Kei te whakawhanakehia e te tīma o te Langley Research Center o NASA me ngā hoa mahi o te Ames Research Center o NASA, te Nano Avionics, me te Robotics Systems Laboratory o te Whare Wānanga o Santa Clara tētahi kaupapa mō te Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3). He pūnaha hiato māmā me te pūnaha rā rā ka taea te whakatū, arā, mō te wā tuatahi ka whakamahia te hiato hiato mō ngā rā rā rā i runga i te ara.
E whakakahangia ana te pūnaha e te pūngao o te rā, ā, ka taea te whakakapi i ngā pūwero rōkete me ngā pūnaha whakatere hiko. Mā te whakawhirinaki ki te rā ka puta he kōwhiringa kāore pea e taea mō te hoahoa waka mokowhiti.
Ka whakatinanahia te pūma hiato e te CubeSat 12-wae (12U), he nano-satellite utu iti, he 23 cm x 34 cm anake te rahi. Ki te whakatauritea ki te pūma whakarewa tuku iho, he 75% te mama ake o te pūma ACS3, ā, ka whakaitihia te whakarerekētanga wera i te 100 ngā wā ina werahia.
Kia tae ki te wāhi, ka tere te whakatūnga o te CubeSat i te arai rā, ka whakatū hoki i te pūma hiato, e 20 ki te 30 meneti noa iho te roa. He mea hanga te rā tapawhā ki te rauemi pūmua ngāwari kua whakapakarihia ki te muka waro, ā, e 9 mita te roa i ia taha. He mea tino pai tēnei rauemi hiato mō ngā mahi nā te mea ka taea te pōkai kia iti te rokiroki, engari ka mau tonu te kaha, ā, ka ātete ki te piko me te piko ina pāngia e ngā huringa pāmahana. Ka hopukina e te kāmera o runga te āhua me te tūnga o te rā kua whakatūria hei aromatawai.
Ka taea te whakawhānui i te hangarau i whakawhanakehia mō te pūngao hiato mō te misioni ACS3 ki ngā misioni whakatere rā ā-rā o te 500 mita pūrua ā muri ake nei, ā, kei te mahi ngā kairangahau ki te whakawhanake i ngā whakatere rā ā-rā tae atu ki te 2,000 mita pūrua te rahi.
Ko ngā whāinga o te misioni ko te hanga angitu i ngā rā me te whakatū i ngā pūma hiato ki te porowhita iti hei aromatawai i te āhua me te whai huatanga o te hoahoa o ngā rā, me te kohikohi raraunga mō te mahi o te rā hei whakarato mōhiohio mō te whakawhanake i ngā pūnaha nui ake ā muri ake nei.
Ko te tumanako a ngā kaipūtaiao ki te kohikohi raraunga mai i te misioni ACS3 hei hoahoa i ngā pūnaha ā muri ake nei ka taea te whakamahi mō ngā whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mō ngā misioni tūhura tangata, ngā amiorangi whakatūpato mō te rangi ātea, me ngā misioni tirotiro whetūrangi.
