  1. Oggi, a #LineaRadioSavona con GianFunk abbiamo investigato su #acs3 un innovativo tipo di #satellite che sfrutta una #vela solare per muoversi nello spazio!

    Grazie a tutti gli ascoltatori, buon sabato a tutti! 🙏👋🚀

  5. #NASA is testing a #solar sail: a thin, 80 m² reflective sheet that uses the pressure of reflected sunlight for propulsion. During a pass, here through #UrsaMajor/ The Big Dipper, the (slowly rotating?) #ACS3 goes from bright to invisible and back, depending on the orientation of the Sun, the sail and the observer. #SpotTheSail

  9. Just saw a favorable pass of the NASA #ACS3 #SolarSail near the zenith from Tucson. At its brightest, it was around the same brightness as δ Cyg and β Ceph, both about magnitude +3. At its faintest I couldn’t see it at all (unaided-eye). Zenith brightness at the time was 19.9 mag/arcsec2. Clearly still tumbling as well.

  10. NASAの太陽セイル宇宙船が夜空で見える。観察方法を紹介

    NASAが2024年4月に打ち上げた実験的な太陽セイル衛星ACS3が夜空で見られる。太陽光の圧力を利用し、将来の大型宇宙船開発に役立つ技術をテストしている。地球上から見えるほどの明るさで、

    米国の公式アプリで観測できる情報も提供中。

  11. Good summary of what we know so far about the on-orbit appearance of the (unfurled) #ACS3. Features the results of @Marco_Langbroek to characterize the object photometrically. @nasa confirms "the spacecraft is currently tumbling".

  14. #NASA has successfully launched their Advanced Composite Solar Sail System ( #ACS3 ) into #LEO atop Rocket Lab's Electron rocket following a short delay to manage ground equipment issues. This also marks the first time Rocket Lab has reused a booster. ACS3 will be testing "new materials and deployable structures" to determine if solar wind can move the #cubesat from 600 miles altitude to higher altitudes and the materials themselves. #science #space #news gizmodo.com/watch-live-nasa-la

    I've always loved the idea of Solar sails, and now NASA is set to launch a new solar Sail system called the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3).

    It's both stiffer and lighter than the previous 2019 Light Sail 2. With a LOT of design & material changes, NASA has very high hopes.

  17. NASA's next #SolarSail mission #ACS3 will be launched by Rocket Lab!

    Launch window opens 24 April.

    ACS3 is a 9 m x 9 m solar sail with carbon-fiber composite booms.
