On problems of active space debris removal using tethered towing
The document discusses active debris removal in space using tethered towing. The authors have developed a mathematical model of the attitude motion of a debris-tether-tug system. The model accounts for factors such as flexible appendages on the debris, fuel residuals, tether properties, and environmental forces. The authors aim to further study the capture dynamics of debris and stabilization after capture, and create a comprehensive model covering all stages from initial capture to atmospheric reentry.
