Solar sailing offers the possibility of low-cost long-distance
missions, impossible for any other type of conventional spacecraft.
The book provides a detailed account of solar sailing, at a high
technical level but in a way accessible to the scientifically informed
layman. Solar sail orbital dynamics and solar radiation pressure form
the foundations of the book, but the engineering design of solar sails
is also considered, along with potential mission applications. This
book introduces the subject and at the same time provides a technical
reference source.
