Abstract

Solar sail spacecrafts can gain propulsion using the momentum change through reflecting the photon packets of energy from the Sun. The sail slowly but continuously accelerates to accomplish a wide-range of potential missions. To develop the potential mission of the solar sail, the configuration, the film characteristics and the deployment devices should be carefully considered. In this paper, recent development and activities of the solar sail are introduced and design technology of the sail subsystem is investigated.

태양돛은 태양 광자들의 운동량 변화를 이용하여 추력을 얻는 우주선이다. 매우 작지만 연속적인 가속도를 얻을 수 있어 태양돛은 다양한 임무를 수행할 수 있다. 효과적인 임무개발을 위해서는 태양돛의 형상, 돛의 재료 그리고 전개 장치에 따른 구조/재료적 특성뿐만 아니라 위성의 임무 궤적에 따른 자세제어 방법들을 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 태양돛의 기술발전, 태양돛 제작에 필요한 소요기술 그리고 태양돛을 이용한 향후 개발가능한 위성 임무에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.
