Skyhook could launch satellites via elongated space tether
A Science report suggests self supporting cables miles long could be stretched from Earth to space to launch payloads or sustain observatories. The concept envisions a satellite anchored at the equator extending beyond synchronous orbit 22 300 miles high, powered by the central body's rotation. Skyhooks could also be placed above Mars or behind the Moon.
