Large Area Sail Design Concepts
Mission concepts to several hundred AU and beyond are under study at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The preliminary results of these mission studies have identified solar sails as one of the promising propulsion technologies for making these ambitious precursor and interstellar missions a reality. This paper presents solar and beamed energy sa...
متن کاملAccessing the Solar System With a Small Solar Sail
Solar sailing is a proposed means of space propulsion in which a reflective surface collects momentum from solar photons to accelerate a vehicle. The current trend within the solar sailing community is to increase sail size as solar sailing technologies advance, allowing for larger payloads and higher accelerations. However, with the miniaturization of modern payloads, sail sizes can be dramati...
متن کاملControllable Propulsion by Light: Steering a Solar Sail via Tunable Radiation Pressure
(1 of 6) 1600668 polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films stand out due to their ability to be switched from an opaque to a transparent state with the applied external electric field without the need for polarizers. Since its discovery,[13] researchers have extensively explored the potential applications of PDLCs in the areas of flat panel displays,[14] smart windows,[15,16] microlens,[17]...
متن کاملAIAA 2002-1703 Scalable Solar Sail Subsystem Design Considerations
Under recent contract to JPL for the New Millennium Space Technology 7 Program (ST7) AEC-Able Engineering (ABLE) developed a Scalable Solar Sail Subsystem (S). The S is a minimal mass propulsion subsystem that can be mounted to a general heritage spacecraft to provide continuous low level thrust. The design baseline is a 3-axis-stabilized 4-quadrant square sail with attitude controlled through ...
