Reaching 20 % Light Speed - StarShot😳🔥

Описание: Reaching 20 % Light Speed - StarShot😳🔥 #breakthrough

The Breakthrough Starshot project is an ambitious mission designed to send a fleet of tiny, gram-scale probes—called StarChips—to Alpha Centauri, our nearest star system, located 4.37 light-years away. Equipped with ultra-thin light sails, these probes will be propelled by powerful laser arrays on Earth, enabling them to reach 20% of the speed of light (around 215 million km/h).

This incredible speed would allow the StarChips to complete the journey in just 20 years, whereas conventional spacecraft would take tens of thousands of years. While the mission is one-way, these probes are designed to beam back data to Earth, offering humanity's first-ever close-up images of a planet beyond our solar system. This groundbreaking mission could pave the way for future interstellar exploration.
