Our Vision

Our vision is to take passengers out of

congestion, placing them 30m in the air-

forever revolutionising transport.

‘Traffic congestion will cost the Australian economy

$53 billion by 2031’

‘Cars release around 333 million tons of carbon

dioxide into the air annually.’

Our Product

The EDL is a figure-eight

loop rail system

suspended in the air.

The Global Warming Solution● Global warming is the long-term rise in the average temperature of

the Earth's climate system

● Increase in natural disasters and extreme weather

● EST’s solar sails can dim the sun’s heat on Earth

Space Debris● Number of satellites in space: 5000

● Number of these still functioning: 1950

● Number of debris objects regularly tracked by Space

Surveillance Networks and maintained in their

catalogue: 22 300

● Estimated number of break-ups, explosions,

collisions, or anomalous events resulting in

fragmentation: More than 500

● Total mass of all space objects in Earth orbit: More

than 8400 tonnes

Products and Services● Take space travel into a sustainable future

● Cater for Government, private and individual travel needs

● Provide a safe method to retrieve space junk from orbit

● Eliminate costly, high risk, unsustainable rockets

● Provide greater access to the space travel industry for all

● Reduce Global Warming

Technology● Graphene Tether

● 36.5 Megawatt superconducting motor

● Latest solar panels and batteries

● Space station software

Sustainability● Eliminate space junk and debris

● Satellite launching and recycling

● Solar powered in space

● Renewable energy source

EST Investors

● World Governments

● Aerospace Companies

● Airplane Producers

● Space Agencies

● Universities
