Spontaneous radiation emitted by moving tethered systems

Some concepts related to radiation emitted by a large conductor moving through a magnetoplasma are outlined and referred to the case of long tethers. Some recent results of a theoretical calculation of Alfven wings, their structure and the power associated with are shown. How the problem of radiation from TSS or for any large conductor moving through a magnetoplasma should be approached is presented. The approach is that of the theory of antennas in plasmas.
