The ZTC Tether-Sling project simulates tethers for efficient transfers of payloads based on a momentum exchange principle.

== Principle ==

The basic principle of a momentum exchange tether is to take momentum from the tether's orbit and transfer it into the payload's orbit. The momentum of the tether can then be recharged over time using electrodynamic propulsion to allow it to prepare to transfer further payloads.

== Electro-Dynamic Propulsion ==

== Tether Locations ==

Tethers are planned for Earth (Ananke for lunar transfers and another for Mars transfers), Moon (Khronos) and Mars. Development work is progressing on Ananke at present.
