  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! 🙏👋🚀

  3. Watch NASA’s Solar Sail Reflect Brightly in the Night Sky - NASA’s ACS3 (Advanced Composite Solar Sail System) is currently fully deployed in ... - hackaday.com/2024/09/15/watch- #solarsail #science #space #news #acs3 #nasa

  4. 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.

  5. A SOLAR SAIL IS ORBITING EARTH: NASA's ACS3 solar sail was unfurled in Earth orbit last week, and it is putting on quite a show. Observers have photographed it flashing as brightly as Vega, the 5th-brightest star in the night sky. NASA is still learning to guide this "sailboat for photons." And you can see a 1.9M 65° pass in the sky tonight 9/6 all around the Westport Observatory, coming out of Earth's shadow at 8:59 in the SSE moving to the N. Spaceweather.com has more.
