==History==
== History ==
The Quito Space Tether was completed on January 14, [[2313]] and named on March 9, [[2401]].{{Ref/Reuse|orbital}}{{Ref/Site|Id=waypearth|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/earth|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Earth}}
The Quito Space Tether was completed on January 14th, 2313 and named on March 9th, 2401. By [[2552]], the tether and the city were still standing and seemingly undamaged.


Although it is unknown if the city was attacked by the [[Covenant]] during the [[Battle for Earth]] in late [[2552]], the tether was nevertheless amongst the four that survived the invasion.<ref name="defunctarticle">''[[Halo Waypoint]]'': "Space Elevator" article (Archived on [https://web.archive.org/web/20111007185941/http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/locations/gallery/space-tether/e9b2f438-9b5b-477e-8e52-d4e6801e9d5b Archive.org])</ref>
== Geography ==
The center of Quito is located about 25 km south of the equator, making it an ideal location for a Space Elevator. The elevation of the city center is 2,850 m, making Quito the second-highest administrative capital city on Earth.<ref name="quito"/>
