Abstract

Motivated by the Space Elevator concept, several alternate space transportation systems are studied. Details, such as the structure, transporting capacity, and stability of the systems are explored. Further study shows that despite the difference in their structure, these transportation systems are all applications for the impulse force supporting technique. Moreover, we can show that the centrifugal force and the impulse force are merely two aspects of one kind of supporting force, each 1 of which can be used for different purposes.
