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.

The difference
between this
summer job offer
and others is like
Others:
Are you comfortable working for a company that’s been in
business a year or so? (Many of the companies who
recruited just last year are already out of business.)
Will they be around to write your last paycheck?
Training? Naa . . . Just hit the streets and get to work.
Satisfaction?
Can they really guarantee you anything about your
summer income? Or is their sales pitch jusfa lot of hot air?
Three to 1 8 months in business doesn’t prove much. 90%
of all new businesses fail within the first five years.
