On Orbits and Org Charts Putting Membership Dollars to Work Across the Globe

TO ANSWER THE traditional question “What did you do on your summer vacation?,” here at The Planetary Society, we got ready to launch LightSail 2. It's a little bit difficult to describe how much this next mission means to the Society and to me. Three years ago, we managed to fly LightSail 1. It was a big success, but there are even better things ahead. Our second solar sail mission could launch as early as November from Cape Canaveral. We do not yet have a specific launch date, but once we do, we'll share it with you on our website and via email. I hope many of you will consider a trip to Cape Canaveral for the launch. It'll be historic and spectacular.
