NASA solar wind sail

Показать описание
It took the Voyager 1 spacecraft over three decades to leave the solar system (and scientists still aren’t sure when it did). We need a new method of propulsion that will transport spacecraft faster than ever before. NASA is one of a few agencies developing a new way to sail through space, on the power of the solar wind.

Please note that the E-sail and the solar sail are two different things. The E-sail is pushed by the solar wind, not by photons.

this video doesn't know what it's talking about. The electric sail is not powered by photons, it is powered by charged particles from the sun. I learned this from more detailed videos...

How ignorant of physics you have to be to claim that light (i.e. photons) are made of charged particles??? How can you make such an mistake? 😡
