The Light Sails vs. the D.E.W.
A light sail, also known as a solar sail, is a spacecraft propulsion method that uses light itself—whether from the Sun or a powerful laser—as the driving force. Instead of traditional engines, it relies on the momentum of photons (particles of light) striking the surface of a large, reflective sail.
