Initial proof of concept photon momentum measurements were reported at the AIAA Conference in Reno Nevada, January 8-11, 2001. That presentation verified that photon pressure on a simulated solar sail material can be measured under high vacuum conditions using a full spectrum solar simulator and a vacuum compatible force measurement system. Modifications to this test system were implemented to enhance the accuracy of the photon pressure measurement. This paper describes the photon pressure measurement technique and modifications to increase the measurement accuracy using a candidate sail material, aluminized Mylar.
