NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail system has deployed in low Earth orbit! It’s testing technology to use the tiny force of sunlight — roughly equivalent to the weight of a paperclip resting on your palm — to overcome drag and gain altitude. More:

I wonder if the design could benefit from a lense or mirror fixed to it to concentrate flow from the Sun.

FFS I helped crowd funded a solar sail satellite that proved this 4 years ago. Go see light sail from the Planetary Society. So sad from you.

I legitimately have a concept for solar sail tech, been trying to get in touch with Space x but had no luck. NASA, hear me out!

For NASA’s next generation of deep space exploration missions, spacecraft may need to refuel in Earth orbit before pushing farther into the solar system. Engineers from #NASAMarshall and L3Harris are testing a technology vital for in-orbit refueling:

NASA's solar sail spacecraft is testing a new way to navigate the solar system using the power of sunlight. The spacecraft was launched aboard a Rocket Lab rocket and moves without conventional fuel. In the future, this technology could allow spacecraft to reach Mars in as little as 26 days.

The seasons of the Sun 🌿☀️🍂❄️ Just as Earth has seasons, our Sun moves from times of frequent eruptions to stretches of relative quiescence. It’s all part of the roughly 11-year solar cycle. Learn more in this new installment of NASA’s Illuminate series! 👇

The UK is pushing solar power despite having some of the lowest sunlight levels in the world. Northern Britain receives less sunshine than Canada. According to a World Bank solar resource assessment, the UK ranks among the least suitable countries for solar generation, second only to Ireland in Europe. Low sunlight means low output and greater reliance on backup power. Moreover, the UK government has approved solar geoengineering research - experiments designed to dim incoming sunlight. So the policy is this: build solar in a low sunlight country, while exploring ways to block the sun.

NASA’s Artemis II is on the way to the moon after a successful lift-off in Florida. It’s the first crewed mission beyond low-Earth orbit in more than 50 years. So, how long will it take to reach its destination?

Elon Musk: Thanks to Starship, we'll be able to move AI to deep space. “I see a path to Starship cost-per-ton-to-orbit being lower than air flight. That opens up a very wide range of possibilities. The most obvious one I think is actually solar-powered AI satellites. So, to move the AI to orbit and essentially deep space over time, because you can actually access over a billion times more energy from the sun in deep space than you can on Earth. To scale to Kardashev, to make any progress on a Kardashev 2 scale, which is using some non-trivial amount of energy from the sun, you kind of have to do space solar power. You could only beam a tiny amount of that back to Earth or you would melt Earth. Earth actually receives a very, very tiny amount of the sun's energy. I mean, Earth is a tiny dust mote. Earth, to scale with the sun, we look like a little crumb. So, to scale civilization, to be at all relevant on a Kardashev 2 scale, like to even use a millionth of a percent of the Sun's energy, you really have to have your solar power in deep space.” Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6, 2025

In order to advance NASA’s spacewalking capabilities in low Earth orbit and to support continued maintenance and operations at the International Space Station, NASA is getting a next-generation spacesuit! Developed by Collins Aerospace, the company has been making progress on the design of its spacesuit and recently completed a key NASA design milestone aboard a commercial microgravity aircraft.

Sun vs. comet! ☀️⚔️☄️ In October 2025, comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) was passing by the Sun when our star launched a counterattack — a blast of solar particles that ripped the comet’s tail in half! NASA’s PUNCH mission (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) captured the action from Earth orbit, imaging comet Lemmon every 4 to 8 minutes over three months. PUNCH’s data make up one of the longest and most detailed records ever captured of a comet interacting with the Sun. Check it out! 👀 NASA’s Illuminate: Out-of-this-world images shining light on our Sun and solar system. #NASAsIlluminate #NASA #sun #space #science

Elon really put into perspective just how insanely massive the Sun is compared to Earth The Sun contains ~99.86% of all the mass in the entire Solar System Earth is basically a rounding error We live on this tiny rock next to an object so massive that almost everything else in the Solar System barely registers And that giant ball of nuclear fusion is dumping an unimaginable amount of energy into space every second
