Aside from the foundation of our project, the space habitat, we have numerous other technologies relating to the development of outer space. Here is a list of some technologies we have pursued in our decades of research and development.
- The space habitat - initially designed to house about 1000 people, our current revision could accommodate several million inhabitants.
- Asteroid mining - our fully automated asteroid mining system is designed to extract raw materials from asteroids and produce structural steel and numerous other materials for use in space development.
- Reusable launch vehicle - we have done a great deal of conceptual development into reusable LV's and strategies to reduce launch costs.
- Space robotic assembly - our designs for automated assembly systems could handle virtually any space based construction project, big or small.
- Liquid salt reactor - Our enormous power requirements for our space mining as well as for the habitat require a high density power source. Thorium based nuclear power is one option currently being implemented in our designs.
- Dual stage 4 grid Ion thrusters - this is perhaps the most promising long range engine currently tested and has demonstrated specific impulse in excess of 20,000s. We are currently looking at improvements that could further enhance this performance.
