The International Space Elevator Consortium invites the submission of abstracts for papers to be presented at its 2024 conference in Chicago in September. Papers should cover space elevator topics including design, dynamics, applications, scientific value and economic impact.
Abstracts should be between 200 and 400 words in length and describe briefly the contents of the proposed paper and its importance to the development of space elevators. Abstracts must be in pdf format and submitted to the review board chairman before May 31, 2024:
Dennis Wright (dennis.wright@isec.org)
Authors will be notified of abstract acceptance by 15 June, at which point they will be invited to submit a paper on the topic and make a 20 minute oral presentation at the conference. Authors may opt for a 10 minute oral presentation which does not require an accompanying paper. All oral presentation materials, such as ppt or pdf slides must be submitted before the conference. Papers should be a minimum of 2000 words in length, including supporting figures, and will be considered for publication either in the ISEC conference proceedings or other journal.
