Methods and systems related to space systems and more specifically to tethers for space maneuverability and replated applications are disclosed herein. Specific embodiments disclosed herein improve traditional space tethers by increasing the functionality of the tether, improving the stability of the tether, and enhancing the operational reliability and durability of the tethers. A disclosed method to execute a maneuver for a tether system comprises: obtaining sensor data using a sensor; calculating, using the sensor data, a required command for an actuator to execute the maneuver; and executing the required command to execute the maneuver to traverse an intermediate node along a tether using the actuator. The center of mass of the tether system is thereby altered and the maneuver is executed.
