NASA solar sail is ready for mission proposals
Briefly

"What's next is for scientists to propose the use of solar sails in their missions. We've met our goal and demonstrated that we're ready to be flown," said Les Johnson, a technologist at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.
"Solar Cruiser is designed to provide much more thrust [and] enable precision navigation through space from deployment to a specific location (be it a planet, moon, asteroid, or location in deep space.)" said Johnson.
