Characterization of a Solar Sail Membrane for Abaqus-Based Simulations
Photonic solar sails are a class of advanced propellantless propulsion systems that use thin, large, lightweight membranes to convert the momentum of light from the Sun into thrust for space navigation. The conceptually simple nature of such a fascinating propulsion system requires, however, advance...
