Two big dreams in space will come true

Hironori Fujii

Abstract

Two big projects in space, let call them dreams, are introduced in this paper, including the space solar power satellites and the space elevator. These two projects have been the subject of Science Fiction only 10 years ago but are now the objects of space projects due to great deals of advancement in space technology of recent years. The space solar power satellite will have dimensions of 3~4 km and the space elevator 100,000km. Space tether technology is one of the advanced space technologies and these two big projects owe much their realization on space tether technology. The present paper introduces some topics of these two projects. The paper also introduces a recent space experiment project on tether technology which is a step to realize these two big projects.
