During many of the earliest American and Russian space missions,
experiments were performed using cables to connect people and
objects to spacecraft in orbit. These attempts generated
considerable information about the formation of tethered systems
and basic problems with tether orientation and gravity-gradient
stabilization. During the 1970s, interest in tethered space systems
(TSS) came to the forefront with an international project that
involved the hanging of a probe from a low-orbit satellite to
collect data on the Earth and its atmosphere. Since that time, TSS
has grown to become its own area of research. Dynamics of Tethered
Space Systems brings together the work of seven leading researchers
working at the forefront of TSS. Together, they provide a brief yet
thorough introduction to TSS. Then, combining theory with
experimental approaches important to industry, they cover the
dynamics of the mechanical, physical, and mathematical modeling
approaches involved in tethered satellite deployment. They present
several models from the literature, focusing on the simplest but
most important system: two satellites in orbit around the Earth.
Discussion then expands to cover more complex examples. Along the
way, the authors consider a number of important topics, such as
energy production resulting from interaction between the system and
Earth's magnetic field and momentum transfer in relation to
satellites, microgravity laboratories, and futuristic applications
such as the space elevator. They also look at a number of
challenges, including those with deployment and energy dissipation.
Providing approaches to theoretical models and experimental
methods, the text includes a wealth of essential equations and
detailed analyses of forces acting on tethered objects in motion.
It provides both a starting point for further research and the
tools needed to apply that research to the applications of
tomorrow.
