This paper reviews solar sail trajectory design and dynamics, attitude control, and structural
dynamics. Within the area of orbital dynamics, methods relevant to transfer trajectory design …

Abstract Space sails are a continuum of lightweight, thin, large-area, deployable
technologies which are pushing forward new frontiers in space mobility and exploration …

We investigate the unique mechanical properties of reentrant 3D origami structures based
on the Tachi-Miura polyhedron (TMP). We explore the potential usage as mechanical …

负泊松比材料和结构具有特殊的力学性能, 在单轴压力(拉力) 作用下发生横向收缩(膨胀).
其在抗剪承载力, 抗断裂性, 能量吸收和压陷阻力等方面比传统材料更有优势 …

JAXA launched the world's first deep space solar sail demonstration spacecraft “IKAROS” on
May 21, 2010. IKAROS was injected to an Earth–Venus trajectory to demonstrate several …

We introduce a metamaterial-based self-deployable system with a rotational periodicity. As a
demonstration, we propose an autonomous solar panel array that is programmed to self …

Abstract Space debris is growing dramatically with the rapid pace of human exploration of
space, which seriously threatens the safety of artificial spacecraft in orbit. Therefore, the …

Auxetic materials and structures have special mechanical properties. In contrast to
traditional materials, auxetic materials contract (expand) under uniaxial compression …

This work is devoted to generating optimal guidance commands in real time for attitude-
constrained solar sailcrafts in coplanar circular-to-circular interplanetary transfers. Firstly, a …

In the recent decade, computational tools have become central in material design, allowing
rapid development cycles at reduced costs. Machine learning tools are especially on the rise …
