EnglishInflated spherical light sails have been considered to push ultra-light nanocrafts at a significant fraction of light speed. The purpose of this study is to perform a first approximation study of the deformed shape of an inflated spherical light sail riding on a laser beam. A numerical analysis has been conducted to study the effect of sail reflectivity and beam configuration on sail’s deformation. The results of this preliminary investigation can be used as an input for further and more detailed analysis of sail stability.

A numerical analysis has been conducted to study the effect of sail reflectivity and beam configuration on sail’s deformation.
