| Abstract: | Summary In connection with the presently developed TSS (tethered satellite system) project, we consider the problem of radiation of
electromagnetic waves from a long conducting tether moving in the ionosphere. In particular, we address to radiation of low-frequency
plasma modes, from ULF up to the electron cyclotron frequency. Both the case of a passive tether (no generator) and that of
a tether driven as an antenna are considered.
