A Motorised Momentum Exchange Tether (MMET) comprises a pair of long lines, ideally in the form of slender tubular structures containing considerable redundancy which connect two orbiting payload masses to a centrally located motor unit. MMETs are intended to be used for orbital payload transportation by which the central motor spins the tether system, against a suitable stator inertia, so that the outer payloads gain suitable velocity to escape orbit in LEO when released. Symmetry is highly desirable as it allows two-way payload flow logistics and it also prevents de-orbit of the tether and the central facility upon payload release. Any scenario in which unexpected payload mass loss occurs, and then initiates asymmetry in the tether, will be potentially catastrophic, and so finding ways to correct the system in this situation is very important. This paper further investigates the dynamics of asymmetrical space tethers to prove that the potential for rescue is possible should such an occurrence arise. The derivation of the equations of motion for an asymmetrical tether is discussed in order to study a tether system with payload unbalance. Partial and full payload losses have been considered, building strongly on previous work, and an analysis of the angular displacement, axial translation, and inertia force acting on the tether has been performed. Centre of mass correction has been proven to be possible through the analysis of partial mass loss; and the centre of mass is shown to be able to correct itself completely, for pragmatic levels of axial correction thrust, given enough time -demonstrating that mission rescue from undesirable asymmetry is possible under the right circumstances.
