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...

After midnight, a professor's body is found at the base of a tall campus building. As homicide detective "Park" Fealder and his rookie partner, Tamara Berbieri examine the facts, it looks less like a suicide and more like someone "helped" the professor fall from the locked-off balcony many stories above. The dead man, a scholar and researcher, had made enemies on and off campus, but which of them visited him on that fateful evening? In this story of greed and deception, Park and Tami must look past false leads and inter-twined lives to draw out and capture a clever and ruthless killer.

The study team took on the challenge of expanding the "body of knowledge" pertaining to the Apex and Geosynchronous elements of the Space Elevator. A special effort was made to describe the elements in the context of an entire Space Elevator. The report complements and expands earlier ISEC Space Elevator reports on the Climber, Operations Concept, Architectures & Roadmaps, and Earth Port. To do so, we have established; 1.A robust set of definitions within the Geosynchronous and Apex Regions, and 2.The Strategic Approach to Architectural Development of a Space Elevator
