Looks to me that a Lofstrom launch loop might be a completely natural fit for launching SPS systems. It's a high throughput launch system, equatorial and so...
Keith Loftstrom's visionary concept of his Launch Loop might well deserve a re-visit, even though it's capability would only electrically lift a rocket...
... The Lofstrom loop concept is capable of injecting payloads directly into GTO (geosynchronous transfer orbit), and a relatively small kick motor can ...
... As I understand it, the current idea behind the Lofstrom loop is that it accelerates the payload by it being magnetically dragged by the loop which is...
