Dynamics of Tethered Space Systems

by Hans Troger, A.P. Alpatov, V.V. Beletsky, V.I. Dranovskii, V.S. Khoroshilov

Overview

During many of the earliest American and Russian space missions, experiments were performed using cables to connect people and objects to spacecraft in orbit. These attempts generated considerable information about the formation of tethered systems and basic problems with tether orientation and gravity-gradient stabilization. During the 1970s, inte
