In this design challenge, students are asked to study and assess the feasibility of building and deploying an elevator system that would carry cargo and people into space without the use of rockets. Specifically, the students will investigate the properties of tethered bodies in terms of linear and angular velocity, mass, gravity, and mechanical energy and momentum.
