Tethered Satellite System (TSS)

The Tethered Satellite System (TSS) is a joint National Aeronautics and Space Administation (NASA) and Italian Space Agency
(ASI) project.

The goals of the TSS-1 mission were to demonstrate the feasibility of deploying and controlling long tethers in space, and to evaluate some of the unique
applications of the TSS as a tool for research by conducting exploratory experiments in space plasma physics.
