Scientific paper
This paper is concerned with the stability of carbon fiber sail structures that are being studied in a series of experiments at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) by a team led by Microwave Sciences, Inc. The passive dynamic stability in the one-dimensional (1-D) case is most easily understood in terms of the fixed points of the trajectories for the governing equations of motion. The simple 1-D model introduces the possibility of controlling a microwave-propelled sail using various nonlinear control strategies. This work will be extended in the future to control the full 3-D case. We present results of studies from the 1-D analysis. In addition to providing guidance to ongoing and near term proof-of-principle experiments, this work will lead to novel strategies for enabling a feedback power controller to maintain a sail fixed at a predetermined height. .
