Space tethers are long cables which can be used for propulsion, momentum exchange, stabilization and attitude control, or maintaining the relative positions...

number of space tethers have been deployed in space missions. Tether satellites can be used for various purposes including research into tether propulsion...

A skyhook is a proposed momentum exchange tether that aims to reduce the cost of placing payloads into low Earth orbit. A heavy orbiting station is connected...

component would be a cable (also called a tether) anchored to the surface and extending into space. An Earth-based space elevator would consist of a cable with...

exchange tether is a kind of space tether that could theoretically be used as a launch system, or to change spacecraft orbits. Momentum exchange tethers create...

cables (known as tethers) to lift a payload into space. Tethers can also be used for changing orbit once in space. Orbital tethers can be tidally locked...
