Advances in Low-Cost Manufacturing and Folding of Solar Sail Membrane

Solar sail membranes must have a high area-to-mass ratio and high solid volume fraction when stowed. In order to meet mission requirements, current solar sail projects, such as the NASA Near Earth Asteroid Scout and Advanced Composite Solar Sail System, require metallized sail membranes with thickne...
