The efficiency of an electrodynamic tether (ED) system with a grid-sphere anode is considered, when the system operates as a thruster. A developed approach is applied to the analysis of the problems of the International Space Station (ISS) and Momentum-eXchange/Electrodynamic Reboost (MXER) facility reboost. The difference in their trajectories resulted in different operational regimes; a requirement of minimal ISS center of mass shift due to attached tether system, the total length of the MXER facility, and restrictions on the power source voltage and currents are taken into account. It is found that for both missions the efficiency of an ED tether system with a grid-sphere anode is about 30 %- 50 % smaller than the efficiency of an ED thr...
