GPV launch overpass

The launch overpass of the General Planetary Vehicle is a take-off and landing, power, and communication hub for geocosmic transportation, located along the equator and combined with new generayion eco settlement

Structure

The height of the launch overpass structure depends on the terrain it passes through

The equator of our planet crosses plains, mountains and oceans.

Each deviation from the horizontal level should be considered individually

The overpass’ surface is used for the GPV operations

  • Electric recharging

  • Cargo loading

  • Take-off

  • Landing

  • Unloading

  • Transfer of products

  • Transfer of space raw materials

  • Transfer of solar energy accumulated in space

  • Maintenance and repair

The main obstacles in the construction of the equatorial launching platform on land

East African Highlands

Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa

Andes

Mt. Chimborazo in South America

The overpass area also includes elements of the uNet network

Hypervelocity track in the forevacuum channel

Speed is up to 1500 km/h

High-speed track

Speed is 600 km/h

City highway

Speed is up to 150 km/h

Power lines

Communication lines

Location

Optimal placement of the launch overpass

Strictly along the equator

The main advantage of such location

The Earth’s equatorial plane will coincide with the plane of the GPV’s rotation. That will allow to fully use the planet’s rotation energy and thereby reduce the amount of electrical energy consumed for acceleration and launching the GPV into orbit

The GPV and the elements of the uSpaсe (factories, power stations, EcoCosmoHomes, etc.) will have non-overlapping orbits, without which it is impossible to ensure the safety of the geocosmic industry

Route length considering the topography

40 075 km

Overall length of the route

31 170 km

Along the water areas

8 905 km

Overland

The overpass is positioned on supports if built on land, and on pontoons while installed below the water surface

Construction of the GPV launch overpass

The overpass will be built gradually. Each kilometer that’s built will pay off, as high-speed land transport UST will allow to start the active development of sparsely populated areas and new lands

Equatorial Linear City

The Earth component of the geocosmic transport communication system where the GPV launch overpass (uWay) is positioned together with infrastructure necessary to perform the GPV flights and maintain global geocosmic cargo and passengers’ transportations

A powerful infrastructure where billions of people will be able to live

The Equatorial Linear City will be created simultaneously with the overpass construction.

Such cities are the cluster settlements harmoniously fit in natural environment of the planet’s land and ocean areas that are interconnected with each other by the UST routes and located on a line along the equator

Spatial organization of the Equatorial Linear City

It is built along transport communications that link infrastructure clusters in a chain. This provides quick access to industrial and public facilities serving as points of attraction. Residential buildings of the Equatorial Linear City are mainly represented by cottage developments, that allow to reduce population density and increase the level and quality of human life.

The basis of the project is the technology that will form the basis of Linear cities

The overpass and the GPV can be built by 2040

Humanity has resources to implement this ambitious project.

The construction of the GPV and the overpass along the equator will require about 100 million tons of metal (today the same amount of steel is smelted on the planet in less than 3 weeks) and about 10 million m³ of reinforced concrete (about the same amount of concrete was poured during the building of Sayano-Shushenskaya Dam alone)
