The Stories of Cosmos 1 Swords into plowshares Russian – American friendships 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

COSMOS 1 SOLAR SAIL PROJECT VOLNA LAUNCH VEHICLE Makeev Rocket Design Bureau and Russian Navy 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.

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
