Rational ways of transportation are there for us not only on Earth but possibly also in space, researchers now are seeking to find more or less “green” options even for the delivery of goods into space.
Russian scientists have proposed launching cargo to Mars via huge cables stretching from Phobos or Deimos. An innovative step is, in fact, means to say ” no ” with rockets, operating on chemical fuel, according to published in the Russian scientific research journal.
Researchers predict that by mid-twenty-first century, we will have the appropriate technology to build a space Elevator to link the Earth to our moon. They claim that it will be possible to connect Mars and its satellites.
“We believe it is more realistic to operate a cable system to send manned spacecraft to space from Mars, without any rocket propulsion,” the magazine reads.
In particular, scientists say that there are two ways to deliver cargo from the surface of Mars. The first option assumes that the spacecraft starts from the surface and Dock with the end of the cable, moving at a speed of about 2 kilometers per second.
In a second embodiment, the cable will automatically capture the cargo from the surface of the red planet due to the extremely accurate assessment of dock launch location. Cargo will be attached to the cable loop hanging from the masts. He first reaches for the noose, and then pull the cable “hangs” from Phobos or Deimos with a special device.
