I should have also sent this original post to the astronomy
group, where there is a chance someone might be interested.

"The Wind from the Sun" is the name of a book by Arthur Clarke
that is a collection of all 18 short stories that Clarke wrote between
1961 and Feb. 1972.
IMHO, a quite good collection (I'll tell about a few.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wind_from_the_Sun
https://www.amazon.com/Wind-Sun-Arth.../dp/0575600527
Current prices are 1 cent + 3.99 S&H.
Review = "A Clarke fan will want to own this book."
"Several little twists in the stories. Innovative ideas that were ahead
of
his time."
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...d_From_the_Sun

"The Wind from the Sun"
"Back cover teaser: "IN SPACE-Space-sailing anyone? Come ride the
sun's winds in the interstellar sailing contest of the century!" Problems
arise
for the competitors during this race to the moon."

It is also (in this book) the name of what I considered a very
interesting and pleasant short story (also named elsewhere
as 'Sunjammer')
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunjammer
"Algis Budrys praised the story as an example of "good, solid science
fiction .
. . the kind of story which justifies the existence of science fiction as
a
genre."

I will admit, I just can not fully comprehend how to maneuver
a vessel moved by the sun's rays, when you do not have
the friction of the hull or a keel in water.
But, it is obviously correct and possible and described he
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail

Again, IMHO, this is a great story.

It was first published in _Boy's Life_ as the cover story:

Yes. As I was preparing the original post, I did look at
the Google Images, and saw that image of the space vessel,
and two other drawings done of the same.
Certainly different that what I'd imagined in my mind.
But very workable from Clarke's words (although with the
'greenhouse', in sunlight, might get hard to sleep!).
