About Sunjammer
Sunjammer was a NASA mission intended to demonstrate a solar sail constructed by LGarde, but was cancelled before launch. The largest solar sail made as of 2013, Sunjammer was named after a 1964 Arthur C. Clarke story of the same name, Sunjammer, in which several solar sails compete in a race across the Solar System.
