This paper describes the concept of a space-tethered atmospheric system, a hybrid craft consisting of an orbiting spacecraft and a downward-deployed aerodynamically-configured satellite. Such a system could conduct both hypersonic aerothermodynamics research and atmospheric science research in the outer atmosphere (about 150-90 km). Descriptions of specific space-tethered atmospheric systems, scheduled tether flight validation experiments, and a development strategy for a three-phased aerothermodynamics research capability culminating in a 'flying wind tunnel' are provided.
