simple concept: solar sails for rockets, has 5 uses before it breaks, but saves 20-50% of fuel from launch.
adds a battery module to the rocket as well, charges 50% of the inserted battery used to craft the module. good for starting out on a planet or a space station etc.

while extremely useful, they are also extremely expensive, suing an advanced wafer, reflective alloy (1 compressed meteoric iron, 2 compressed gold or maybe copper for sake of not having to make a new item) an advanced solar panel (t3) and a heavy duty aluminium wire.
