发明名称 Thruster-Solar-Sails or ThrusterRing-Spacecraft improved through additional fuel less steering/-attitude control ( - Attitude Control System - ACS ). Solar-Sail-Launch-System, consisting of a self expanding solar sail with docking station and primary fuel-less attitude control/-steering-system
摘要 Fuel less ACS for solar sails, using furl- and unfurl able ballast-sail-foil-segments for simultaneously displacement of center of mass and center of solar radiation pressure into opposite directions to each other. Solar-Sail-Launch-System for direct launch of the System-Sail including already docked in daughter units and payload in the sailcraft's central docking station. Unlike todays launch able solar sail designs the System-Sail features ample solar cell arrays and additional SEP-thruster-units for steering and propulsion, while the solar sail rather serves for longtime fuel less attitude controls and station keeping. The SEP-Sailcraft may also serve as a carrier-ship for daughter-units in asteroid exploration missions and is able to deliver prospector landers back to LEO with furled in foils.
