Interworld Transport - SailAway Project Page:
SailAway is a project meant to provide a good solar sail structure and flight simulator that can accurately account for orbit perturbations and structural details of the sail itself on flights through the inner solar system.
The application is organized as a collection of smaller applications performing specific duties ranging from physical simulation, user interfacing, and library storage of the results produced.
The open nature of the project and the storage libraries will support academic researchers and flight planners in efforts to study solar sail missions while reducing duplication of effort and the costs associated with flight analysis tools.
