Solar Sails and Comet Tails: How Sunlight Pushes Stuff AroundThe Age of Sail is being revived in space with solar sails that harness sunlight for propulsion, presenting an innovative alternative to fuel-based engines.
Lightsail tech gets tailwind from Caltech breakthroughLight propulsion for space exploration is being actively researched, with NASA leading efforts using solar sails and optical forces.

NASA's solar sail is tumbling, but that's part of the planACS3 spacecraft is successfully using solar sails for propulsion and exploring future applications in space missions.
This "Antiquated" Star Trek Tech Could Actually Be The Future Of Space TravelSolar sails could be the future of efficient post-orbital spaceflight, particularly once in deep space.
