Azaroaren 16an #LightSail2 espaziontzia, #Lurra-ren atmosferan erre egin zen bere 3,5 urteko misioa osatuz. Belak, eguzkitik etorritako fotoiak harrapatzen zituen, haize bela batek mugimenduan dauden aire molekulak harrapatzen dituen bezala, espaziontzia bultzatuz.

#Espazioa

The Planetary Society's #LightSail2 spacecraft reentered the atmosphere ending a nearly 3.5 year mission to demonstrate the viability of using a solar sail

Funded by members of the non-profit and run by the #PlanetarySociety the mission started operations twice as far out as the International Space Station, used the #SolarSail for propulsion and made 8,000 orbits

It also took lots of pictures of our #PaleBlueDot

LightSail 2: Von Sonnensegel angetriebener Experimentalsatellit ist verglüht

Nur durch den Druck der Sonnenteilchen hat LightSail 2 seinen Orbit verändert. Auch wegen der zunehmenden Sonnenaktivität ist die Mission jetzt doch zu Ende.

The #LightSail2 spacecraft will ride on sunshine no more.

LightSail 2 was the first small spacecraft to demonstrate controlled solar sailing, harnessing photons from the sun to adjust its orbit.

IT's official #lightsail2 has burned up after an inspiring and very successful nearly three-and-a-half years mission demontrating solar sailing. Here's an overview plus some pictures of this project funded by tens of thousands of Planetary Society members and backers. https://www.planetary.org/articles/lightsail-2-completes-mission

Das Raumschiff #LightSail2 hat geschafft, was vorher noch nie gelang: Dank einem Sonnensegel erreichte es die höhere Erdumlaufbahn. #Raumfahrt https://www.zeit.de/wissen/2019-08/lightsail-2-kleinstellit-sonnensegel-antrieb-weltraum

Yay! Lightsail 2 is working to expectations.

MISSION SUCCESS!

We just raised our orbit around Earth using sunlight alone, something that’s never been done before.

#LightSail2 is now the highest performing solar sail to date and it's 100% crowdfunded by our members and backers!

#SpaceX #FalconHeavy #LightSail2 SpaceX launched its Falcon Heavy rocket from Cape Canaveral on a mission involving the launch of various satellites in low and medium Earth orbit. https://english.tachyonbeam.com/2019/06/25/a-success-for-the-launch-of-the-lightsail-2-solar-sail-and-many-satellites-on-spacex-falcon-heavy-rocket

Aaaah quick I gotta go catch my spacecraft
