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

Investigation of the characteristics of the vibration and elastic wave propagation in the ultra-
large ultra-flexible damping spatial structures is the precondition for the active control of the …

The evolution of the attitude angle and the mechanical energy exchange between the bus
system and the solar sail via the connecting wires are the main manifestations of the …

In this paper, a flexible tether-net system is applied to capture the space debris and a
numerical framework is established to explore its nonlinear dynamic behaviors, which …

The increasing number of man-made objects in near-earth space is becoming a serious
problem for future space missions around the Earth. Among the proposed strategies to face …

The paper is devoted to the investigation of the possibility of constructing a double
pendulum fixed at the L1 libration point in the framework of the planar circular restricted …

This paper studies the dynamics of a tether transportation system by the nodal position finite
element method in the framework of an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian description. Material …

The paper focuses on the study and development of a mission to use the L1 libration point
for deployment of a tether system in the direction of a moon in the planar elliptic restricted …

This paper proposes a novel adaptive sliding mode tension control method for the
deployment of tethered satellite, where the input tension limitation is taken into account. The …

This paper studies the dynamics and libration suppression of a tethered system with a
moving climber in circular orbits. The tethered system is modeled by a two-piece dumbbell …
