Answer:
JAXA’s IKAROS – the world’s first ever solar sail spacecraft.
Solar sail craft?
JAXA’s IKAROS, world’s first spacecraft with solar sailing propulsion.
IKAROS (Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun) is a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s experimental spacecraft.
The IKAROS probe is the world’s first spacecraft to use solar sailing as the main propulsion.
After spending six months traveling to Venus, and then it will begin a three-year
journey to the far side of the Sun. The mission includes investigations of aspects of
interplanetary space, such as the gamma-ray burst, solar wind and cosmic dust.
IKAROS was successfully launched together with Akatsuki (the Venus Climate Orbiter)
aboard an H-IIA rocket from the Tanegashima Space Center on 21 May 2010.
IKAROS Solar Sail. Works on much the same principle as a radiometer.
I believe that this type of system will be the fastest thing we create for a very long time. Ironic, given that it has no motive power of it’s own.
Japanese spacecraft IKAROS. First spacecraft to successfully demonstrate solar-sail technology in interplanetary space.
First Space Solar Power or Space oberving satellite

IKAROS (Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun) is the first spacecraft to successfully demonstrate solar-sail technology in interplanetary space.
IKAROS – first spacecraft to successfully employ solar sailing.

Float through space using only the power of the sun.
solar sail. of the Icarus (with spelling mod) of JAXA.
the solar powered spacecraft
The IKAROS probe is the world’s first spacecraft to use solar sailing as the main propulsion
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency spacecraft Ikaros, which launched in May alongside the Venus-bound orbiter Akatsuki, is the first vehicle to have deployed a solar sail and successfully rode the sunlight in deep space.
This is the solar sail.
NASA’s SDO
JAXA IKAROS
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency spacecraft Ikaros, which launched in May alongside the Venus-bound orbiter Akatsuki, is the first vehicle to have deployed a solar sail and successfully rode the sunlight in deep space.
Solar sail,i think
IKAROS (Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun) is a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s experimental spacecraft.
Basically it’s an interplanetary light sail.
Ikaros – first satellite to demonstrate space travel using solar sails.
