T1 New electrodynamic tether technology
YR 1994
FD 9--13 may
AB New Electrodynarnic Tether Technology (NETT) is  an experiment we proposed to ESA as part of the Columbus  Precursor Flights. It was designed to fly as an exposed  payload in the Spacelab carrier. Its primary objective  is performance testing for the innovative bare tether  concept. The experiment also includes two scientific objectives, specific for uninsulated tethers: i) detection of artificial auroral effects produced by secondary electron  emission, and ii) detection of VLF wave emission. Additional  objectives of the project are space performance of an electron-emitting hollow cathode and engineering verification of an open-loop deployment strategy.
