Some New Locally Optimal Control Laws for Sailcraft Dynamics in Heliocentric Orbits

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 cont...
