The electric solar wind sail, or electric sail for short, is a propulsion invention made in 2006 at the Kumpula Space Centre by Pekka Janhunen. For E-sail related news, please see the electric sail blog (it is in Finnish, but carries a Translate button to your language). See also the continuously updated list of scientific papers and the list of Frequently Asked Questions... The Finnish startup company Aurora Propulsion Technologies Oy is commercialising electric sail and the closely related plasma brake technology... The electric sail is a new space propulsion concept which uses the solar wind momentum for producing thrust (Janhunen, P., Electric sail for spacecraft propulsion, AIAA Journal of Propulsion and Power, 20, 4, 763-764, 2004, Janhunen, P. and A. Sandroos, Simulation study of solar wind push on a charged wire: solar wind electric sail propulsion, Ann. Geophys., 25, 755-767, 2007). The electric sail is somewhat similar to the more well-known solar radiation pressure sail..
