SailCraft
a solar sail spacecraft bus.
Offering in-space mobility no other spacecraft bus can. Using continuous low thrust, SailCraft can deliver your payload to a wide range of orbits and extend your mission lifespan.
Sailing in Space
All-new Vantage Points
Access orbital slots that are off-limits to traditional spacecraft.
Regret-free Maneuvering
Adjust anytime with no onboard fuel budget or second thoughts.
On-demand Control
Adapt software-defined functionality and retask on the fly.
Using Sunlight
Our solar sail spacecraft bus uses the Sun's light to generate thrust. Your mission isn't constrained by propellant because our bus doesn't use any.
Boom length
25m
Sail area
1250m^2
Propellant
None
Delta-V
Unlimited
Long-range missions
Station Keeping
RPO
Multiple Rendezvous
Orbital Transfers
Long-duration missions
Deorbiting
Solar Sail Spacecraft Bus
Spacecraft Bus
The main bus consists of the bus structure, onboard computer, communication system, power management system, thermal control system, attitude control system, and the solar sail propulsion system.
Solar Sail
The sail itself is a thin, lightweight material which captures solar radiation pressure to generate thrust. It's stowed in the main bus during launch and hoisted once the spacecraft is in orbit.
Payload
The main bus is modularly designed and includes a payload-agnostic empty volume which is scalable to meet your mission needs.
