Characteristics of solar sail deriving its propulsive force from pressure due to sun's light falling on sail, such as aluminum foil or thin plastic sheet silvered or aluminized; equations of motion solved, sail tilt angle optimized, time of travel computed, and performance compared with that of chemical rocket and ionic propulsion systems; graphs showing sail settings for trip to Venus and Mars.
