Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)), Sagamihara, Kanagawa Japan, We consider spacecraft length scaling as a means of enabling achieving passive, feasible infinite-impulse orbits.  Taking inspiration from the orbital dynamics of dust, this paper discusses the consequences of length scaling on acceleration due to solar radiation pressure and demonstrates its effectiveness on a candidate microscale spacecraft.  We propose to fabricate this dime-sized spacecraft on a single ultra-thin substrate of silicon.  This choice reduces the total mass to fewer than 7.5 mg and makes the spacecraft bus itself a solar sail, yielding a lightness number beta of 0.0175.  This architecture can provide passive solar sail formations and various passive methods of changing orbital energy.  The paper surveys and compares passive methods of achieving a marginally stable sun-pointing attitude including the addition of fixed vanes and optical grating of the surface.  The microscale infinite impulse (MII) spacecraft design replaces the traditional spacecraft subsystems with a single integrated circuit (IC). Our current fabrication efforts are directed at realizing this spacecraft as a simple sensing and transmitting circuit with standard IC methods., 形態: カラー図版あり, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, 資料番号: AA0064733001},
