Space Elevator Survivability Space Debris Mitigation

The International Space Elevator Consortium has created this position paper as a recognition that the space debris problem is an engineering one and can be mitigate. The question: "Will space debris be a show stopper for space elevators?" is answered emphatically - NO! The mitigation concepts presented change the issue from a perceived problem to an engineering concern; but, by no means is it a significant threat. This pamphlet illustrates how the development office for a future space elevator can attack this problem, predict probabilities of collision, and convert the concern into another manageable engineering problem. 9781329093928 1329093925 73 BOOK Technology & Engineering http://books.google.com/books/content?id=NmDUDgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api http://books.google.com/books/content?id=NmDUDgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en 9781329093928
