Solar sail technology could enhance early space weather warnings, improving protection for satellites and power grids.

and a large solar sail would entirely control the mission. Current warning times for solar storms are only a few minutes at best, as the detectors watching for them are located in Low Earth Orbit.

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.

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.
