The '''Quito Space Tether''' is a [[space elevator]] located in [[Quito]], [[Earth]]. As such, it is [[Centennial Orbital Elevator|the second known]] space elevator in [[South America|Latin America]] and one of six elevators on Earth. | The '''Quito Space Tether''' is a [[space elevator]] located in [[Quito]], [[Earth]].

The [[Quito Terminus|orbital station]] on top of the tether had at least four gates leading to terminals from which passengers or cargo could be ferried to other UNSC-controlled worlds. During 2552, transports led to remaining UNSC worlds such as [[Gilgamesh]] and [[Ballast]], and one to other planets in the [[Sol System]]. One flight, to [[Charybdis IX]], had been indefinitely delayed, due to the planet's [[Battle of Charybdis IX|loss]] 17 years earlier. | The [[Quito Terminus|orbital station]] on top of the tether had at least four gates leading to terminals from which passengers or cargo could be ferried to other UNSC-controlled worlds.
