摘要
We develop minimum-mass tether designs for a rotating human transport, which not only provides artificial gravity but also the potential for free-return aborts. Our investigation reveals that severing the tether can provide a propellant-free boost to return astronauts to Earth in the event of an aborted landing on Mars. The years 2018 and 2020 are identified as good launch opportunities for propellant-free abort scenarios using Earth-Mars-Earth trajectories.
