Launching a geostatic spacecraft using the Podkletnov effect

This posting describes a way to launch a geostatic spacecraft using the Podkletnov effect.
I recommend reading these links and papers firsts:

Now if we have, as Dr. Ning Li describes, a zero gravity zone upwards from a point on earth,
then we can use that to bring something, however heavy it may be, into orbit.
I figured the way to do this is as shown in this drawing:

This has a number of the devices as mentions by Ning Li grouped together to create a wide area,
bigger in circumference than the size of the space craft we want to launch, on a point on earth
just below where we want the geostatic spacecraft to be.
A laser guide beam points straight up, and sensors on the spacecraft use this to activate thrusters
to position it so it stays in the gravity free zone.

As we need more speed in the direction of the earth movement the higher we get, a bigger thruster
is used for forward propulsion.

It is important to notice that we have no time constraint, no need to get to the needed altitude
withing a short time, so many possible types of thrusting could be used.
And no weight constaint, other then more weight equals more inertia.


The atmosphere is no longer your enemy, it is your friend as it moves with the rotation of the earth.
So in the atmosphere no heating problems are to be expected.
The thrusters must be able to cope with atmospheric wind patterns though.

An emergency landing system can simply (above some altitude) be realized with parachutes.
the rocket equation no longer applies.
No multiple stages, just the spacecraft itself.

The spacecraft needs a small downwards pointed thruster to gain altitude, a bigger one perhaps
to gain forward speed, and small ones for positioning.
Once at the correct hight it will be in geostatic orbit, and both the device on earth
and the spacecraft's thrusters can be switched off, or it can use that orbit a a departure
orbit to the rest of space.
