Abstract

This paper discusses interplanetary travel, especially flight to the asteroids, by means of spacecraft which use solar sail instead of an engine and a propellant. The design model of the solar sail spacecraft “Helios” which created in computer-aided design system is described. The mathematical motion model for such type of spacecraft is considered and used for motion simulation session. The simulation of flight to the potentially hazardous asteroid is performed with the aid of special software complex which is developed for the purpose of this work
