Success.
From the IKAROS blog. QUOTE Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is May 21, 2010 (Japan Standard Time, as follows: Like) was launched from Tanegashima in the application of the IKAROS, June 3 Began to hoist the sail, the distance from the Earth about 770 million on October 6 km at the Sail Stretched, and was confirmed by photovoltaic power generation. Continue to measure the status of PV power generation patents or photon acceleration using a pressure We demonstrate Bisoreniyoru orbit control, navigation through the acquisition of solar sail technology QUOTE It ended with a final check image expansion operation yesterday, will announce the successful deployment of state to sail solar power. Also check the power of thin film solar cells on the surface of sail that followed, IKAROS minimum mission success achieved! For images, etc. We will also open more channels of specialized pursuit. Images. http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2010/06/20100611_ikaros_j.html#pict http://www.jspec.jaxa.jp/ikaros_channel/bn005.html While the sail doesn't really look deployed from this awkward angle, remember these cameras are near edge-on with the sail and there is a large gap between IKAROS and its sail. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)
