Fraser Cain wonders if the uncertainty surrounding impact predictions will prevent governments from taking the needed action to stop a real impact threat. http://www.thespacereview.com/article/45/1 We appreciate any feedback you may have about these articles as well as any other questions, comments, or suggestions about The Space Review.
