Scientific paper

Use of a slowly spinning interferometer configuration with the telescopes attached to the central station using tethers of equal length, including tether configuration, mass and storage is discussed. Slow rotation allows measurements of each source at different baseline angles. When the maximum baseline length is reached, the tethers can be retracted (stopping at intermediate lengths for further measurements, if required) and the telescopes recaptured by the central station. The attitude change to another source can be performed with the rigid configuration.
