摘要
Magnetic field observations by the TEMAG experiment on the TSS-1R satellite for two events of constant stimulated current along the tether are discussed. Previous evidence of a complex, unexpected, electric azimuthal current circulation in close proximity of the high-voltage spacecraft is further supported and complemented. While previous events cover time intervals shorter than a spill cycle, the two new ones allow a complete coverage for a full spin cycle. The reed of deeper theoretical approach as well as of more experimental observations is stressed.
