Passive Spin-Stabilised Solar Sailing for CubeSat Heliocentric Escape
Project Svarog is a student-led initiative at Imperial College London aiming to reach the heliopause using a CubeSat-class spin-stabilised solar-sail demonstrator. Small spacecraft are increasingly being considered for missions to extreme heliocentric distances, including NASA’s Solar Gravitational Lens concept at a starting 550 AU focal line. Recent missions have also highlighted the difficulty of maintaining…
