Solar sail propulsion: enabling new capabilities for heliophysics
L. Johnson, R. Young, D. Alhorn +13
Solar sails can play a critical role in enabling solar and heliophysics missions. Solar sail technology within NASA is currently at 80% of TRL-6, suitable for an in-flight technolo…
Microscopic Approach to Analyze Solar-Sail Space-Environment Effects
Roman Ya. Kezerashvili, Gregory L. Matloff
Near-sun space-environment effects on metallic thin films solar sails as well as hollow-body sails with inflation fill gas are considered. Analysis of interaction of the solar radi…
The beryllium hollow-body solar sail: exploration of the Sun's gravitational focus and the inner Oort Cloud
Gregory L. Matloff, Roman Ya. Kezerashvili, Claudio Maccone +1
Spacecraft kinematics, peak perihelion temperature and space environment effects during solar-radiation-pressure acceleration for a beryllium hollow-body interstellar solar sail in…
