- Abstract
This paper presents an innovative engineering approach for the orbital control of a CubeSat Pair using an electrical tether. The principle of space electrical tether is introduced following the engineering concept design of such a tethered Cubesat based system. The system level miniaturization for the design, implementation and operation of such a space tether is also discussed.
