TAGGED WITH spacecraft
Humanity's drive to explore has taken us across the solar system, with astronaut boots, various landers and rovers' wheels exploring the surfaces of several different planetary bodies.
A spacecraft that sails on light could provide new vantage point on solar eruptions that can disrupt modern electrical and navigation systems.
In space, maintenance isn't possible, so satellites must operate reliably for their entire mission. This makes fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) a critical requirement in satellite design.
Small devices can loft into mesosphere for climate sensing
