The electric solar wind sail is a propulsion system that uses the solar wind proton flow as a source of momentum for spacecraft thrust. The momentum of the solar wind is transferred to the spacecraft ...

Why ships struggle to reverse like cars
In this video, we dive into why conventional ships can’t simply reverse into tight spaces the way cars do. From rudder flow dynamics to transverse thrust and modern maneuvering systems, we reveal what ...
The shape of a rotating electric solar wind sail under the centrifugal force and solar wind dynamic pressure is modeled to address the sail attitude maintenance and thrust vectoring. The sail rig ...
