Abstract New super strong materials discovered at the end of the 20th century have caused a surge of activity in work devoted to the space elevator (SE). A rather complete concept of the SE has been formulated. This concept, having many advantages, possesses, nevertheless, limited capabilities and insufficient reliability. In this paper we present a modified space elevator concept [1] that has higher reliability and extended capabilities. Such a construction is more complicated and its design is more expensive, so it can be realized only as a part of a large-scale space program. Inclusion of a space elevator in such a program will facilitate development of new technologies.
