Potential of non-flat solar sail for higher characteristic acceleration
Solar sails offer a promising means of propelling spacecraft by harnessing Solar Radiation Pressure. Although non-flat solar sails have traditionally been considered less efficient in generating thrust, altering the sails’ design to a non-flat configuration can enhance structural stability, allowing...
