Numerical optimization ofsolar sail trajectories to Mars
Typical propulsion systems for space transportation involve the ejectionof mass for momentum gain. Solar sails remove the requirement forpropellant mass by obtaining their momentum from solar photons, whichrequires large surface area and very low mass. In this way solar sailcraftgenerate constant ac...
