They authors provide a brief review of the physics basis for the tethered satellite program whose development began in 1984. They describe the electrodynamic effects which can be seen or induced by means of a conducting tether orbiting through the ionosphere. They also describe the first mission, in terms of the equipment, mission objective, and the actual experiment launched in July 1992.
