Ideas for tethered satellite wanted United Press International HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The space agency has asked for ex periment ideas for the Te thered Satellite System, or “sa tellite on a string,” which will be reeled in and out of the space shuttle’s cargo bay on a long rope. NASA has released an “an nouncement of opportunity” asking the scientific community throughout the Western world to submit their ideas.for experi ments for the system which is being managed by the Marshall Space Flight Center. Scientists have until May 14 to submit a letter of intent to propose an experiment for the satellite. If they meet that dead line, they have until July 20 to submit detailed explanations of their proposed experiments. A special NASA headquar ters team, including representa tives of the Marshall center, will decide by Oct. 15 which experi ments will be used on the satel lite scheduled to be carried on the space shuttle by late 1987. “We’d certainly want to in corporate every valid experi- ment idea we receive from sci entists who respond to our announcement,” James Sisson, manager of the satellite project at Marshall, said Monday. “Realistically, of course,” he said, “the number of experi ments we can select will be based on available funding and the physical resources of the sat-ellite itself — that is, its power, weight, and volume allo cated to experiments.” In orbit, the satellite would be suspended either downward or upward from the shuttle’s cargo bay on a tether — a su per-strong synthetic cord one- sixteenth of an inch in diameter and up to GO miles in length. When deployed upward, as it will be for its maiden mission in 1987, the satellite will study electrodynamic and other scien tific phenomena. Deployed downward during later mis sions it will search the Earth’s upper atmosphere for magne- tospheric, atmospheric and gravitational data. The globe-shaped satellite, approximately five feet in diam eter and 1,100 pounds in weight, will have one hemi sphere devoted to experiment support such as power and data transmission. The other hemisphere will be allocated to the experiments themselves. In the center of the satellite will be a cold-gas sys tem, with small jets rimming the satellite at the “equatorial plane,” the dividing line be tween the hemispheres. The cold-gas system will be used for attitude control of the satellite as it sweeps the upper atmosphere in downward de ployment or, in upward deploy ment, through the space plasma — ionized gas particles sur rounding the Earth. The Marshall center recently exercised a firm option in its contract with Martin Marietta Aerospace of Denver, Colo, for full-scale development of the Tethered Satellite System.
