LiftPort Research

LiftPort Research's professional staff is actively performing Space Elevator Research in the fields of physics, material science, law, finance, and others.

LiftPort Questions Database

The sheer volume of information that is still unknown for a project as monumental and groundbreaking as is the LiftPort Space Elevator is going to require much more research than any one organization can tackle. As Michael Laine, founder and president of LiftPort is fond of saying, "We don't even have all the questions yet - let alone all the answers."

In order to develop and catalog those questions LiftPort Research has developed the LiftPort Space Elevator Questions Database. This database is not only used by our research department, but by universities worldwide who are studying varying aspects of the space elevator.
