VINCENT CATE

We are working on an initial design we call CateCATS1. From this we will try to estimate time for rollout and costs. An initial tether project could be using a lunar tether to pickup regolith and return to Earth for fun and profit. We also have a list of Future space projects that might become reasonable once launch costs are reduced. Used throughout these web pages are some bibliographic references... We are working on a space tether simulator that anyone can use for free. This simulator can also be used as a "projectile simulator", "rocket simulator", "drag simulator", "reentry simulator", "meteor simulator", "solar sail simulator", or general "space simulator" for looking at atmospheric drag and heating on projectiles or rockets. You may need to install the newest versions of the Java JRE for the applets to run right. You can also get a new Netscape or a new Internet Explorer.
