The purpose of the project is to develop a solar sail and improve the maneuverability of solar sail by developing a control mechanism to enhance the maneuverability of the solar sail. The solar sail is modeled using CATIA V5 and SolidWorks. Considering the solar sail design parameters from the previous work. The size of the solar sail is 150 m × 150 m. The materials chosen for the boom is M5 fiber and for the sail is mylar. The control mechanism is designed. The overall design of the solar sail can perform various manipulations to more effectively avoid space debris, astronomical objects, and corrections and changes in direction.
