Motorised momentum exchange space tethers: the dynamics of asymmetrical tethers, and some recent new applications

This paper reports on a first attempt to model the dynamics of an asymmetrical motorised momentum exchange tether for spacecraft payload propulsion, and it also provides some interesting summary results for two novel applications for motorised momentum exchange tethers. The asymmetrical tether analy...
