The research and curiosity about outer space had been always constant. Looking for others planets, ways, civilizations wherever the exploration of the space will be a thing which the human desire. The challenge here for several years was the obtaining energy sufficient for the application of the missions. So, presently the major objective in the missions is offer more autonomy to the spacecrafts and consequently to lower the cost of the missions. Solar Sails have long been envisaged as an enabling technology because is a promising low-cost option for space exploration for it uses for propulsion an abundant resource in space: solar radiation. In this paper a simple model of solar sail is shown and studied your performance of Control System.
