 This is a very comprehensive book on all aspects of solar sailing. The first chapter is a borad summary discussing principles, history, practicality, applications, and future direction. The following chapters go into great depth - both in discussion and mathematics - on light pressure, design (including many historical designs) and steering, orbital mechanics, "non-Keplerian" orbits, mission case studies, and laser-driven sails.

		+	This is the follow-on book to "Gossamer Spacecraft" (described above) discussing recent work in gossamer and inflatable spacecraft technology. Specifically, Chapter 5 "Solar Sail Propulsion Technology Development" discusses solar sail technology advancement conducted under NASA's In-Space Propulsion Technologies solar sail program resulting in the ground deployment of two 20-m solar sails in a vacuum chamber. This work is precusory to actual flight validation which is currently being studied under the NASA New Millenium Program ST-9.
