Determination of electrodynamic tether's characteristics for space debris deorbiting

In this paper the mathematical model of electrodynamic space tethered system was developed. Study of current intensity and tether length on the time of nonfunctioning space object deorbiting. The series of numerical experiments were performed. It was stated that increasing of the tether length or the current intensity leads to a decrease in the time of the non-functioning space object deorbiting.
