In Example 34.6, we imagined equipping 1950DA, an asteroid on a collision course with the Earth, with a solar sail in hopes of ejecting it from the solar system. We found that the enormous size required for the solar sail makes the plan impossible at this
In Example 34.6, we imagined equipping 1950DA, an asteroid on a collision course with the Earth, with a solar sail in hopes of ejecting it from the solar system. We found that the enormous size required for the solar sail makes the plan impossible at this time. Of course, there is no need to eject such an object from the solar system; we only need to change the orbit. A much more pressing problem is Apophis, a 300-m asteroid that may be...

Constants In this example we will investigate the viability of using radiation pressure to propel a spacecraft. Suppose a spacecraft with a mass of 2.50 x 10 kg has a solar sail made of perfectly reflective aluminized film with an area of 2.59 x 106 m2 (about 1 square mile). If the spacecraft is launched into earth orbit and then deploys its sail at right angles to the sunlight, what is the acceleration due to sunlight? (At the earth's distance...

Tethers are long dangling wires that use the velocity of a spacecraft through the Earth's magnetic field to generate electrical power. Alternatively, electrical currents pushed through the tether might be used to change the spacecraft velocity for either propulsion or for braking and reentry. Several 'space tether experiments have been flown to investigate the possible use if Faraday's law for power generation and/or propulsion. Examples are the 1996 joint US/Italy effort to deploy a 20 km tether from one of...
