Space station

Space elevator is a structure designed to send the material from the surface of the earth into space. Many proposals have been proposed and involves travel through the structure and not by using rockets. The concept often refers to the structure that reaches geostationary orbit from the earth's surface.

Space elevator concept originated from the idea of a Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, who in 1985 proposed a compression structure, or the so-called Tsiolkovsky tower.

Space elevator is also sometimes called a space elevator, space bridges, stairs to the outer space, orbital towers, or orbital elevators.

Technology is not currently able to create a strong structure but also light to outer space elevator. This is because the total mass for the construction using conventional materials is too large. The concept of the latest plan from outer space elevator manufacturing is the use of carbon protuberant-based materials. It is known that the strength of carbon Mano-material tube in a microscopic scale is very strong when compared with other materials that have been there so could theoretically be used for the manufacture of outer space elevator. New materials can be used in the manufacture of elevator to another place in the solar system, like Mars, which has a weaker gravity than Earth. [1
