  skos:definition """The TIPS satellite was deployed on 20 June 1996 at an altitude
of 1,022 kilometers (552 nautical miles). This experiment is
designed to increase knowledge about gravity-gradient tether
dynamics and the survivability of tethers in space. (Tethers can
be severed by space debris.) The National Reconnaissance Office
(NRO) is a sponsor of the TiPS program. While tethers have been
theoretically studied as a means for satellite stabilization,
propulsion, and electricity generation for some time, TiPS is
among the first successful tether deployments in space and is
the first experiment designed for long duration.
