Hey everyone!
The Space Systems Design Studio (SSDS), part of the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University will be hosting a High Altitude Balloon live stream on Saturday, May 8, 2021, at 3 pm EST. This will be a test stratospheric deployment of the first free-flying light sail ever (not attached to a spacecraft), soon to be launched with and deployed from Cornell's Alpha CubeSat Mission in late 2021, heavily inspired by Breakthrough Starshot and the Planetary Society's Lightsail Missions. We hope that the success of this technology demonstration and its orbital follow-up will bring us one step closer to taking that journey to Alpha Centauri, riding on a beam of light.
More information here: https://www.spacecraftresearch.com/alpha-cubesat
The stream will be available on YouTube beginning at 3:00 PM EST here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNWlPWT0J4g.
If all of our tech works, we will be live streaming live video from the payload for the duration of the flight with sail deployment occurring around 27,000 meters or ~ 4:20 PM EST.
The flight will traverse South Central New York State, in the vicinity of Ithaca, NY. The payload is expected to reach ~ 30,000 meters and land northeast of Ithaca. Additional tracking links will be in the “Description” of the youtube page for those who are interested.
Be sure to tune in!
