Effects of Separation Strategy on Deployment of Multitethered Chain-Type Satellite System

This paper investigates the effects of separation strategy and parameters related to deployment on the dynamic behavior of multitethered chain-type satellite system. The system, including several satellites connected by tethers which are considered as massless and straight, is modeled as an extensio...
