"🔊Behold: NASA’s ½ tennis court-sized solar sail has unfurled (prev microwave oven-sized at April’s launch)
☀️Photons (light particles) will push the satellite’s sails through space like air particles (wind) propel sailboats across the sea 🧵1/3

  "The Advanced Composite Solar Sail System has four black-and-white wide-angle cameras, centrally located aboard the spacecraft. Near the bottom of the photo, the view from one camera shows the reflective sail quadrants supported by composite booms. At the top of the photo is the back surface of one of the spacecraft’s solar panels. The five sets of markings on the booms close to the spacecraft are reference markers to indicate full extension of the sail. The booms are mounted at right angles, and the solar panel is rectangular, but appear distorted because of the wide-angle camera field of view. Credit: NASA"
