DESIGN AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A SMALL-SCALE SOLAR SAIL PROTOTYPE BY INTEGRATING NITI SMA AND CARBON FIBRE COMPOSITE

Design and Characterization of a Small-Scale Solar Sail Prototype by Integrating NiTi SMA and Carbon Fibre Composite

Solar sails are propellantless systems where the propulsive force is given by the momentum exchange of reflecting photons.In this study, a self-deploying system based on NiTi hat band shape memory wires and sheets has been designed and manufactured.A small-scale prototype of solar sail with carbon fibre loom has been developed.Different configurati
