Magnetic field experiments of the TSS-1 mission: Investigations of the electrodynamics of a tethered satellite
Abstract
The evaluation of data from the magnetometer-experiment of the subsatellite TSS-1, connected with the Space Shuttle, is prepared, and kinetic plasma model predictions concerning the perturbations field of the electrodynamic TSS-1 in the ionospheric plasma are made. The far field wave solution in the ionospheric plasma is being established. The complex problem of the plasma distribution around subsatellites considered as anodes is treated using kinetic models.
