Equilibrium Conditions for Tethered NanosatelliteConstellations
Abstract
This expanded summary describes a tethered spacecraft system modeled in three-dimensionalproblem with six smaller bodies connected by a cable of negligible mass and rigid. This allows themodel to be described by a Keplerian motion. [...]Downloads
