Original design by the Canadian Solar Sail Project for a proposed race to the moon in 1992 in honor of the 500 year anniversary of Columbus reaching the Americas. This sail has six sections and steers by tilting the segments of the sail like a Venetian blind to change the direction sunlight pushes on the sail. This picture is by Paul Fjeld, an artist/engineer who creates illustrations for the Canadian Space Agency, and was contributed by Christopher Neufeld.
