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.
