A system and method for the initial deployment of a space elevator using a tether, doubly spooled from each end, an inertial mass, beacon satellite and positional thrusters, whereby tether is de-spooled from geosynchronous Earth orbit altitude, using gravity and centripetal force gradient, and timed such that when the tethers fully de-spool or near the point of being fully de-spooled, are released and the free ends, one left to fall inwards to Earth anchor point, and the other left to fall outwards to tether end ballast support point, result in an Earth anchored self supporting tension structure.
