内容記述 | While a number of solar sail missions have been proposed recently, these missions have not been selected for flight validation. Although the reasons for non-selection are varied, principal among them is the lack of subsystem integration and ground testing. This paper presents some early results from a large-scale ground testing program for integrated solar sail systems. In this series of tests, a 10 meter solar sail tested is subjected to dynamic excitation both in ambient atmospheric and vacuum conditions. Laser vibrometry is used to determine resonant frequencies and deformation shapes. The results include some low-order sail modes which only can be seen in vacuum, pointing to the necessity of testing in that environment. |
