Scientists in Japan are aiming to one day build an elevator that can carry people and cargo in to orbit. The idea of building a space elevator to bypass the need for expensive rocket launches is something that has been mulled over by scientists and engineers for years.While the idea itself certainly has merit, finding a material capable of sustaining such an enormous structure has long proven to be a problem – as has developing a way to construct something that would ultimately need to be tens of thousands of miles high.
Now in a renewed bid to turn this idea into reality, scientists at Japan’s Shizuoka University have been working with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to launch a trial mission that will see a miniature payload being transported between two cubesats. This small-scale demonstration of a space elevator concept, which will go ahead next week, will involve a cable only ten meters long and an ‘elevator’ a mere 6 centimeters long.
If the test works however it will show that the idea of a space elevator really does have potential.
“It’s going to be the world’s first experiment to test elevator movement in space,” said a spokesman.
