Abstract

The Orbital Cable System (OCS) consists of a vehicle with an engine, a long connecting cable (string) and a satellite probe for low altitude geophysical explorations. The vehicle orbits the Earth at an altitude of 200-250 km and tows a probe at an altitude of 100-150 km. The air drag is compensated by the vehicle engine thrust. In the OCS dynamics study the cable weight, elasticity and air drag are taken into account. The OCS stationary motions are found, and stability of these motions is investigated. The OCS periodical motions that are close to the stationary motions are found. Simple ways of the OCS deployment in orbit are described.
