(Rochester Institute of Technology) A Rochester Institute of Technology researcher is taking solar sailing to the next level with advanced photonic materials. This new class of materials could be used to steer reflected or transmitted photons and enable near-Earth, interplanetary and interstellar space travel. The project was selected for a phase one award from NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts program.
