The experiment proposed in this paper aims to demonstrate the deployment and operation of a bare electrodynamic (ED) tape tether in a low earth orbit. A bare ED tether does not require a separate current collection device thereby reducing system mass, complexity, etc. A tape tether is used as it is the most efficient geometry for current collection and it reduces the risk of tether severance. This experiment is fundamental in the development of a fully passive deboost capability for tether-equipped systems. The development of the tape tether, deployer and the method of experiment data acquisition are described.
