DescriptionSpace elevator cross section for Lc of 6377 km 01.svg
English: Calculated from exp(r0/Lc(1+x/2-r0/r-x/2*r^2/r0^2)). The area under the curve gives the ratio of the mass of the cable to the mass that can be supported by the cable at the earth's surface.
The factual accuracy of this description or the file name is disputed.
