Effects of Asymmetries on the Dynamics of Motorized Momentum Exchange Tether and Payloads Injection Precision

This paper presents the error dynamic model of motorized momentum exchange tether (MMET) based on the momentum exchange principle of space tether. The error dynamics are caused by the structural bias of the differences in tethers’ length and the difference in payloads’ mass. After that, the coupling...
