This paper presents the extended missions of the IKAROS solar sail interplanetary spacecraft. IKAROS entered an extended operation phase at the beginning of 2011. During this phase, its spin rate was reduced to observe deformation of the sail membrane under low centrifugal forces, and on Oct. 18, 2011 the spin was reversed to enhance knowledge of the membrane's stiffness against solar radiation pressure. We also investigated changes in IKAROS's attitude motions under reverse spin conditions. At the end of 2011, IKAROS switched to hibernation mode due to an increased Sun angle reducing on-board electricity generation. We later searched for IKAROS considering its attitude and orbital motion during hibernation, and on Sep. 6, 2012, we succeeded in locating the spacecraft, which came out of hibernation.A solar power sail can be part of a hybrid propulsion system, with electrical power generated by thin-film solar cells on a solar sail membrane being used to operate ultra-high specific impulse ion engines. This paper also introduces a follow-on mission to IKAROS, a round trip to the Trojan asteroid using hybrid electric photon propulsion.
