Marco CannavacciuoloOggi, a #LineaRadioSavona con GianFunk abbiamo investigato su #acs3 un innovativo tipo di #satellite che sfrutta una #vela solare per muoversi nello spazio!
Grazie a tutti gli ascoltatori, buon sabato a tutti! 🙏👋🚀

Philippe Smet#NASA is testing a #solar sail: a thin, 80 m² reflective sheet that uses the pressure of reflected sunlight for propulsion. During a pass, here through #UrsaMajor/ The Big Dipper, the (slowly rotating?) #ACS3 goes from bright to invisible and back, depending on the orientation of the Sun, the sail and the observer. #SpotTheSail

Augen auf: So kann man das NASA-Solarsegel von der Erde sehen
Die NASA testet derzeit im Erdorbit ein innovatives Solarsegel. Das Advanced Composite Solar Sail System könnte einmal die Raumfahrt revolutionieren. Enthusiasten können das Segel sogar am Nachthimmel beobachten. So funktioniert es und so kann man es sehen.
Dr. John Barentine FRASJust saw a favorable pass of the NASA #ACS3 #SolarSail near the zenith from Tucson. At its brightest, it was around the same brightness as δ Cyg and β Ceph, both about magnitude +3. At its faintest I couldn’t see it at all (unaided-eye). Zenith brightness at the time was 19.9 mag/arcsec2. Clearly still tumbling as well.
gtbarryNASA's solar sail successfully spreads its wings in space
Just like the wind guides a sailboat on the water, it only takes a slight amount of sunlight to guide solar sails through space. Though photons don't have mass, they can force momentum when they hit an object
