Ever since the space tether was first proposed by Tsiolkovsky, it has been extensively
utilized in space missions, for attitude stabilization, momentum exchange, and space …

The concept of tethered satellite system (TSS) promises to revolutionize many aspects of
space exploration and exploitation. It provides not only numerous possible and valuable …

Tethered satellite systems (TSSs) have attracted significant attention due to their potential
and valuable applications for scientific research. With the development of various launched …

This paper analyzes the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a three-body tethered satellite
system undergoing deployment and retrieval, considering a variable orbital radius for the …

This paper presents a dynamic analysis of a tethered satellite system with a moving mass. A
dynamic model with four degrees of freedom, ie, a two-piece dumbbell model, is established …

This paper provides a structural evaluation for electrodynamic tape tethers that can resist
collisions with small items of space debris. To actively remove space debris such as defunct …

At present, the neglect of deployment friction could lead to a significant deviation in the
numerical results from the real deployment dynamic characteristics of the nonconductive …

Electrodynamic tethers are used to remove large uncontrollable satellites from low Earth
orbits. However, tether systems are vulnerable to collisions with space debris orbiting at high …

The state estimation of tethered satellite formations (TSF) faces challenges due to complex
soft constraints (eg, the tether constraints) and limited payload capability. This paper …

This study focuses on spatial motion of the lunar elevator which is studied in the framework
of elliptical restricted three-body problem. Analysis of dynamics of a spacecraft anchored to …
