LightSail - Flying to Other Worlds on Sunlight
Organization information
The Planetary Society
Location: Pasadena, United States of America
Summary
Help get us to the launching pad for LightSail 1! Support the LightSail solar sail spacecraft to reach space on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch in 2016. Technologies created for LightSail may enable other small, interplanetary spacecraft to achieve success. The creation and launch of CubeSats is within reach of universities and other organizations that could once only dream of flying their own missions. Longer-term, solar sailing holds the promise of propelling other larger craft to other planets!
