Electrodynamic Reboost• Power supply drives currentalong tetherThrustMagnetic FieldCurrent• Plasma contactors exchangecurrent with ionosphere• Plasma waves close current“loop”• Current “pushes” againstgeomagnetic field via JxBForceTUI/MMOSTT 4Plasma Contactors(Hollow Cathode,FEA, Bare Wire)
Momentum-Exchange/Electrodynamic-Reboost Tethers:Summary of Advantages• Tether Boost Facilities Can Provide a Fully-Reusable In-SpacePropulsion Architecture– LEO ⇔ MEO/GTO– LEO ⇔ Lunar Surface– LEO ⇔ Mars– ETO Launch, in combination with Hypersonic Airplane/RLV• Momentum Exchange + Electrodynamic Tether Can EnablePropellantless Propulsion Beyond LEO• Rapid Transfer Times– 5 days to Moon– 90-130 days to Mars• Operational Tether System Can Be Tested Before Use With High-Value Payloads• Reusable Infrastructure + Low Consumables⇒ Lower CostTUI/MMOSTT 5
