CHALLENGE: The space industry is expanding, but rockets alone can't build our future in orbit. A new form of transport is needed to move massive amounts of material efficiently and create a true Earth-space economy.
SOLUTION: The space elevator, an entirely new way to access space. Imagine a cable stretching 100,000 km into space. We can then climb up and down this “highway to space”. It offers a clean, reliable, and affordable path to orbit, no rockets required.
OPPORTUNITY: World Space Elevator Competitions (WSPEC) is a global non-profit accelerating the breakthroughs needed to make this a reality. We challenge you to help build this future.

Gain real-world experience and get scouted by the space industry. Our competitions are a launchpad for a top career or your own startup. Our current competitions focus on two key areas:
Tether Climber Competition: Build robotic climbers that ascend a vertical tether while carrying a payload.
Power Beaming Competition: Create systems to wirelessly transmit power.

Join WSPEC Virtual Workshop on October 25 at 15:00 GMT+8 to learn more about the space elevator, the competitions, and how you can get involved in one of the world's most ambitious engineering challenges:
