Abstract

The research is dealing with the motion of spacecraft with solar sail which is under different state of movement. This paper studies the motion of spacecraft when solar sail is under stable rotation in two-dimensional plane, and when the solar sail is under the regular twist of sail’s surface in three-dimensional space. The results show that under certain conditions of solar sail movement, the spacecraft can escape from the sphere of the Earth’s influence in both two and three dimensions.
