Japan will start space lift (space elevator) experiments next week
Tokyo … News Time
The space elevator concept is more than 100 years old to access space. Now Japan has started working very seriously. Shizuoka University and the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) will perform experimentations of a very small model of space lift next week. This is a simple and easy experience, with 6 cm long, 3 cm wide and a height can be tied with a 10 meter wire. This wire will be connected to two small mini satellites and the dish will move during which specialists will be very careful.
Shizuoka University spokesman said that although it will begin construction in 2050 but this will be the first experience of the preparation of space lift across the world, which is starting Japan. Russian scientists Konstantin Tsiolkovsky presented the concept of space elevator in 1895 and for the last 100 years, various experts have worked on it. The concept of such a lightweight and strong wire was presented one of which is connected to the ground and is connected to a small rock or a satellite in the second space and low-speed vehicles on this cable can be up and down like an elevator. Thus access to space will be very easy.
Obayashi, a Japanese construction firm, has also been interested in meeting with the other institutions to reach the space ladder to a solid phase by 2050. However, Obayashi has admitted that there is no appropriate technology right now but their plan is to keep the concept of space lift closer to reality. A space port will be made on the ground under the project which will tie the cable made of 96 thousand kilometers long carbon-carbon nanotubes. At the end of it we have a minimum of 12,500 tons of weight or satellite tied. In this way, the wire will remain straight in the same way as the rotation of the earth, the way the wires are straightforward. Although this is a very difficult task, Japanese experts believe that they will get a lot of economic benefits. At the time, one kilogram of goods are spent in the middle of the world, spend 10 to 40 thousand dollars while spending space will be just $ 100 through space indoor. In spite of words, space travel and tourism will come from another space lift.
