Abstract
The Space Elevator is a space transportation system that is a radical departure from rocket-based space travel. Contrary to our first intuition, it is actually possible to construct a physical "track to space", such that leaving the planet will involve riding out rather than rocketing out. Building the space elevator system takes two steps - laying the track, and running the climbing mechanism. In this report, the deformation and vibration of the climbing cable and the dynamic response of the climbing mechanism was analyzed and investigating to reduce the vibration of the climbing cable and appropriate climbing mechanism.
