IKAROS sounds really cool, is there any website to find more info on it?

Page 3: IKAROS report 4-2
1. Mission objectives and significance The following 4 items are the main objectives 1. Large membrane expanstion (objective 1) 1.1 Extend a large 20 m membrane using the mechanism (similar) to be used with future spacecraft under zero gravity and in vacuum 1.2 Evaluate the extension mechanism and the result of expansion and relate the obtained data to analysis model 2. Power generation using the power sail 2.1 Generate power with the thin film solar power generator and confirm power generation through on-the-membrane harness 2.2 Obtain data of the generated power and evaluate characteristics 3. confirm acceralation by the solar sail membrane and check the obtained data agains the actual orbital measurement data (distance change rate by distance measurement data) (objective 2) 3.1 (there is something here, but I cannot read it, P) 3.2 Evaluate the acceralation capability and reflect the result into the orbital caluculation methods for reaching the target astronomical objects 4. Obtain navigation techiniques by solar sail operation 4.1 Confirm orbit determination techniques under solar acceralation 4.2 Confirm active control methods of photon acceralation direction vector by sail manipulation under photon pressure and obtain navigation techniques using the rsult Objective 1: minimum success Objective 2: full success P |
