Documention/Research Notes

November 7, 2018

Documentation

This the design documentation for the Space Elevator program that I have produced i C. I have broken it down into it’s five functions starting with ‘Main()’.

It was originally wrote in Nov ’18 to include only 2 variable and amended in ______ to include the remaining variables needed.

Main

Tallies the other inputs.

TetherLength

Takes into account wether a LEO is used and wether the tether goes to the ground or a skyport.

TensileStrength

Factors in the tensile strength of the tethers material.

Research

While extensive, is summarized here and also referenced for a further study of any aspect of this project.

Any inherent flaws in the research material that could have resulted in a built in error in the programs code,  should be highlighted to the developer with relevant arguments and will result in a gratefully accepted modification and credit in the programming.
