  1. COSMOS ONE: THE FIRST SOLAR SAIL a project of The Planetary Society with Cosmos Studios Babakin Space Center, Space Research Insitute, Makeev Rocket Design Bureau

  2. Cosmos 1 – Major Players • The Planetary Society: Louis Friedman -- Project Director • Cosmos Studios: Ann Druyan -- Project Sponsor • The Arts & Entertainment Network – Project Co-sponsor • Babakin Space Center: K. Pichkhadze, V. Kudyrashov – System • Space Research Institute, RAS: V. Linkin, V. Gotlib - Electronics • James Cantrell -- Contract Manager • Greg Delory, UCB -- Data System Manager • Bud Schurmeier -- Review Chair • Malin Space Science Systems – Imaging • Ecliptic Enterprises – Project Operations Support • Launch vehicle: Volna, from the Makeev Rocket Design Bureau • UCB Space Sciences Laboratory – additional ground station • Web Site, Public Relations – Zoomwerks, Warren Betts; and The Planetary Society staff

  3. The Stories of Cosmos 1 Russian – American friendships Swords into plowshares Non-governmental “we make it happen” organization

  4. Cosmos 1 - Goal • To achieve the first solar sail flight • All other goals are secondary • Pictures of Sail and Earth from orbit • Technological data • Duration of flight

  5. “We have lingered for too long on the shores of the cosmic ocean; it’s time to set sail for the stars.”Carl Sagan

  6. Solar SailingWhy? • Pathway to the Stars • Interplanetary travel without fuel • Gossamer technology

  7. COSMOS 1 SOLAR SAIL PROJECT THE PLANETARY SOCIETY COSMOS STUDIOS BABAKIN SCIENCE & RESEARCH CENTER SPACE RESEARCH INSTITUTE RAS VOLNA LAUNCH VEHICLEMakeev Rocket Design Bureau and Russian Navy MIRV bus(3-rd stage) LV VOLNA is being developed on the base of SLBM SS-N-18. For providing the orbital launches the LV is equipped with solid kick-motor. Payload of the LV VOLNA is accommodated in a protected capsule mounted in the warhead section of the SLBM. Payload area 2-nd stagefuel tank Performance Launch place Barents Pacific Sea Ocean Orbital type Circular Circular Orbital altitude, km 600 900 Inclination, deg 70 – 80 52 Payload mass, kg 50 50 • Basic characteristics • Number of stages ………… 3 • Launch weight, t …….…… 35.3 • Overall dimensions of LV, m: • length …………………… 14.1 • diameter ………………… 1.8 • Launch pad…….………….. submarine 2-nd stageoxidizer tank 2-nd stageengine 1-st stageoxidizer tank 1-st stagefuel tank 1-st stageengine

  9. The Launch

  10. Sub-orbital Flight Result20 July 2001 • Partial success: • New launch team developed • Payload integration and testing, accommodation • Sail payload development • Babakin adds: “launch from the submarine” • Partial failure • No deployment test

  11. COSMOS 1: THE FIRST SOLAR SAIL 2002-3 Orbital Mission

  12. Orbital Mission Parameters • Approximate initial orbit: 800 km circular • Inclination approximately 78 degrees • Ground tracking stations • Bear’s Lake (S-band), Tarusa (UHF) near Moscow • University of California, Berkeley: S-band • Possibly NOAA in Fairbanks, Alaska • Mission duration: sufficient to measure orbital energy increase in controlled flight from solar pressure (days); 1 month is design goal
