Abstract

A collection of papers on the applications of tethers in space is presented. Tether flight experiments of the past, in planning stages, and in the future are examined. Tether dynamics and the applications and technical aspects of electrodynamic tethers are addressed. The use of tethers on the Space Station and applications in the Space Station era are considered. Individual tether technology issues, including tether materials and instrumentation for atmospheric measurements are discussed.
