I am working hard to make the blog informative.<br /><br />ISRO is currently working on necessary technologies for deep space explorations (like asteroid and comet flyby). Solar sails have been used by ISRO before on multi-purpose INSAT sats for producing moment to balance the tilting force due to solar radiation pressure on the sat's asymmetric solar arrays. As far as deep space exploration is concerned, currently they are not in the menu as ISRO is exploring ion propulsion and nuclear propulsion for deep space exploration. I will find time and post on this.
