Scientific paper

This project analyzed the potential use of dielectric thin films for
solar and laser sails. Such light-pushed sails allow the possibility of
fuel-free propulsion in space. This makes possible missions of extremely
high delta-V, potentially as high as 30,000 km/sec (0.1c), which is
required for a fly-by mission to a nearby star. .
