• Survey of Highly Non-Keplerian Orbits with Low-Thrust Propulsion (2011, background): “requires no propellant/fuel, and thus can maintain continuous low thrust indefinitely (in theory, at least – in practice, long-term degradation of the optical surface may reduce the efficiency of the sail [56, 57]).”
