Technological and organizational aspects of joint efforts by NASA and the Italian space agency ASI to develop tethered spacecraft systems are briefly discussed. The members of the ASI/NASA Task Group for Tether Flight Demonstrations are listed; the history of Task Group activities since 1986 is reviewed; and the current status of the main projects is indicated in a series of charts. Particular attention is given to the Tether Initiated Space Recovery System, a 450-lb spacecraft with a 20-km tether scheduled for Space Shuttle or Delta II launch to a 250-km 27.5-deg circular orbit in 1992.
