Hoytether is a trademarked name 〔(Tethers Unlimited Incorporated )〕 for a novel topology for a space tether, consisting of a lattice of strands, arranged in a circular cross-section with redundancy to handle potential damage from space debris and micrometeoroids.〔(''The Hoytether: A Space-Survivable Tether Structure''; ''www.tethers.com'' ). Overview of the technology with picture.〕 The Hoytether concept was proposed in 1995 by Robert P. Hoyt and Robert L. Forward.〔Forward, R. L., Hoyt, R. P.,"Failsafe Multiline Hoytether Lifetimes", AIAA paper 95-289031st AIAA/SAE/ASME/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference, San Diego, CA, USA, July 1995.〕〔Forward, R. L., Hoyt, R. P., Uphoff, C. W., ("The Terminator Tether(TM): A Low-Mass System for End-of-Life Deorbit of LEO Spacecraft" ) ; ''www.tethers.com/papers/TTPaper.pdf'' . Tether Technical Interchange Meeting, Huntsville, AL , USA, Sept 10 1997 .〕 The MAST tether experiment was launched 17 April 2007 aboard a Dnepr rocket. With a 1 km multistrand, interconnected Hoytether to attempt to test and prove the long-term survivability for tethers in space. Unfortunately the tether failed to deploy. ==See also== * Electrodynamic tether * Tether propulsion * Tether satellite * STS-75 * CubeSat 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hoytether」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
