Abstract: The goal is to create a feasible scenario using current or near future technology for the design, deployment and operation of a space elevator.To create a proposal for the first space elevator, computer simulations, engineering designs, literature studies and the use of existing programs are utilized.The findings of this project demonstrate a practical concept for the development of the first space elevator, using existing and near-term technologies.An efficient space elevator will require selectable gravity rates for larger and much longer term biological space studies.This system's high capacity and low operating costs would also allow for inexpensive life searches in our solar system and the first environmental engineering tests.The lack of atmosphere on the Moon, the thermal fatigue life of the lunar space elevator is smaller than that of the Earth-to-space and Marsto space elevators.This contribution will help with the selection of appropriate materials for the space elevator system to build and install the space elevators with greater safety against thermal fatigue failures
