On the control of Tethered Satellite Systems
32nd Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference, 1991Abstract A mathematical model is proposed for studying the dynamics of the Tethered Satellite System (TSS) consisting of a plate-type space station from which a tether supported subsatellite is deployed or retrieved. The rigid body dynamics of the tether, subsatellite and space station are analyzed accounting for the mass of the tether as well as a ...

Tether satellite system collision study
Acta Astronautica, 1999A study was performed to determine the probability of collision with resident space objects and untrackable debris for the tether component of the Tethered Satellite System (TSS) after it broke away from the Space Shuttle orbiter (mission STS-75) in February 1996.

An Efficient Model of Tethers for Tethered Satellite Systems
Advances in Astronautics Science and Technology, 2018This paper concerns about modeling of tethered satellites systems (TSS). In this paper, tethers of TSS are modeled as chains of elastic rods connected by rigid joints. A group of spatial vectors are used to describe displacement, orientation and deformation of the rods, which can avoid the coupling of trigonometric functions of Euler angles.

Three-dimensional vibrations of tethered satellite systems
Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 1991The three-dimensional free vibrations of an orbiter-towed tethered satellite system with nominally vertical tether during stationkeeping phase are studied analytically. The tether is modeled as an elastic continuum with mass and the orbiter and the subsatellite as two concentrated masses.

Detection of Tethered Satellite Systems
The Journal of the Astronautical Sciences, 2004The detection and identification of tethered satellite systems is a problem of current interest. Most previous studies focused on the detection and identification of one tethered satellite system using the observations of one satellite in the system. Here, we consider the problem of determining which of two or more satellites that are observed to be in

Identification and orbit determination of a tethered satellite system
Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2001Orbital motion of a tethered satellite system, composed of two satellites and an inextensible tether, is considered by using a perturbed two-body model. This approach is adopted so that the determination of the orbit of one of the satellites can be attempted without using observations of the motion of the other satellite in the system.

Aerogravity-Assist Maneuvering of a Tethered Satellite System
Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 2004Two new implementations of a tethered satellite system to provide aeroassist during a planetary flyby are investigated. In each mission scenario the interaction of the Martian atmosphere with an aerodynamic lifting surface, which is tethered to an orbiter, is used to perturb the flight path of the system. The aerodynamic forces generated by interacting

T following three papers on tethered satellite systems grew out of session 110 of the AIAA 26th Aerospace Sciences Meeting, held in Reno, Nevada, in January 1988. Interest in such systems, which goes back several years, has been evinced by NASA, various Italian space research activities, and, most recently, by the Japanese. While no tethered spacecraft

Modeling and Simulation of Flexible Tethered Satellite System
2018 15th International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Computing Science and Automatic Control (CCE), 2018This paper presents the dynamic equations of a flexible tethered satellite system in a circular orbit. The tether is modelled as a combination of point masses connected with massless rods. Through this model the flexibility and distributed mass of tether are considered.
