Space Tethers

Space tethers is a research field investigating the design, dynamics, and applications of long, slender structures deployed in space to connect two or more objects. This academic concept explores the physical principles governing tether behavior, including orbital mechanics, structural integrity, and electrodynamic interactions, and its significance lies in potential applications for propulsion, orbital transfer, power generation, and debris removal in the space environment.
