Archive-name: auto/sci.space/Tether-Thesis-available-via-FTP

Beacause of the recent interest in tethers, I have made my senior
thesis available for anonymous FTP.  The beginning and the end of the
paper contain a short summary of the tether concept and some of its
uses.  The main body is an analysis of the dynamics of an orbiting
mass barbell.  It is not a general introduction to tethers.

The FTP location is the space-tech archive site:

daisy.learning.cs.cmu.edu

The paper is in the directory

public/space-tech/reeder.thesis


The files in the directory contain my senior thesis: "Tethers for
Space Propulsion Without Reaction Mass" in two formats.  

The file "reeder.thesis.dvi" is a TeX device independant file
containing the complete text of the thesis.  You must ftp it in BINARY
mode.  Consult your local documentation for information on printing
".dvi" files.

The file "reeder.thesis.ps" is a PostScript file containing the
complete text of the thesis.  You must ftp it in ASCII mode.  Consult
your local documentation for information on printing PostScript files.
