AB Space Electrodynamic Tethers (EDTs) are km-long conductors that exchange momentum and energywith a planet magnetosphere through the Lorentz force exerted by the planet's magnetic field on thetether current. Since the conducting medium (plasma) and the magnetic field of the planetaryenvironment are essential for their operation, tether are appropriate for applications in Low EarthOrbits (LEO) and the neighborhood of giant planets like Jupiter [1, 2, 3, 4], Saturn [5], and Neptune[6]. However, the design and analysis of missions in outer planets typically requires deep knowledgeon tethers modeling. The main goal of this work is spreading the use of tethers and presenting afriendly software for the mission analysis and simulation of tethers in Jupiter.
