Sunjammer team to present latest solar sail technology

Sunjammer, scheduled for launch in late 2014, is a NASA space probe that will carry the largest solar sail ever flown. The mission is designed to demonstrate the long-term potential of solar sails for spacecraft propulsion. In addition, Sunjammer will demonstrate the utility of sails to provide the earliest available warning of dangerous solar storms threatening Earth, and carry a payload of scientific instruments to study space weather.
