Abstract
The solar collector (SC), a two-sail solar-photon thruster utilized to concentrate solar energy, is a possible method to deflect Earth-threatening near-Earth objects (NEOs). This paper expands an existing SC model to categorize SC performance as a function of parameters including NEO composition, solar distance and rotation.
