ABSTRACT:
A device for coupling at least two spacecrafts, the latter being connected by means of at least two tether lines, between which a plurality of cross-connections are provided which run parallel to each other at a right-angle or any other angle to the tether lines so that the length of the coupled tether lines is far greater than the dimensions transverse to the imaginary longitudinal axis of the tether system. By the introduction and use of such multiple tether systems a redundant system has been made available for tether technology. As a result, the probability of failure or dropout of such a multiple tether system has been greatly reduced or largely excluded.
