Description:
|
This book describes how to plan, compute and optimize the trajectories of sailcraft with speeds considerably higher than the Earth's orbital speed; such sailcraft would be able to explore the outer heliosphere, the near interstellar medium and the solar gravitational lens in times significantly shorter that the span of an average career.
