Abstract: 

The article summarizes the main results of studies on the dynamics of electrodynamics space tethered systems. The results of studies of the deployment dynamics of the tethered systems and resonant oscillation instability about center of mass under the action of Ampere and aerodynamic moments, as well as the assessment of deorbit time of space objects using electrodynamics tethered systems, are reported

Keywords: deployment, electrodynamic space tether system, resonant oscillation
