A domestic think tank has developed a "solar sail" to power spacecraft using solar winds. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) on Feb. 13 said it developed and demonstrated the prototype of a ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Data from two NASA solar missions is becoming available again following an outage that began in November 2024. The affected ...
