Lecture
Applications of Non-Electrodynamic Tether
Description
This lecture discusses the applications of a non-electrodynamic tether in space, focusing on the forces acting on a spacecraft with astronauts at different positions, the distinction between center of mass and center of gravity, and the concept of a space elevator. It also explains the tether boost and deboost operations, illustrating how a satellite can be injected to a higher orbit and a shuttle to a lower orbit without using propellant. The lecture concludes with a mention of the space elevator concept and a recommendation for further reading in the Tethers in Space Handbook.
