Solar Sailing:Technology,Dynamics & Mission Applications [McInnes,1999] (hardcover)


Solar sailing offers the possibility of low-cost long-distance missions, impossible for any other type of conventional spacecraft. The book provides a detailed account of solar sailing, at a high technical level but in a way accessible to the scientifically informed layman. Solar sail orbital dynamics and solar radiation pressure form the foundations of the book, but the engineering design of solar sails is also considered, along with potential mission applications. This book introduces the subject and at the same time provides a technical reference source. Table of Contents Ch. 1: Introduction to solar sailing Ch. 2: Solar radiation Ch. 3: Solar sail design Ch. 4: Solar sail orbital dynamics Ch. 5: Non-Keplerian orbits Ch. 6: Mission application case studies Ch. 7: Laser-driven light sails
