Deorbiting Dynamics of Electrodynamic Tether
This paper studies satellite deorbit using electrodynamic tether (EDT) propulsion. Gaussian perturbation equations are used to model the orbital dynamics of EDT with environmental perturbations of electrodynamic force, aerodynamic drag and the effect of Earth’s oblateness. Differential equations for the induced voltage-current across EDT are derived and solved with boundary conditions determine...

متن کاملAdaptive Mesh PIC and PIC-Vlasov Hybrid Methods for Space Electrodynamic Tether and Anomalous Transport Modeling
Original PIC method becomes computationally expensive or even fails when applied to certain physical problems that require detailed phase space resolution or low statistical fluctuations. In present work we discuss two such cases – with partially absorbing internal boundary and internal plasma source, respectively. Interestingly enough both problems originate from the area of space plasma propu...
متن کاملModel of Current Collection to Small Breaches in Electrodynamic-Tether Insulation
Future electrodynamic-tether missions are expected to be long duration (from several months to years); hence, these missions can expect possibly significant performance degradation due to breaches in tether insulating material caused by hazards such as mi-crometeoroids. In order to accurately predict this performance degradation, the collection of plasma current to these small breaches must be ...
متن کاملDetermination of Hollow Cathode Plasma Contactor System Requirements using an Electrodynamic Tether System Simulation Tool
No. # 121 Determination of Hollow Cathode Plasma Contactor System Requirements using an Electrodynamic Tether System Simulation Tool One application of bare electrodynamic tether systems is to deorbit spent satellites and debris from Low-Earth Orbit. In these systems a hollow cathode plasma contactor sub-system is used to form a plasma bridge between one end of the tether and the space plasma i...
