Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze nonlinear dynamics of a tethered satellite. The nonlinear equations of motion are derived by using Lagrange's equations with the polar coordinate system. In order to analyze the response of tethered satellite, time responses are computed by the Newmark's time integration method. This paper claims that the dynamic behavior of the system is changed by the effect of length of tether, mass ratio of satellites.
