A tether satellite is a satellite connected to another by a thin cable called a tether. The "space tether" idea had its origin in the late 1800s. The idea became more popular in the 1960s, and subsequently NASA examined the feasibility of the idea and gave direction to the study of tethered systems, especially tethered satellites. 3, record 1, English, - tethered%20satellite%20system
