Solar sailcraft offer enabling capabilities for achieving future space physics mission objectives. These sailcraft will be the largest platforms that space physics missions will potentially use. The electromagnetic interaction of the sailcraft with the local environment is of keen interest. Plasma measurement strategies for a validation mission and for operational missions are discussed.
