Abstract
In the post operational phase of spin type solar sail “IKAROS”, a slow-spin operation and a reverse-spin operation were conducted to acquire basic knowledge of mechanics of sail membrane. The flight data indicates that the sail membrane kept its shape against the solar radiation pressure even with low centrifugal force.
