Document Abstract
In this paper, we have investigated the dependence of characteristic acceleration and design sensitivity function
of solar sail on mass and area of solar sail by solving the dynamics of solar sails using electromagnetic treatment of
Maxwell’s and quantum mechanics of Einstein’s theories. It is found that the solar sail with large area A, fewer payloads
mass mp and sail loading r would be best for distribution in space to meet the new avenues of space science. It has also
been observed that higher relative characteristic acceleration procured by using sail of large area with low density sail film
as much as possible, which is our requirement for mission of solar sail.
