title = "Analysis of membrane dynamics using multi-particle model for solar sail demonstrator {"}IKAROS{"}",
abstract = "Japan Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched a powered solar sail {"}Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun (IKAROS){"} on May 21, 2010. One of the primal technologies demonstrated at IKAROS is the deployment of the sail whose diameter is 20m class. After the launch, IKAROS performed the deployment sequence and have confirmed that the membrane was successfully expanded. In this paper, the flight data and observed dynamic motion via deployment are reported. These are compared with the results of numerical simulations using multi-particle model, and the accuracy and availability of this model is discussed.",
