SUN-POWERED CRAFT BEGINS TEST MISSION
BOFFINS are launching a spaceship that could help us to "sail" to Mars.
The Advanced Composite Solar Sail System, or ACS3, is earmarked to blast off today for flight tests in orbit.
The Nasa mission will test a new way of navigating our solar system by using the propulsive power of sunlight.
The ACS3 will launch aboard a Rocket Lab Electron rocket from the Mahia Peninsula of New Zealand.
