This paper proposes an evolutionary series of tether-dynamics flight experiments using the Small Expendable Deployer System (SEDS). Such experiments could be launched as secondary payloads on the Delta ELV. The purpose of the series of experiments is to acquire data on tether deployment rate, tension, tether shape, and operating environment to compared with computer-based tether simulations. A second purpose is to serve as a precursor for the Orbiter-based SEDS, since both the tether deployer and the flight profile are similar. Additional flights could observe tether dynamics over a much wider range of operational and environmental conditions and could employ more comprehensive measurements.
