Space Tethered Systems<\/h2>

The University of Padova played a fundamental role in the birth and growth of tethered systems for space as Professor Giuseppe Colombo of our university was one of the inventors of this technology. Our research group carries forward this legacy through several initiatives and studies:
\n\u2022\tDevelopment of accurate numerical packages for simulating the dynamics and thermal conditions of long non-conductive and conductive tethers in space
\n\u2022\tSynthesis of control laws to deploy long tethered systems in space with the desired final dynamic state
\n\u2022\tDevelopment of devices and\/or control algorithms to stabilize the tethered systems
\n\u2022\tStudy of fully green electrodynamic (propellant-less) systems for orbital control
\n\u2022\tAnalysis and design of specialized tether geometries to increase the performance and survivability of thin tethers\/tapes to micrometeoroid impacts
\n\u2022\tStudy of collision avoidance maneuvers through tether current control
\n\u2022\tDesign, assembly and testing of compact cold gas systems for attitude control
\n\u2022\tDesign, construction and testing of mechanisms to deploy long tape tethers<\/p> \"\"<\/div>
