Abstract
The space elevator was first proposed in the 1960s as a method of getting into space. The actual concept of the space elevator system includes a tether reaching from the surface of the Earth to the geostationary orbit, and the machine, called climber, is attached to the tether which carries the payload up to the space station or to the satellite. But actually, the system includes some unclear point. We compared climber's performance between screws and springs on pushing mechanism, and made demonstration experiment to automatize prove wire damage by climber.
