This work addresses the needs for advanced computational tools and theoretical models devoted to the study of two interrelated topics of interest to the Air Force: Radiation Belt Remediation (RBR) and potential use of tethers as low frequency oscillators/radiators. Both problems stretch the capabilities of existing numerical methods, while connecting with a body of previous work on probe theory, spacecraft-plasma interactions and electrodynamic tether propulsion. The Electrostatic RBR application would ...
