Fascinating stuff. Early days, but I hope the project succeeds.
I saw on the news today that UK Satellite builder Astrium has just got a contract to build the probe to survey the Sun from closer than any other. Farnborough is also developing an Ion Drive space motor, but as they have been part of the Government's defence sell-off to US corporations it will probably be taken by them, as usual. |

Nice to see someone working on the next generation of aerospace technology. No recent reports here in the States on how NASA is coming along with it's new mission to improve muzzie self esteem with regards to science and engineering.
