Tether implications on Space Station gravity level
Abstract
The use of a tether on the Space Station is discussed. The effefcts of the tether on the microgravity environment on the Space station are described. A tethered variable gravity laboratory for investigating low gravity processes using gravity magnitude and time as variables is considered.
