Solar Sails: A Novel Approach to Interplanetary Travel - Springer Praxis Books
Giovanni Vulpetti
The reality of sunlight-based sailing in space began in May 2010, and solar sail technology and science have continued to evolve rapidly through new space missions. It also discusses various sail systems that may use either sunlight or solar wind, and the design, fabrication and steering challenges associated with solar sails.
