Asteroids can change their orbits due to the Yarkovski effect. Due to the similarity of radiation pressure and photophoresis, the same effect can occur in a gaseous environment due to photophoresis. As photophoresis can be orders of magnitudes stronger than radiation pressure the effect can well be simulated in laboratory experiments. We present first experimental evidence from drop tower experiments backed up by numerical simulations.
