LightSail Completes Testing, Announcement Expected in January
LightSail has now been transferred to Cal Poly. The spacecraft will be integrated with its P-POD (Pico-PolySat Orbital Deployer) in mid-January. An announcement from The Planetary Society on the status of the 2015 test flight is expected around the same time. Following P-POD integration, the spacecraft will be taken to the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. for final acceptance testing. http://www.planetary.org/blogs/jason-davis...es-testing.html -------------------- 2011 JPL Tweetup photos: http://www.rich-parno.com/aa_jpltweetup.html
