Basic properties, characterizations and relationships of almost δ-precontinuous multi...

Abstract. The operational advantages of electrodynamic tethers of moderate length are becoming evident from studies of collision avoidance. Although long tethers (of order of 10 kilometers) provide high efficiency and good adaptability to varying plasma conditions, boosting tethers of moderate length (~ 1 kilometer) and suitable design might still operate at acceptable efficiencies and adequate...
