Solar sail technology could enhance early space weather warnings, improving protection for satellites and power grids.
The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) recently tested the technology , which works by using sunlight instead of ...
And we believe it will fundamentally advance the technology of spaceflight. Solar sailing is elegant not only in concept but also in its efficiency. Once in orbit, there’s no fuel needed.
Novelists, poets, and scientists have envisioned spacecraft powered by solar sails since the 1600s. But now this fanciful concept is actually entering into reality.
The satellite is the space agency's first attempt at utilizing solar sails in low-Earth orbit, and may mark a huge step towards achievable interstellar travel. NanoSail-D will be NASA's first ...
It works similarly to how wind pushes against a sail on a boat. So too can sunlight push against a spacecraft to propel it through space. Incidentally, we call these spacecraft solar sails.
Data from two NASA solar missions is becoming available again following an outage that began in November 2024. The affected ...
