Scientific paper

This paper shows that current or near-term technology together with the H-reversal mode for solar sailing would allow designing a 22-year flight-time mission to the minimum Solar Gravitational Lens (550 AU from the Sun). Sailcraft mass can be as low as 345 kg with a net payload of 100 kg. Al-Cr sail is 0.287 km2 large and 0.14 μm thick. Sailcraft mass breakdown and trajectory profiles are detailed. .
