- I have a local high school student asking me for information on Solar
- sailing. I have programs that will allow him to manipulate the sail
- if I knew how to calculate `thrusts' etc. from the photon pressure.
- Any details you care to send, primarily references, that will allow me
- to help this very bright student, I would appreciate it.
-
- Please use EMAIL. I will summarize replies that contain useful information.
