Analysis of the Motion of a Tether-Perturbed Satellite [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2003 The motion of each satellite in a tethered satellite system is non-Keplerian in the Earth's gravitational field. In this paper, the tether perturbation force is formulated and compared with the perturbation force due to the Earth's oblateness.

A Unification of Models of Tethered Satellites [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2011 In this paper, different conservative models of tethered satellites are related mathematically, and it is established in what limit they may provide useful insight into the underlying dynamics. An infinite dimensional model is linked to a finite dimensional model, the slack-spring model, through a conjecture on the singular perturbation of tether ...

Application of Hamilton Principle in the control of Tethered Satellite System Pendular Motion [PDF]
INCAS Bulletin, 2018 The control of a tethered satellite system pendular motion is done by application of Hamiltonian equation of motion on a control design method known as planar H tracking. In this case, the reference motion is considered a natural planar motion.
