Space elevators and orbital tethers represent some of the most revolutionary concepts in space exploration,offering a ...

Tethers Unlimited is focusing on the small satellite market in low Earth orbit, targeting spacecraft too small to be economically serviced by robotic spacecraft like the one being developed under ...

Tethers Unlimited Inc. says it’s won $2.2 million in contracts from NASA and Millennium Space Systems to provide its miniaturized, water-fueled Hydros thrusters for satellite missions.

Tethers use cell phone signals, GPS and, in some cases, landline phones to track defendants' whereabouts for about $23 a day, far less than the $154 it costs to lock someone in the Wayne County Jail.

On Monday, the county had 638 inmates in a jail built to hold 580. Tethers allow the jail to free up bed space for offenders who may present more of a threat to society, said Pickell.

The precise distribution of materials within a cell is essential for life, but the way the movements of cellular cargo are choreographed is largely unknown. Taking an unprecedented look at special ...

Now, Verizon is holding off until the end of next year, which means the tethers won’t “go dark” after all. “We still don’t have the funding,” said Department spokesman Chris Gautz.

The new carbon nanotube tethers would perform better than the 2X strength tether and would be 3 times the strength of Spectra 2000. You can always choose the longest tether, which has the best ...
