The advent of the Tethered Satellite System promises to allow scientific access to a part of the space environment which has been both too expensive and too technically demanding to be observed in detail by conventional techniques. Although the physical processes operating in the region between 90 and 400 km are of crucial importance in understanding the Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere, our knowledge of these regions is based on a modest database of sounding rocket, maneuverable satellite and remote sensing observations. Repetitive and long duration observations of the environmental charactersitics in this altitude regime will be of crucial importance in unraveling the truly important physical processes from those which are second order contributors.
