ConstellationsMultiple spacecraft configurations which involve tethering are presented. Potential applications of such tethered systems are enumerated. Tethers are thought to provide a way to open up the utility of large masses in orbit, perhaps allowing for the reoptimization of the STS toward greater total mass and volume per launch. Significant materials reserves could also be held in orbit.
