lightsail_image_sail

This afternoon, LightSail mission controllers downlinked a partial image of the spacecraft’s solar sails in space. The scene, which is scrambled and partially blank because the entire image has not been downloaded, was captured during a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo overflight today at about 1:50 p.m. EDT (17:50 UTC). At the time, LightSail’s ground track was carrying the spacecraft across the southwestern United States through the Gulf of California.

LightSail telemetry

DK3WNLeave a comment

Sail is deployed. That telemetry resets whenever the spacecraft reboots, so it is no longer a good indicator of sail deploy. We are expecting a 2-3 day lifetime. Ted Molczan has put up a good LightSail tracking page at http://www.satobs.org/LightSail-A.html. The optical tracking imagery is starting to trickle in. For example, see https://twitter.com/cgbassa/status/607747148889866240
