Neraketna izstrelitev v vesolje
Neraketna izstrelitev v vesolje (angleško non-rocket space launch – NRS) je način izstreljevanja tovora in ljudi v vesoljski prostor brez uporabe konvencionalnih raket ali pa samo z njihovo delno uporabo. Glavni cilj je zmanjšanje stroškov transporta v vesoljski prostor. NRS bi lahko omogočil projekte, kot so kolonizacija vesolja, rudarjenje asteroidov, vesoljske sončne elektrarne in druge projekte, ki s trenutno tehnologijo niso možni.
Obstaja več konceptov npr. vesoljsko dvigalo, vesoljska fontana, skyhook, orbitalni obroč, vesoljski top in več drugih.
Trenutno so edina možnost rakete s ceno približno 10000 $ do 25000 $ na kilogram tovora. Rakete so zanesljive v približno 97 % primerih. V nekaterih primerih npr. raketoplan Space Shutlle se je dalo nekatere komponentne večkrat uporabiti, vendar je bila cena izstrelitve še vedno visoka.
