Transmissive solar sailing

Uniquely, solar sails are a means of accelerating a spacecraft via ambient space radiation rather than onboard propellant. In principle, this allows for continuous acceleration, and for the attaining of higher velocities than a reaction engine may achieve. These sails are also amongst the most susta...
