内容説明
Solar sailing - using the pressure of sunlight to propel spacecraft - is the cutting edge of space technology. It has the potential to revolutionize space exploration by providing the first real opportunity for interstellar travel. Dr Friedman explains the physics of how it works, the history of how it came to be, and the possibilities for the future. He also examines solar sailing as compared to other proposed propulsion systems, such as ion drives.
