Advances in Solar Sailing

Beschreibung

This book presents the best contributions of the the Third International Symposium on Solar Sailing Glasgow, 11 13 June 2013. It is a rapid snap-shot of the state-of-the art of solar sail technology in 2013 across the globe, capturing flight programs, technology development programs and new technology and application concepts. The book contains contributions from all of the leading figures in the field, including NASA, JAXA, ESA & DLR as well as university and industry experts. It therefore provides a unique reference point for the solar sail technology. The book also includes key contributions from the prospective users of solar sail technology, which will allow the technology to be considered by the user in this unique context.

He is also a member of the space committee of the Royal Aeronautical Society. His current research covers frontier research into visionary space systems, include the development of mission applications with advanced technologies and concepts, covering astrodynamics, mission analysis and technology requirements development, with hardware interests centred on Unmanned Autonomous Systems (UAS), covering micro /and nano-spacecraft, including CubeSats, and aircraft.
Macdonald has a diverse technical background, ranging across the complete spacecraft system and mission lifecycle. He has an on-going and extensive track-record of working with t

he European Space Agency on the technology requirements of far future science and exploration missions. He was previously a technical lead on the LISA-Pathfinder Disturbance Free Attitude Control Software, having also worked on the ADM-Aeolus control software. His work is reported in approximately 20 peer-reviewed journal papers and in many conference proceedings.
