Students work to design and build a tiny satellite as a testbed for miniature electrodynamic tethers -- a propellantless propulsion technology. The project, called Mi-TEE (Miniature Tether Electrodynamics Experiment), is part of the University of Michigan's Multidisciplinary Design Program: [ Ссылка ]
Electrodynamic tethering could enable coordinated fleets of tens to hundreds of miniature satellites that could transform the way we monitor natural disasters, space weather and the broader space environment by eliminating the need for propellant to maintain a proper orbit and formation.
