The electric solar wind sail, or E-sail, is a propellantless interplanetary propulsion system concept. By deflecting solar wind particles off their original course, it can generate a propulsive effect with nothing more than an electric charge. The high-v...

A new method of producing robust multi-wire tethers for Coulomb drag applications was developed. The multi-wire structure required for redundancy against the micrometeoroid flux of the space environment is realised through the method of wire twist bondin...

A tethered towing system provides an effective method for capturing pieces of space debris and dragging them out of orbit. This paper focuses on the in-plane stability analysis and libration control of a two-segment tethered towing system. The first segm...

Consumable-free electron emitters are presently not feasible for autonomous tether-based deorbit devices such as E.T.PACK due to their power requirement. The bare-photovoltaic-tether (BPT) concept combines the bare tether electron collection with a tethe...
