.@exploreplanets's #LightSail2 raised the apogee of its orbit by 1.7 km within four days of deploying a 32-square-meter solar sail. Engineers determined the spacecraft went to a higher orbital altitude just from the push of sunlight. spacenews.com/planetary-soci…


Did Planetary Society @exploreplanets get a @NOAA license for their #LightSail2 Earth imagery? #NOAA regulates imagery of Earth taken from space and requires licenses nesdis.noaa.gov/CRSRA/files/19… @SpaceX had to get a license for its Falcon camera imagery of Earth. Just wondering.

These Planetary Society members traveled all the way from Austria to see #LightSail2 launch in person. How did you experience the launch?


And the answer is yes they did - here's a link nesdis.noaa.gov/CRSRA/files/li… #lightsail2

After over 3 yrs circling Earth, #PlanetarySociety’s #LightSail2 mission (newatlas.com/lightsail2-sol…?) has come to an end following a fiery reentry. This was an important tech demo for idea of solar sailing, which could eventually propel spacecraft to other stars.


Si comme moi, vous êtes membre de The Planetary Society (@exploreplanets), vous faites également partie de l'équipe de la mission #LightSail2. Cette mission est une initiative spatiale civile, rendue possible grâce au soutien de ses membres.


Après 3 ans dans l'espace, #LightSail2 est entré dans l'atmosphère terrestre et s'est désintégré comme prévu le 17 novembre, accomplissant avec succès sa mission de démonstration de vol grâce à la lumière pour des petits vaisseaux spatiaux. planetary.org/articles/light…


I backed this project on Kickstarter. Really glad to have had an opportunity to contribute to the development of solar sailing technology. Congratulations Planetary Society on the conclusion of an extremely successful mission @exploreplanets #lightsail2 #solarsail #cubesat

This compilation of images taken by LightSail 2 from orbit captures some of the beauty of this remarkable mission. #ThankYouLightSail

I just met Bill Nye! He taught me how to take a selfie, & was kind enough to point out the lens. Upon seeing the photo & his perfect finger placement, he said, “Oh man, that’s really perfect. That’s perfect.” Thanks, @BillNye! Good luck with Monday’s launch of #LightSail2.
