If you're interested in space technology, then go here: http://www.planetary.org/explore/projects/lightsail-solar-sailing/lightsail-mission-control.html
The Planetary Society is releasing real-time telemetry from their LightSail 2 satellite. So we can all "watch" when they deploy the solar sail in what will be one of the first significant tests of the technology.
Solar sails may be a future means of propulsion for long distance probes and even eventually for manned missions.
