Abstract: | The equilibrium states of an electrodynamic tether between two bodies of small mass in a near-polar orbit are studied. The behavior of the following parameters is traced during an astronomical day: tension of the tether, its radius of curvature, the angle of deviation from the orbital plane, induced electrodynamic force, etc. The lifetime of the tether in a circular near-earth orbit is analyzed __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 3, pp. 111–121, March 2007. |
