Magnetic sail and Magnetic plasma sail are propulsion systems that make use of the solar wind. These propulsion systems create a large magnetic field around a spacecraft and the magnetic field captures the energy of the solar wind. These propulsion systems are suited for deep space missions because it is estimated to achieve high thrust and efficiency. But there are some problems about these propulsion systems. The process of force transfering from the solar wind to the spacecraft is not understood in detail, thus the metods of estimating thrust vector and controlling thrust vector are not established. We simulated the interaction between the solar wind and the magnetic field of the spacecraft numerically, and verified the method of estimating thrust vector. Additionally we researched the methods of controlling thrust vector.
