This paper discusses a mission design concept that uses high-power solar electric propulsion (SEP) to re-direct one asteroid into the path of another, generating a low-velocity impact as a means of studying solar system evolution. In order to validate existing models and gain fur

A heliogyro is a solar sail concept that divides the solar sail membrane into a number of long, slender blades of film extended from a central hub, maintained in a flat state through spin-induced tension. The heliogyro can redirect and scale the solar radiation pressure (SRP) for
