Kurzfassung englisch:
Skytowers are old futuristic concepts of space elevation
where a space station on a geo-stationary orbit is connected
by a tether with the surface of the earth. Nowadays due to carbon
strings, sufficiently light and strong tethers should allow a
practical realization. However, the stability of the relative
equilibrium of the system is an open question. Using amended potentials we investigate the orbital stability of the straight configuration for stress-optimized tapered tethers.
