  • SatTrackCam Leiden (b)log: A glimpse of the ACS 3 Solar Sail bus
    On 23 March 2024, Rocket Lab launched the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3), a NASA solar sail experiment. The main goal of the mission is to test the deployment of a 80 m2 (9 x 9 meter) solar sail from a 12U cubesat bus. The sail will be deployed late May or early June 2024, i.e. some 2 months after the launch. ACS3 (2024-077B) is in a 97.4 deg inclined, 993 x 1023 km sun-synchronous orbit.

    There are many interesting articles on this blog which I discovered thanks to a link on Paolo Amoroso's blog https://journal.paoloamoroso.com/blogroll
