Sun Skimming: A Feasibility Study for Interstellar Travel

Author(s) Mr. Soham Mukherjee
Country India
Abstract This paper researches upon a novel approach of using solar sails for interstellar travel, by a process called “Sun Skimming”. Sun Skimming refers to approaching the Sun closely, in order to gain acceleration, from high radiation pressure at the Perihelion. The paper addresses radiation shielding, weight of probe, factors affecting Δv and acceleration, crossing time of Solar Perihelion and the nearest distance of the Perihelion from the Sun, where the satellite can sustain the extreme heat and radiation.
