Electrodynamic interactions
Abstract
It is apparent that the electrodynamic tether offers new potential for unique scientific experiments which should enhance the understanding of space plasma physics and in particular certain classes of solar system plasma phenomena, and that these science studies will also address a number of key engineering concerns which may open up new power and thrust generation technology that could be a significant factor in future space operations.
