Solar Sailing for Cubesats

by Patrick Stakem ...

Series series Cubesats
This book will discuss the topic of sailing on the solar wind, the continuous outpouring of photons from the Sun. When these photons reflects off the sail, they give a “push” to it, exchange a small amount of momentum. In the vacuum of space, this builds up fairly quickly. As the bombardment is continuous, the velocity keeps building up as well. A solar powered craft can be steered by changing the ... Read more
