Heliocentric Orbital Repositioning of a Sun-Facing Diffractive Sail with Controlled Binary Metamaterial Arrayed Grating

This paper investigates the performance of a spacecraft equipped with a diffractive sail in a heliocentric mission scenario that requires phasing along a prescribed elliptical orbit. The diffractive sail represents an evolution of the more traditional reflective solar sail, which converts solar radi...
