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

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

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 ...

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.

Shuttle tethered satellite system development program
Space Systems Technology Conference, 1984This paper contains an overview of the Shuttle Orbiter-based Tethered Satellite System which is being jointly developed by the United States of America and Italy. Operation of the system is described including interfaces with the orbiter and crew, and with the Johnson Space Center Mission Control Center and Payload Operations Control Center.

Coordinated control of tethered satellite cluster systems
AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference and Exhibit, 2001We propose the concept of Tethered Satellite Cluster Systems. The system consists of the satellites connected by tethers, and keeps and changes the formation with active tension/length control of the tether. The purpose of the system is the saving of the thruster fuel required for the coordinated mission and the improvement of the control precision ...

Current collection model on tether satellite system
28th Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 1990Results are reported from numerical simulations of current collection by a tethered satellite moving in the earth magnetic field. The focus is on the instruments of the Research on Orbital Plasma Electrodynamics (ROPE) experiment planned for the TSS-1 mission (scheduled launch 1991).

Estimation and control of tethered satellite systems
Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 1995This paper describes the analysis of a tethered system during the station-keeping phase. The system is composed of two small satellites connected by a long tether. The satellites are modeled as particles, and the tether is represented by eight rigid, massive rods. The angles between adjacent elements can vary with time.

Gravity Gradiometry from the Tethered Satellite System
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1985Measurement of the gradient of the gravitational acceleration from a satellite platform is likely to provide the next improvement in knowledge of the Earth's gravity field after the upcoming Geopotential Research Mission (GRM). Observations from the subsatellite of a Tethered Satellite System (TSS) would increase sensitivity and resolution due to the ...
