α_ip, and out-of-plane angle, α_op, can be reduced by increasing the endmass of the system, or by employing feedback technology. Any deviations in the...

concerns the current collection at different potentials on a spherical endmass. Measured currents on the tether far exceeded predictions of previous numerical...

is at the other end of the stack, and is described as simply a "tether endmass". Its design did include a radio, but the groundstation has not received...
