Tethered satellite systems (TSSs) have attracted significant attention due to their potential
and valuable applications for scientific research. With the development of various launched …

Evgenii M. Levin is a senior researcher at the Blagonravov Institute for Mechanical
Engineering Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a Ph. D. in physics and …

The linear dynamics of a class of translating media with an arbitrarily varying length is
investigated. The tension in the media arising from their longitudinal accelerations is …

A methodology for deployment/retrieval optimization of tethered satellite systems is
presented. Previous research has focused on the case where the tether is modeled as an …

The general control laws for pointwise controllers to dissipate vibratory energies of
translating beams and strings with arbitrarily varying length are presented. Special domain …

One of the most important operations during a tethered satellite system mission is the
deployment of a subsatellite from a space ship. We restrict tothe simple but practically …

Tethered satellite systems (TSS) pose quite challenging problems concerning their
modelling, derivation of the equations of motion, numerical simulation of their dynamics …

TETHERED satellite systems are extremely important for many future space applications [1].
Momentum transfer [2–4] and electrodynamic maneuvering [5–8] represent possible …

WITH the dramatically growing number of satellites launched into space, near-Earth orbits
are becoming increasingly crowded with space debris or dysfunction satellites. Among all …

The deployment of a subsatellite from a mother spaceship moving on a circular orbit is a
delicate operation for a tethered satellite system because this process leads to an unstable …
