It lives and breathes with you, the Space Suit this week on planetary radio.

Welcome, I'm at Kaplan of the Planetary Society, with more of the human adventure across our solar system and beyond.

I love being pleasantly surprised, and the book we'll talk about this week is much more than pleasant.

We'll meet Nicholas de Macho, the author of Space Suit Fashioning Apollo,

a beautifully designed book that is about so much more.

Bruce Betts will provide another light sale to update when we begin this week's What's Up segment,

and with the Planetary Society's Solar Sail up above us right now,

we'll hear from the Society's digital editor,

Jason Davis, about how to see it with your own eyes.

Jason, as we record, it's not quite out yet, but hopefully by the time people are able to hear this you will have

included at planetary.org some useful directions on how to catch light sale too.

Yeah, we've been getting this question a lot and while we have the information on our mission page, we decided it would be best to kind of list it all out in a blog post about exactly what to do if you want to try to see

light sail to in the night sky.

What's the trick?

On our Mission Control page, this is the page we have at planetary.org slash Mission Control, this is the page we have at planetary.org

slash Mission Control. We have vital signs of the spacecraft there from the

telemetry we're downloading from it. And then we also have a map showing

the spacecraft's current position and beneath that map,

that map, you'll see the next time the spacecraft is flying in range of your

location.

Now that's based on your browser's reported location, and you can look on the map for a little red dot to see where the page thinks you are.

Now just because Liceale is flying within range of you doesn't mean you'll necessarily be able to see it during that past.
