Abstract
The novel asymmetric thermoplastic polyimide (ISAS-TPI) with space environmental stability was developed. The large area polyimide thin films (φ=20m) was fabricated with various electric devices for solar/solar cell hybrid sail "IKAROS" launched on May 21, 2010. IKAROS have completely been achieved the world's first solar sail mission.
