Electrical model and optimal design scheme for low work-function tethers in thrust mode
A low work-function tether (LWT), a subclass of bare electrodynamic tether made of a conductor partially coated with a low work function material, can exchange momentum and energy with planetary magnetospheres without any consumable. If fed by an onboard power source to reverse the natural direction...
