- Skyhook_(structure) abstract "A skyhook is a proposed momentum exchange tether concept that aims to reduce the cost of placing payloads into space. Skyhooks are often confused with an Earth surface to geostationary orbit space elevator, but they are different. A skyhook is much shorter than a space elevator and does not reach down to the surface of the Earth. A skyhook requires a suborbital launch vehicle to get to the bottom end of the skyhook, a space elevator does not. Its promoter speculated in 1994 that the skyhook concept could be cost competitive with what is realistically thought to be achievable using a space elevator, but the skyhook is not competitive with other rotating tether concepts. In addition, the rotating skyhook is in fact deemed "not engineeringly feasible using presently available materials".Skyhooks come in two types: rotating and non-rotating. While no skyhook has been built so far, there have been a number of flight experiments exploring various aspects of the space tether concept in general.".
