In Roost, the scientists with astronomical minds are obsessed with sending a space probe to Proxima B using a solar sail.
Breakthrough Starshot is a real project to send probes into outer space using lasers and solar sails
NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3.)
NASA is developing new deployable structures and materials technologies for solar sail propulsion systems destined for future low-cost deep space missions. Just as a sailboat is powered by wind in a sail, solar sails employ the pressure of sunlight for propulsion, eliminating the need for conventional rocket propellant.
