Cost To Install Xm Satellite In Lexus 2003Researchers Just Launched a Prototype of Humanitys First Interstellar SpacecraftLast year, extraterrestrial exploration venture Breakthrough Initiatives announced an ambitious plan to send tons of tiny spacecraft to our nearest neighboring star system, Alpha Centauri. The project, called Breakthrough Starshot, is focused on launching lightweight nanocraft to the stars at rip roaring speeds. Recently, the project took a big leap toward achieving its ultimate goal by successfully sending six test craft into Low Earth Orbit. The tiny spacecraft, called Sprites, are just 3. Aerospace engineer Zac Manchester, who is leading the design on the Sprites, has been working on them for the last 1. What weve set out to do from the beginning is push the size limits of spacecraft, Manchester told Gizmodo. The question was how small can we make a satellite and still make it do something useful.
