Dynamical Considerations for Tethered Orbital Refueling Facility
Abstract
Report summarizes feasibility study for proposed gravity-gradient-stabilized refueling facility tethered to orbiting station. Includes results of preliminary dynamical analysis of fluid transfer and storage and compares alternative system configurations. Concepts introduced in these documents applied to design problems in more detailed study described in "Propellant Tanks for Tethered Orbital Refueling Facility (MSC-21074).
