摘要

With this patent specification, which has already been described in two first inert treated thruster - solar - sailor supplemented by additional devices and methods and improves.In particular, by division of the solar sail in a plurality of sail tracks, with electric motors operated rollers are fastened, the automatic setting and reefing also of excessive solar sails made possible in combination with additional winches.The previously as the most important obstacle, the use of large solar sailor which folds, and to install the complete of sails in space is thus avoided.Likewise, the world space assembly of excessive solar sailor by the introduction of a rigid the inside ring structure with an integrated power supply and an adjusting device supplemented. This consists of the previously known central docking - and charging station, the rings attached thereto for receiving solar cells - array and other accessories is surrounded and on which winches are fastened, which allow the inner ring structure in the center of the sailor to adjust.A mobile, even air-floatable thruster unit, which in the inner ring - construction, a - and undocking may be, allows the previously on low thrust drives limited design of the thruster ring - spacecraft and - solar sailor about the option of the additional use of stronger types of drive to expand.
