abstract = "Planetary Societys LightSail-2 mission successfully validated the
orbital maneuvering capability of a Solar Radiation Pressure
propelled spacecraft. This paper presents a study on alternative
attitude strategies for the orientation of its solar sail with the
goal of increasing the spacecrafts orbital maneuverability and its
capacity of gaining altitude. Simulations with the use of
Planetary Societys published strategy were made and compared with
one that keeps the orientation of the solar sail at a direction
that maximizes the spacecrafts specific orbital energy gain. A
third strategy was proposed, with an additional goal of reducing
the number of attitude maneuvers. Results show that it is possible
to enhance the altitude gain of the spacecraft and improve the
propelling influence of a solar sail while still reducing the
number of maneuvers necessary to change the spacecrafts
attitude.",
