The new method for sending the spacecrafts in deep space is presented here. The paper describes the long rod rotated by electro motor placed at the Space Elevator’s counterweight and at Lagrangian points. This simple structure will enable the rod to gain high velocity and carry the payload with it. After reaching the desired speed the rod will release the payload that will fly in space along the imaginary circle’s tangent. This structure we called Space Catapult and it should work with the assist of Space Elevator. This latter should be used for carrying the payload from the Earth to Space Catapult’s rod.
