To verify the momentum transfer process from the solar wind to the spacecraft, we simulated the interaction between the solar wind and the artificial magnetic field of Magnetic Sail using magnetohydrodynamic model. The result showed the same plasma flow and magnetic field structure as those of the Earth. The change of the solar wind momentum results in a pressure distribution on the magnetopause. The pressure on the magnetopause is then transferred to the spacecraft through the Lorentz force between the induced current along the magnetopause and the current along the coil of the spacecraft. The simulation successfully demonstrated that the solar wind momentum is transferred to the spacecraft via the Lorentz force. The drag coefficient (thrust coefficient) of the Magnetic Sail was estimated to be 5.0., 資料番号: AA0063157009, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-06-014}, pages = {111--121}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)}, title = {MHD study on pure Magnetic Sail}, volume = {JAXA-SP-06-014}, year = {2007} }
