The Planetary Society is collecting names and messages to be placed on its Lightsail-1 spacecraft...as well as another solar sail that will be launched with Japan's Akatsuki mission to Venus next year:

The DVD was installed on IKAROS last night.

The grammar is a bit off when you translate it on Google or Babylon.com, but you get the idea smile.gif

I think it says they received the DVD. The subsequent Tweet says it'll be mounted next week. At least that's what I think it means. The Google translation turns out a bit naughty. rolleyes.gif

I foresee many years of hilarity ahead as JAXA becomes a major player in UMSF!

The Babylon translation is even more horrendous. laugh.gif

If only there was an English version of the IKAROS Twitter page...like the main JAXA page
