LightSail 2 Sends its First Signals Back to Earth
Unlike traditional spaceships that use rocket engines, solar photons are installed in the design of LightSail 2. If it's successful, this will be the first space sailing ship, which went into Earth orbit.
The spacecraft cameras and the impulse wheel will be checked soon. After testing, the ship will deploy a solar sail of 32 square meters.
