Solar sail propulsion systems enable a wide range of space missions that are not feasible with current propulsion technology. Hardware concepts and analytical methods have matured through ground development to the point that a flight validation mission is now realizable. Astronomical observations may play an important role in the flight validation of solar sail propulsion systems. Astrometric data and visual magnitude estimation has great potential for contributing to orbit determination, thrust performance verification, and optical model validation. This paper presents an overview of solar sail technology and proposes a collaboration between astronomical imagers and mission analysts for a flight validation mission.
