Lecture

Electrical Power Generation in Space

Description

This lecture covers the concept and applications of electrodynamic tethers for electrical power generation in space, including history, orbit transfers, ionospheric studies, and space debris removal. It explains how tethers can act as electrical generators and motors by interacting with Earth's magnetic field, inducing voltage and generating thrust. The lecture also discusses the Tethered Satellite System 1 (TSS-1) mission, its background, and objectives.
