Some of the possible new applications beyond the tethered missions already manifested are reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to the International Space Station Scenario. Applications of the tethered systems as supporting tools in the field of the reentry technology research are addressed. A tethered system deployed from the Space Station provides a cleaner and safer environment for particularly sensitive experiments. The management of the Station center of gravity, by controlling its vertical position at low frequencies or in DC mode, allow the minimization of the microgravity levels within the laboratory module. The choice of the characteristics of the tethered system can improve the performance of the Station attitude control system by augmenting the stabilizing effect.
