Tawaga daga Cibiyar Nazarin Langley ta NASA da abokan haɗin gwiwa daga Cibiyar Nazarin Ames ta NASA, Nano Avionics, da Laboratory Systems na Jami'ar Santa Clara suna haɓaka manufa don Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3).Na'ura mai nauyi mai nauyi mai nauyi da tsarin jirgin ruwa na hasken rana, wato, a karon farko ana amfani da tarin tarin bum din don safarar rana a kan hanya.
Ana amfani da tsarin ne ta hanyar makamashin hasken rana kuma yana iya maye gurbin roka da na'urorin motsa wutar lantarki.Dogaro da hasken rana yana ba da zaɓuɓɓuka waɗanda ƙila ba za su yiwu ba don ƙirar jirgin sama.
An ƙaddamar da haɓakar haɓaka ta hanyar 12-raka'a (12U) CubeSat, nano- tauraron dan adam mai arha mai tsada mai auna 23 cm x 34 cm kawai.Idan aka kwatanta da haɓakar ƙarfe na gargajiya na al'ada, haɓakar ACS3 yana da sauƙi 75%, kuma nakasar thermal lokacin mai zafi yana raguwa da sau 100.
Da zarar ya shiga sararin samaniya, CubeSat zai tura tsarin hasken rana da sauri kuma zai tura haɓakar haɓaka, wanda ke ɗaukar mintuna 20 zuwa 30 kawai.Jirgin ruwan murabba'in an yi shi da wani abu mai sassauƙa na polymer wanda aka ƙarfafa shi da fiber carbon kuma yana da kusan mita 9 a kowane gefe.Wannan kayan haɗin gwiwar yana da kyau don ayyuka saboda ana iya jujjuya shi don ƙaramin ajiya, amma har yanzu yana da ƙarfi kuma yana tsayayya da lanƙwasa da warping lokacin da aka fallasa ga canje-canjen zafin jiki.Kamarar da ke kan jirgin za ta yi rikodin siffa da daidaitawar jirgin ruwan da aka tura don kimantawa.
Za a iya fadada fasahar da aka ƙera don haɓakar haƙƙin haɗaɗɗiyar manufa ta ACS3 zuwa ayyukan jiragen ruwa na hasken rana na murabba'in mita 500 a nan gaba, kuma masu bincike suna aiki don haɓaka tayoyin hasken rana mai girman murabba'in murabba'in 2,000.
Makasudin aikin sun hada da samun nasarar harhada jiragen ruwa da kuma tura abubuwan hazaka masu hadewa a cikin karamar kewayawa don kimanta siffa da tsara ingancin jiragen ruwa, da kuma tattara bayanai kan aikin jirgin ruwa don samar da bayanai don ci gaban manyan tsare-tsare na gaba.
Masana kimiyya suna fatan tattara bayanai daga aikin ACS3 don tsara tsarin da za a iya amfani da su a nan gaba wanda za a iya amfani da su don sadarwa don ayyukan bincike na mutum, tauraron dan adam gargadin yanayin sararin samaniya, da kuma ayyukan binciken asteroid.
