ABSTRACT:
A space platform assembly designed to be attached to the outer surface of a space station structure for deployment of a tethered space platform into isolation orbit alongside the space station. The space platform is designed to carry payloads such as for research experimentation in the microgravity environment of space. The tether comprises a loose power/data umbilical for the deployed space platform while it orbits free of the vibration and g-jitter problems of the space station.
