A tethered satellite system was conceived as a device to extend the capability of the Space Shuttle to perform scientific/applications investigations and operational activities. The concept envisions a multiple-use tethered system with closed-loop control, capable of supporting a payload or satellite suspended from the Shuttle cargo bay, toward or away from the Earth, at distances up to 100 kilometers from the Shuttle. The background and results of early analyses and feasibility studies are discussed and a design and operational description of the system are presented. Also presented are a discussion of potential applications of the Tethered Satellite System, and plans for an operational verification flight in 1982.
