A technical and historical analysis of momentum exchange tethers and orbital skyhooks, which are propellantless space transportation systems designed to bypass the fuel penalties of traditional rocketry. By utilizing high-tensile structural lines to transfer kinetic energy and angular momentum between a facility and a payload, these architectures can propel objects into higher orbits or interplanetary trajectories.
