Between February and September 2001, a number of aspects of the solar-sail launched Interstellar probe (ISP), which is under consideration by NASA for launch in the 2010-2015 timeframe, were researched. The effort was conducted in New York City (NYC) February-May, at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) May-July (when the PI served as a NASA Summer 2001 Faculty Fellow), and in NYC August-September. In addition to the people listed on the title sheet, many people in NYC and at MSFC participated in this research.
