The trajectory analysis of a small solar sail demonstration spacecraft (Ikaros) is investigated including the uncertainties of the sail's reflectivity and attitude. This spacecraft is assumed to be launched in 2010, and its goal is to control the solar sail trajectory in the interplanetary space. Since solar sail spacecraft is accelerated by solar photons, the sail's reflectivity and its attitude have a significant effect on the trajectory. Therefore, orbit determination for detecting the small force of solar sail is required considering the uncertainty of reflectivity and orientation of the sail. The effect of reflectivity and attitude uncertainty are investigated by comparing the trajectory changing those parameters.
