RECOMMENDATION FOR GOLDEN FLEECE/GOLDEN SAT TECHNOLOGY
The Breakthrough Initiatives is a multi-hundred million dollar (US) effort to search for life in the universe. Our top project is to develop technology to send a nano-probe to the nearest star system (Alpha Centauri) in the next few decades. We intend to use a laser driven light-sail. Golden Fleece was chosen over dozens of others as our most promising lightsailapproach.
Simon P. Worden, Chairman, Breakthrough Prize Foundation
The Golden Fleece lightsailpromises to revolutionize our ability to send payloads --not only outside our solar system but to many locations inside our solar system.
