“Dream of solar sailing in space lives on in new project” discusses an announcement by The Planetary Society to build, launch, and test LightSail-1 — a small craft that will be propelled by solar sail. As explained in the article, previous attempts to launch solar sail craft failed.
I have always been intrigued by the solar sail concept (I am intrigued by a lot of things, though) and will try to keep an eye on this.
