In the latest edition of the 10 Things blog, we present a week in the life of the solar system. From the sun to the Earth to Mars to Saturn--our fleet of robotic spacecraft captured all of these images during the course of just one week earlier this year.

NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail system has deployed in low Earth orbit! It’s testing technology to use the tiny force of sunlight — roughly equivalent to the weight of a paperclip resting on your palm — to overcome drag and gain altitude. More: go.nasa.gov/4b1Ty3w | NASA Space Alerts

Ce mercredi 24 avril a été lancé l'Advanced Composite Solar Sail System ! La NASA révolutionne l'exploration spatiale en utilisant la lumière du soleil comme carburant pour les missions futures ! 💫 Avec l'ACS3, les voyages spatiaux à faible coût deviennent une réalité. Comme un voilier dans l'océan, ACS3 se propulse à travers l'espace en utilisant la pression de la lumière solaire, déployant ses flèches composites depuis le CubeSat. Cette technologie offre une alternative durable et efficace au
