Solar Sail Propulsion by 2050: An Enabling Capability for Heliophysics Missions
Les Johnson, Nathan Barnes, Matteo Ceriotti +11
Solar sails enable missions to observe the solar environment from unique vantage points, such as sustained observations away from the Sun-Earth line; sub-L1 station keeping; high i…
The High Inclination Solar Mission
K. Kobayashi, L. Johnson, H. Thomas +14
The High Inclination Solar Mission (HISM) is a concept for an out-of-the-ecliptic mission for observing the Sun and the heliosphere. The mission profile is largely based on the Sol…
Recognizing the Value of the Solar Gravitational Lens for Direct Multipixel Imaging and Spectroscopy of an Exoplanet
Slava G. Turyshev, Michael Shao, Janice Shen +18
The Solar Gravitational Lens (SGL) allows for major brightness amplification ( at wavelength of m) and extreme angular resolution ( arcsec) within…
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…
AXTAR: Mission Design Concept
Paul S. Ray, Deepto Chakrabarty, Colleen A. Wilson-Hodge +18
The Advanced X-ray Timing Array (AXTAR) is a mission concept for X-ray timing of compact objects that combines very large collecting area, broadband spectral coverage, high time re…
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…
