NASA’s newly minted Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) is supporting the fabrication of a sail of this design in preparation of a planned 2014 flight. This mission, dubbed Sunjammer, will further advance the potential of propellantless solar sails. The Sunjammer mission is being led by the private company L’Garde Inc. of Tustin, CA. Sunjammer is named after a short story written by Sir Arthur C. Clarke. This ambitious project aims to prove the efficacy of a versatile and scalable solar sail design.
