A space elevator is a proposed structure designed to transport material from a celestial body’s surface into space. The concept of a space elevator dates back to 1895 when Konstantin Tsiolkovsky[1] proposed a free-standing “Tsiolkovsky” tower reaching from the surface of Earth to geostationary orbit. Most recent discussions focus ontensile structures (specifically, tethers ) reaching from geostationary orbit to the ground. Spaceelevators have also sometimes been referred to as beanstalks, space bridges, space lifts, space ladders, skyhooks, orbital towers, or orbital elevators.

January 2nd, 2010Space Technology in Modern World
December 24th, 2009The vast majority of satellites are launched into space to provide services to people on Earth. Space exploration is the use of astronomy and space technology to explore outer space. Physical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights and by robotic spacecraft. Space Shuttle Discovery (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-103) is one of the three currently operational orbiters in the Space Shuttle fleet of NASA, the space agency of the United States. Discovery has performed both research and International Space Station (ISS) assembly missions.
Space technology is technology that is related to entering space, maintaining and using systems during spaceflight and returning people and things from space.
Space- How Space Was Created
December 20th, 2009We know that space is the distance between tow objects. It is true for outer space that lies between tow stars. This space is three-dimensional. Was this space there since eternity? Who created the space? If no object is left in the cosmos what would happen to the space? How Space Was Created? As the mass and energy exploded out space was created. What lies beyond this space? Is there another cosmos/universe or more space? According to Einstein one can never reach the edge of the space. This distance is unimaginable.
