Dataset of the cross-verification and benchmarking analysis of electrodynamic tether simulators

We performed a cross-validation and a benchmarking analysis of five electrodynamic tether (EDT) simulators developed by independent research groups: BETsMA, DYNATETHER (DYNAT), EDTSim, FLEX, and TeMPEST. It is a multi-institutional and multi-national project since the codes were developed at UC3M in Spain, at YU in Canada, at JAXA in Japan, at UNIPD in Italy, and at PSU in the USA, respectively. We tested and compared the implementation of the orbital propagators, the environmental models, and the electrical and dynamical models for the EDT.

我们对五个由独立研究团队开发的电动力学系绳（EDT）模拟器进行了交叉验证和基准分析：包括西班牙马德里自治大学（UC3M）的BETsMA、加拿大的YU的DYNATETHER（DYNAT）、日本的JAXA的EDTSim、意大利的UNIPD的FLEX以及美国的PSU的TeMPEST。该项目是一个多机构、跨国界的合作项目，因为相关代码分别由西班牙马德里自治大学、加拿大YU、日本JAXA、意大利帕多瓦大学（UNIPD）和美国俄勒冈州立大学（PSU）开发。我们测试并比较了轨道传播器、环境模型以及电动力学模型在EDT中的应用实现。
