This paper describes simulation of deployment of a tethered satellite system. The mass and flexibility of the tether are taken into account in the simulation model, which we call a flexible model. In the control design, the mass and flexibility of the tether are neglected, and the controlled system is expressed by a bilinear state equation, which we call a bilinear model. We compare simulation results of the flexible model and the bilinear model under a linear state feedback control, which is designed for the bilinear model. The simulation result of the flexible model is almost the same as the simulation result of the bilinear model, which implies that we can employ the simple bilinear model for the control design.
