Description

Since the key concept of the space elevator first appeared, tethered space systems have generated much curiosity and interest.

Modern-day developments in engineering technology and changes in the space environment have made these technologies a not-so distant reality, although not without the need for further research to be carried out.



Dynamics of Tethered Satellites and Space Elevators aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on the subject.

Written by two widely recognized experts in the field, the book starts with a brief history of tethered space systems, their potential applications, and a description of past and current space tether missions.

This is followed by an in-depth investigation into various aspects of the dynamics and control of rigid and flexible single-tether space systems, tether propulsion, and multi-tether satellite systems.

The use of tethers to remove space debris is discussed next alongside other sustainability-related considerations, which make the content all the more relevant in view of the present global pressures that stakeholders in the space sector face.

A whole section of chapters on the dynamics of partial and full space elevators concludes the volume.
