Space Sailing was written by Jerome Wright to publish details of the JPL Halley rendezvous study from the 1970s, as well as his own continuing work. The book discusses a rich variety of solar sail configurations, applications, and considerations to be taken in their design. Some of the topics discussed are:
- Uses for a sail at every body in the solar system (and beyond)
- Numerous possible sailing vessel designs
- Details of the fabrication and deployment of sail films
- Support structure construction
- Considerations for solar sail operation in a variety of circumstances
- Laser (and microwave) propelled solar sails for interstellar travel
See Space Sailing (2) for the book by Dorothy M. Souza.
