Great picture of the fully deployed sail here (in case there's anyone at umsf.com who doesn't check Emily's blog several times a day.)
Are there any specs on how long the camera is expected to remain within wireless range? And what's the plan for the second camera? I like punkboi's suggestion of "a wide shot of IKAROS in deep space, with Venus in the background." TTT |
