Three-Dimensional Rapid Orbit Transfer of Diffractive Sail with a Littrow Transmission Grating-Propelled Spacecraft
A diffractive solar sail is an elegant concept for a propellantless spacecraft propulsion system that uses a large, thin, lightweight surface covered with a metamaterial film to convert solar radiation pressure into a net propulsive acceleration. The latter can be used to perform a typical orbit tra...
