MISSION SUCCESS!

We just raised our orbit around Earth using sunlight alone, something that’s never been done before.

#LightSail2 is now the highest performing solar sail to date and it's 100% crowdfunded by our members and backers!

[Nick Hague @AstroHague]

Good morning from @Space_Station. Our planet is a beauty.

In case you missed it, we got some footage earlier today from Japan's second Hayabusa2 (@haya2e_jaxa) asteroid landing on 11 July.

Yes, it's awesome.

Earth is special. 🌎 It's the only place in the universe that we know contains life. Celebrate its beauty by taking a look at these breathtaking images of our home planet, as captured by crew members aboard the @Space_Station: https://t.co/hhtZE6w8n5

.@NASA_TESS has discovered 21 planets outside our solar system and captured data on other interesting events occurring in the southern sky during its first year of science. TESS has now turned its attention to the Northern Hemisphere. @NASA https://t.co/gEz6LXHIBL

Watch this:

A tracking camera gave an incredible view of @SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket booster hurtling back down through the sky. You can even see the booster bounce just a little on the landing! https://t.co/iSlNFXx4Nt

Congrats to our friends at @exploreplanets, whose #LightSail2 spacecraft has successfully deployed the large, aluminized Mylar sail it will use to raise its orbit solely with sunlight. Sail deployment marks a major milestone for the mission. https://t.co/Dn1ELRSrK9

Just got a present in my care package on the Soyuz! It’s a magazine from July 4, 1969 signed by @AstroMCollins wishing me all the best. I couldn’t thank him enough. He's up here on @Space_Station with us and his legacy continues to inspire. #Apollo50th
