TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY JAPAN, 10(28) Po_4_7-Po_4_12, 2012 Peer-reviewedThis paper describes a modeling of attitude dynamics of spinning solar sail spacecraft under influence of solar radiation pressure (SRP). This method is verified and actually exploited in the attitude and trajectory guidance operation of Japanese interplanetary solar sail demonstration spacecraft IKAROS. IKAROS shows a unique attitude behavior due to strong SRP effect. This paper introduces a new generalized dynamics model called Generalized Spinning Sail Model (GSSM), which clearly explains physics behind the observed phenomena with only three parameters. Precise understanding of attitude dynamics through the GSSM led to 6 months of world first interplanetary trajectory guidance of solar sail-craft toward Venus. The GSSM also contributed to realize a zero-fuel spin axis maintenance for most of the flight path before the Venus flyby. In this paper, an overview of IKAROS attitude and trajectory control operation in the cruising phase, derivation of the proposed model and its implementation to the actual IKAROS operation are shown.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY JAPAN, 10(28) Tk_19-Tk_25, 2012Since 2008, a new plan for next Mars exploration program has been proposed and discussed by scientists and engineers in Japan. This exploration program is named MELOS, or Mars Exploration with Lander and Orbiter Synergy, a long-awaited program in the planetary science community in Japan after unsuccessful end of Nozomi Mars orbiter and ongoing challenge of Akatsuki Venus orbiter. The goal of the whole program is to understand Mars as a system, by elucidation of Martian climate, atmospheric escape, internal structure, surface environment and interaction by them. A series of missions has been planned, and several spacecraft including orbiters and landers are under discussion to be launched in early 2020's. In this paper, we investigate launch opportunities during early 2020's and estimate the payload mass in each case. Feasible interplanetary transfer trajectories from Earth to Mars are proposed. Preliminary design of insertion sequence into the Mars orbit and some orbit candidates derived from mission requirements are also shown together with numerical simulation results.

The Proceedings of Mechanical Engineering Congress, Japan, 2011 _J191063-1-_J191063-5, 2011 Peer-reviewedJapan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully achieved the world's first solar power sail technology by IKAROS (Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun) mission in 2010. It demonstrated a photon propulsion and thin film solar power generation during its interplanetary cruise. The 200m2-span sail was deployed and kept extended by centrifugal force of the spacecraft rotation. IKAROS also succeeded in accelerating and controlling the orbit by actively exploiting solar radiation pressure, and thus became the world's first actual solar sailer flying an interplanetary voyage. This paper presents the design of IKAROS solar sail system, operation results and introduces a perspective of this new technology to apply to the next generation mission toward Jupiter and Trojan asteroids.

IEICE technical report, 110(250) 155-160, Oct 20, 2010The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) makes the world's first solar power sail craft IKAROS demonstration of photon propulsion and thin film solar power generation during its interplanetary cruise. The spacecraft deploys and spans a membrane of 20 meters in diameter using the spin centrifugal force. It also deploys thin film solar cells on the membrane, in order to evaluate its thermal control property and anti-radiation performance in the real operational field. The spacecraft weighs approximately 310kg, launched together with the agency's Venus Climate Orbiter, AKATSUKI on May 21, 2010. This paper presents the summary of development and operation of IKAROS.
