Falconry training and technique two part restraint featuring an anklet that is grommeted on, and a removable jess strap. Some Aylmeri jess straps have dental rubber bands on them to make it more difficult for the bird to pull out the jess, but they are still removable if the bird gets caught up outdoors. The third type of jesses is a combination of the two, referred to as "false Aylmeri." These use an anklet as well, but a brass eyelet is slipped through, far enough away that the toes will not get caught in it. There are two straps attached to the anklet, flying
Space tether missions launch lock trouble of the tether reel mechanism." A follow-on Space Tethered Autonomous Robotic Satellite, STARS-II, Iaunched on 27 February 2014 as a secondary payload aboard an H-2A rocket. The 9-kg student satellite flew a 300-metre (980 ft) electrodynamic tether made from ultra-thin wires of stainless steel and aluminium. The mission completed after two months and deorbited on 26 April 2014. One objective of this program was to demonstrate possible technology for de-orbiting space debris. The experiment was only partially successful, and tether deployment could not be confirmed. The orbit decayed from 350 km to 280 km in 50 days,
