Maybe they can get Cosmos-2 loaded into one of the Nauka packages on the next spy satellite. Hehe.
Cool project, but I don't like that they are using a rather generic name, and one already used. Is it that the Russians launched "Kosmos-1" and now we are launching a "Cosmos-1"? |

Some news ...
- Solar sail mission to rise again? ----- The group could get the craft ready in one or two years – if they can raise about $5 million. "We're not interested in trying on the Volna again," Louis Friedman, executive director for the Planetary Society, told New Scientist. ----- -------------------- - blue_scape / Nico -
