The Solar Sail market is a subset of the Space Systems, Satellites and Launchers industry. Solar sails are a type of spacecraft propulsion system that uses the radiation pressure of sunlight to propel a spacecraft. This technology has been used to launch small satellites into orbit, as well as to explore the outer reaches of the solar system. Solar sails are also used to de-orbit satellites, allowing them to be safely disposed of in space. Solar sails are becoming increasingly popular due to their low cost and low environmental impact. Solar sails are typically made from a lightweight, reflective material such as Mylar or Kapton. The sails are deployed in space and then propelled by the pressure of sunlight. This technology has been used to launch CubeSats, small satellites that are used for a variety of applications, including Earth observation, communications, and scientific research. Companies in the Solar Sail market include The Aerospace Corporation, NanoAvionics, L'Garde, Inc., and Interorbital Systems. These companies are involved in the design, manufacture, and deployment of solar sails for a variety of applications. Show Less Read more
