Nomenclature A = reference area, m a1;2;3 = characteristic optical sail coefficients B = Lambertian coefficients FXSF = transverse component of the solar radiation pressure force acting on the sail, N FZSF = normal component of the solar radiation pressure force acting on the sail, N h = offset, m k1;2 = solar radiation pressure torque coefficients P = solar radiation pressure, N∕m R = sail radius, m s = fraction of specular reflection TSRP = solar radiation pressure torque, N · m α = right ascension of the spacecraft spin axis, deg βS = solar cone angle, deg δ = declination of the spacecraft spin axis, deg e = sail’s firm emissivities η = deflection angle of the sail from the spin plane, deg ξ = torsion angle of local elements of the sail, deg ρ = reflection coefficient
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 9 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Top 10% | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Top 10% |
