“…Instead it aligned its solar arrays towards the Sun to use the low solar radiation pressure for attitude control. This technique is still used, the geostationary communications satellites Eurostar E3000 and Intelsat use small solar sails and gyroscopic momentum wheels for on-station attitude control [156]. In 1984, Forward [39] proposed to use solar-powered laser power systems with 1000-km-diameter to push light sails of 3.6-km-diameter for missions to α-Centauri.…”
