    摘要: The present invention comprises an electrodynamic tether structure and a method of use. The structure of the tether taught by the present invention is a short, wide, interconnected multiwire (compared to the long, narrow single wires of the prior art) conductive tether whose area maximizes electrodynamic drag while simultaneously minimizing the Area-Time-Product swept by the tether during its operating life. The preferred tether length is two kilometers to five kilometers. The preferred tether mass is one percent to five percent of the spacecraft mass. The method of operation comprises orienting the tether structure at an angle to the local vertical to maximize electrodynamic drag on the host spacecraft and minimize tether instability. The angle of 35.26 degrees is preferred.

    摘要: A launchable land anchor having a tether, an anchor head housing a self-righting control module, a ground penetration device, a plurality of stability panels extending from a bottom portion having an interior surface and an exterior surface, and a plurality of sensors disposed on said exterior surface of said stability panels. Embodiments according to the present invention allow for self-righting functionality and continuous monitoring of stability to ensure security of the anchoring and removing the need of an on-site operator to setup and monitor the land anchor.
