Alistair,
The launch of our first LightSail
prototype is happening next week on May 20 aboard an Atlas V rocket. This
will be a test mission preparing for our 2016 LightSail launch, which will
mark the first controlled, Earth-orbit solar sail flight.
You can be a part of that 2016
LightSail mission. Join us in the adventure of space exploration and send
your selfie to space aboard LightSail!
Your selfie will travel with
LightSail as it demonstrates solar sailing, using the momentum of sunlight
to propel small spacecraft through space.
LightSail is the world's first
citizen-funded solar sail, and citizens like you made it possible.
