Difference between Solar sail and Space Launch System

Solar sail vs. Space Launch System

Solar sails (also called light sails or photon sails) are a proposed method of spacecraft propulsion using radiation pressure exerted by sunlight on large mirrors. The Space Launch System (SLS) is an American Space Shuttle-derived heavy-lift expendable launch vehicle.

Similarities between Solar sail and Space Launch System

Solar sail and Space Launch System have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): CubeSat, European Space Agency, Exploration Mission 1, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Interplanetary spaceflight, Low Earth orbit, Marshall Space Flight Center, NASA, Robert Zubrin, SpaceX, The Planetary Society.

CubeSat

A CubeSat (U-class spacecraft) is a type of miniaturized satellite for space research that is made up of multiples of 10×10×10 cm cubic units.
