Electrodynamic tether technology considerations
Abstract
The electrodynamic tether operation was studied. Plasma contactors, power management and conditioning, and exposure of materials were considered. Multikilowatt electrodynamic tether systems need a variety of supporting technologies in order to be viable. The area of interface between the high voltage end of the electrodynamic tether and the user was not addressed, however, it must be in order for the successful and safe operation of the system.
