• The orbital dynamics of magnetoplasma sail (MPS) is investigated focusing on the required acceleration for escape from the solar system. One of the main features of the MPS propulsion system is that the thrust in confined to anti-sun direction. This motivates the study of the orbital motion under an outward continuous radial acceleration as a function of the distance from the central body. Two representative cases in terms of the MPS power system are analyzed; one is the constant radial acceleration case, and the other assumes the radial acceleration inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance. The former corresponds to constant power case such as radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) system, while the latter corresponds to the case assuming solar paddle for the MPS power system.
