Abstract: <\/strong>Modeling and simulation of space tether dynamics started in the early 1970s when it was realized that tethers have a vast potential for many space applications. The decision to launch the Tethered Satellite System – 1 (TSS \u2013 1) mission gave a significant boost to tether dynamics studies. Since then, hundreds of such investigations have been undertaken; many of them are related to deorbiting of satellites using electrodynamic tethers or to space debris removal. Many different approaches have been used to discretize the tether for the analysis of its elastic oscillations. Various approaches have been proposed to stabilize the librational motion of the tether. This lecture will briefly review the different approaches that have been used for modeling and simulation of space tether dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biography: <\/strong>Arun K. Misra is currently the Thomas Workman Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. His research interests are in the areas of spacecraft dynamics and control, tethered satellites, space elevator, space debris and space robotics. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) as well as of the American Astronautical Society (AAS). He has been elected to the International Academy of Astronautics and to the Canadian Academy of Engineering. He is a Co-Editor of the international journal Acta Astronautica. He has received several awards such as the Dirk Brouwer Award of the American Astronautical Society and the Distinguished Service Award of the International Astronautical Federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
