Lightsail is tiny CubeSat that uses the unlimited solar energy for propulsion!! It is a citizen-funded project that aims to help low-cost projects such as university projects for students education!!
Thanks to small size, don't have to carry heavy fuel tank something that enables continues acceleration!!
They have already lunch the lightsail 1 back to 2015, and now they are ready to lunch a second, the lightsail 2 will be attached to SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket!!
