    Abstract : The purpose of the study is to evaluate the possibility of using gridded ion thrusters as a means of attitude control for a solar sail as a part of the sunshade project, which aims to place 10^8 solar sail sunshade spacecraft, each with an area of about 10 000 m^2, at the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L1 in order to reduce Earth's global temperature. Two types of solar sail sunshade spacecraft were studied. READ MORE
