A NASA mission testing a new way of navigating our solar system is ready to hoist its sail into space—not to catch the wind, but the propulsive power of sunlight. The Advanced Composite Solar Sail System is targeting launch on Tuesday, April 23 (Wednesday, April 24 in New Zealand) aboard a Rocket Lab Electron rocket from the company's Launch Complex 1 on the Mahia Peninsula of New Zealand.
The ACS3 is super compact – about the size of a microwave oven. However, it has four retractable booms that unfurl and hold four triangular sails, making a diamond shape about half the size of a tennis court. It takes about 25 minutes for the sails to unfold.Read Entire Article
