MESSENGER is solar sailing its way in to Mercury, according to this article.
Things should start to pick up in earnest soon. |

MESSENGER is solar sailing its way in to Mercury, according to this article. This is a very exciting navigational technique, at least until a true solar sail will be developed... I wonder if is really new or if someone used it in previous missions? -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
