Deterministic Trajectory Design and Attitude Maneuvers of Gradient-Index Solar Sail in Interplanetary Transfers by Marco Bassetto, Giovanni Mengali, Alessandro A. Quarta

“…A refractive sail is a special type of solar sail concept, whose membrane exposed to the Sun’s rays is covered with an advanced engineered film made of micro-prisms. Unlike the well-known reflective solar sail, an ideally flat refractive sail is able to generate a nonzero thrust component along the sail’s nominal plane even when the Sun’s rays strike that plane perpendicularly, that is, when the solar sail attitude is Sun-facing. …”
