摘要：

The Shuttle Electrodynamic Tether System (SETS) experiment formed part of the scientific experiments comprising the first flight of the NASA/ASI Tethered-Satellite System flown at an altitude of 300 km and an orbital inclination of 28.5 degrees in July-August 1992. The SETS experiment was designed to study electrodynamic behavior of the Orbiter-Tether-Satellite system as well as provide background measurements of the ionospheric environment near the Orbiter. The SETS experiment was able to operate continuously during the mission providing a large data set. Details of the SETS objectives, its instrumentation, and initial results from the mission highlighting voltage, current, and charging measurements are presented here.
