- 11. • Figure shows oscillations of the angles α between the tether and the axis Oyo of the orbital rotating frame with undesirably high amplitudes while θ is small. • Marked oscillations caused by the gravitational torque that is created by the difference between the gravity forces act on the space tug and on the orbital debris. Example: the influence of gravitational torque 116th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AEROSPACE SCIENCES (29 June – 3 July 2015, Kraków, Poland)
