Magnetic Sail is a propulsion system making use of the solar wind for deep space exploration missions. The interaction between the solar wind and the magnetic field of Magnetic Sail was simulated based on magnetohydrodynamics for various attack angles, and propulsive characteristics of Magnetic Sail were analyzed. When the attack angle is 90 degrees, the thrust is maximum: the drag coefficient (non-dimensional thrust value) is about 5, and when the attack angle is 30 degrees, the maximum steering angle (12 degrees) is obtained. The thrust direction of Magnetic Sail is stable only when the attack angle is 0 degree, whereas Magnetic Sail experiences a torque for other attack angles.
