A tether is a rope-like device that attaches an astronaut to a space vehicle during the time spent outside on a spacewalk. Why is a tether necessary?

• Strong solar winds would blow the astronaut away from the vehicle otherwise.

• Astronauts must remain close to the vehicle to obtain the heat it provides.

• Without a tether, astronauts would float away due to the lack of gravity in space.

• Tethers add just enough weight to the astronaut to keep them in orbit.
