Authors:Hendrik Willem Jordaan, Willem Herman Steyn (Submitted on 29 Oct 2019) Abstract: Recent successes in the deployment of sails in space have reduced the risk associated with solar sailing missions. The attitude control requirements for a solar sailing mission is low with only slow attitude maneuvers needed to maintain a stable attitude and produce a required solar thrust. Future science missions will require large attitude maneuvers with a fully deployed sail.
