NIAC Funded Tether Research• Moon & Mars Orbiting Spinning Tether Transport (MMOSTT)• Hypersonic Airplane Space Tether Orbital Launch (HASTOL)• Objectives:– Perform Technical & Economic Analysis of Tether Transport Systems– Identify Technology Needs– Develop Conceptual Design Solutions– Prepare for Technology Development Efforts and Flight Experimentsto Demonstrate Tether Transport TechnologyTUI/MMOSTT 2
Momentum-ExchangeTether Boost Facility• High-strength tether rotates around orbiting control station• Tether picks payload up from lower orbit and tosses payload into higher orbit• Tether facility gives some of its orbital momentum & energy to payload• Tether facility orbit must be restored to enable it to toss additional payloadsTUI/MMOSTT 3
