- Work cat.: Adams, W.M. Dynamics of two slowly rotating point-mass vehicles connected by a massless tether and in a circular orbit, 1970:p. 1 (Use has been made of a tether in Gemini flights for extravehicular maneuvers and as a means of providing artificial gravity. The tethered configuration has also been proposed as a means of station keeping)
- Gemini Summary Conference, 1967:pp. 55-64 (Lang, D.D. Operations with tethered space vehicles: This exercise was to evaluate the basic feasibility of rotating tethered-vehicle operations as the operations might apply to generating artificial gravity or to station keeping. The exercise consisted of connecting the spacecraft and target vehicle with a 100-foot Dacron tether, and then using the translational thrusting capability of the spacecraft propulsion system to induce a mutual rotation)

Wikipedia description:
Space tethers are long cables which can be used for propulsion, momentum exchange, stabilization and attitude control, or maintaining the relative positions of the components of a large dispersed satellite/spacecraft sensor system. Depending on the mission objectives and altitude, spaceflight using this form of spacecraft propulsion is theorized to be significantly less expensive than spaceflight using rocket engines.
