Strong Solar Radiation Forces from Anomalously Reflecting Metasurfaces for Solar Sail Attitude Control

We examine the theoretical implications of incorporating metasurfaces on solar sails, and the effect they can have on the forces applied to the sail. This would enable a significant enhancement over state-of-the- art attitude control by demonstrating a novel, propellant-free and low-mass approach to...
