Abstract
This article is devoted to research the application of the spacecraft with a solar sail to support the certain climatic conditions in an area of the Mars surface. Authors propose principles of functioning of the spacecraft, intended to create a light and thermal light spot in a predetermined area of the Martian surface. The mathematical motion model in such condition of the solar sail's orientation is considered and used for motion simulation session. Moreover, the analysis of this motion is performed. Thus, were obtained parameters of the stationary orbit of the spacecraft with a solar sail and were given recommendations for further applying spacecrafts to reflect the sunlight on a planet's surface.
