Abstract

It is proposed to develop a small spacecraft for an experiment using high-temperature superconductors (HTS) and shape memory materials. The purpose of the experiment is to test a technological capability of creating a strong magnetic field on the small spacecraft using HTS and shape memory materials for deployed large-area structures, and study the magnetic field interaction with the solar wind plasma and the resulting force impact on the small spacecraft. This article is of a polemical character and makes it possible to take a fresh look at the applicability of new technologies in space-system engineering.
