A photograph of the Tethered Satellite System 1 (TSS-1) deployed from the Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1992. The image shows the satellite connected to the shuttle by a thin tether against the backdrop of space. This experiment, while ultimately unsuccessful, was a crucial step in developing space tether technology and realizing the dream of space elevators.
