November 3, 2010. Abstract. Solar sails are large, lightweight mirrors that push spacecraft by the gentle pressure of reflected sunlight. In the vicinity of Earth, the gentle, continuous, fuel-free thrust of solar sails enables whole new families of orbits with a new perspective on the Earth and sun-Earth connection. Solar sails may enable early detection of space weather events that disrupt power grids, communications, and navigation. They may also enable continuous monitoring of polar weather and climate parameters, and . Chapter 17 | Study Questions. The Great Red Spot refers to:. Rocks on mars. The rings on Saturn.
