The Electric Solar Wind Sail (E-sail) project develops a novel propulsion technology that uses solar wind for spacecraft thrust. This method aims to significantly reduce the mass and cost of space missions while being environmentally friendly.
The Electric Solar Wind Sail (E-sail) is a recent invention of ultra-efficient propellantless in-space propulsion technology.
It uses the solar wind charged ions as natural source for producing spacecraft thrust.
The E-sail is composed of a set of long, thin, conducting and positively charged tethers which are centrifugally stretched from the main spacecraft and kept electrically charged by an onboard electron gun powered by solar panels.The E-sail concept is an enabling technology for reducing…
