NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System has successfully deployed its solar sail, marking a significant achievement in ...

If we achieve advanced nuclear, antimatter propulsion or other advance propulsion it would be possible to achieve near ...

As stated in one of the papers, they intend to achieve "challenging national development" regarding solar-sail propulsion. And the geomagnetic storm tracker isn't their only use-case—the same ...

NanoSail-D will be NASA's first attempt to utilize "solar sail" propulsion in space. Once in free orbit, the satellite is designed to unfurl a 100-square foot mast made from a polymer fabric no ...

"This is a very novel technology," he added. "We have traditionally relied on propulsion to take satellites from one place to another, and solar sail is providing a new way of traveling in space ...

on Feb. 13 said it developed and demonstrated the prototype of a solar sail deployment device. Since June last year, KARI has studied technology for solar diffraction propulsion for navigating ...

Flying on the power of the sun is definitely not a new idea, but it usually involves a battery between the solar panels and the propulsion ... almost akin to sailing. When a load tries to draw ...

NEW ORLEANS — Solar sails that allow satellites to glide on the light from the sun could soon become a reality. The technology would allow scientists to provide earlier warnings of space weather ...
