Title: ”E-Sail: Navigating the solar wind”
The E-Sail is a novel, propellant-less technology for small spacecraft to travel around the solar system. In this seminar we will explore how the E-Sail works, the new opportunities that it brings for space missions, the current state of the technology, and the development of simulation software adapted to its needs.
