Abstract EN
The concept of solar sailing and its developing spacecraft is presented.
The gravitational and solar radiation forces are considered.
The effect of source of radiation pressure and the force due to coronal mass ejections and solar wind on the sailcraft configurations is modeled.
Some analytical control laws with some mentioned input constraints for optimizing sailcraft dynamics in heliocentric orbit using lagrange’s planetary equations are obtained.
Optimum force vector in a required direction is maximized by deriving optimal sail cone angle.
Ignoring the absorbed and diffusely reflected parts of the radiation, some special cases are obtained.
New control laws that maximize thrust to obtain certain required maximization in some particular orbital element are obtained.
