Method Of Traveling To Earth's Orbit Using Lighter Than Air Vehicles
US Patent:
7614586, Nov 10, 2009
Filed:
Mar 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/372525
Inventors:
John Marchel Powell - Rancho Cordova CA, US
International Classification:
B64G 1/00
US Classification:
2441583
Abstract:
A method for transporting people and cargo from the surface of the Earth to orbit around the Earth is disclosed. The present invention uses a series of lighter-than-air vehicles to allow for a far safer and less strenuous trip to orbit than using current rocket-based technology. The high altitude atmospheric airship is flown from the ground to the upper atmosphere, where it docks with the buoyant transfer station, and from there, the people and cargo transfer to an orbital airship for the remainder of the trip to orbit. The orbital airship returns to the station for another transfer back to the atmospheric airship for the return back to the surface of Earth.
