JAXA MISSION UPDATE The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) would like to announce that we have confirmed the successful acceleration of the Small Solar Power Sail Demonstrator “IKAROS” by photon (*1) in the course of determining its precise orbit after its sail deployment. The IKAROS was launched by JAXA on May 21, 2010 and has been under operation since then. The thrust by solar light pressure is 1.12 mili-Newton (*2,) […]https://parabolicarc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ikaros_fully_deployed.jpg
