Novel Partial Space Elevator via an Electrodynamic Tether for Cargo Transportation

A novel partial space elevator for cargo transportation is proposed with a conceptual design of an electrodynamic tether to provide clean and propellant-free driving force for climbing motions and to control the coupled attitude motions of tethers. The nonlinear dynamics and control of the upward an...
