E-Sailors

Ivo Müürsepp talks solar sails and satellites in Imeline Teadus

(External link) / 02.12.2025

Our project partner, Dr. Ivo Müürsepp from Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), was recently featured in the science magazine Imeline Teadus. In a short interview, he shared insights from the E-Sailors project — a collaborative international effort to develop and test electric solar sail technology for moving satellites in space. The piece highlights how long, ultra-thin charged wires interact with the solar wind to provide continuous thrust for spacecraft, a promising frontier in space propulsion.

Check out the full story on Imeline Teadus (in Estonian) to learn more about how this cutting-edge research could shape the future of satellite missions!
