"Konstantin Tsiolkovsky may have begun to ponder the physics of rocket-propelled spaceflight as early as the 1870s ... [and was also] one of the first to propose solar sailing as a non-rocket form of space travel."

#Solarsails enable missions to observe the solar environment from unique vantage points, such as sustained observations away from the Sun-Earth line; sub-L1 station keeping; high inclination solar orbits; etc. Recent and planned demonstration missions make this technology ready for use on near-term science mission: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.01297
