Emily reports that the sail is fully deployed & IKAROS is power-positive; congratulations to the project and to JAXA!!! smile.gif

This is truly historic; a pioneering first by any standard. Can hardly wait to hear how he (is IKAROS a he?) performs during his shakedown cruise!

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

All that needs to be done now is for IKAROS to deploy those two free-floating cameras and photograph the sail in all its beauty smile.gif
