Some possible applications of tethers to the Mars exploration mission, both manned and unmanned, are discussed. An analysis concerning the sizing of a tether system for generating artificial gravity inside a spaceship was performed. A preliminary evaluation of the system dynamical stability and the overall vehicle configuration is performed. The behavior of a carrier-tether-probe system orbiting in the Martian middle atmosphere is investigated. Simplified models to assess the lowest altitude towards which the tethered probe can be deployed to perform atmospheric measurements are developed. A description of the ideas for the use of tethered systems for sampling the surface of Martian satellites and performing aerobreaking maneuvers is presented.
