NanoSail-D Update

December 11, 2010 | Amateur Radio, Amateur Satellite | By: Mark VandeWettering

It appears that the solar sail cubesat NanoSail-D that was recently launched may not have deployed properly: they haven’t been able to track it or contact as of yet. Bummer. I’ve been intrigued by solar sail technology for quite some time. Here’s hoping they figure out what went wrong, but bummer thusfar.
