The Space Elevator is a space capsule used by John Tracy to travel between Thunderbird 5 and Tracy Island. On Thunderbird 5, the elevator is docked on the bottom of the space station, and when it lands on Tracy Island, it does so on its own launch bay beside Thunderbird 1, using a claw on the bottom of it to lock itself into place. Since Thunderbird 5 is 22,400 miles above Tracy Island, the cable will be near the same length. Due to the bottom-mounted claw and the extreme length of the cable, the Space Elevator occasionally comes in handy during rescue missions.
