Interesting how 2025 is a key date for both the investor and the success of the mission.

How Solar Cruiser Works
Solar Cruiser will hitch a ride to space in 2025 with NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe, IMAP. IMAP will study how the constant flow of charged particles coming from our Sun known as the solar wind interacts with cosmic radiation coming from the rest of the universe. This interaction creates a bubble that surrounds and protects our solar system.
Solar Cruiser will coast with IMAP and another small satellite towards Lagrange point 1, or L1, a location where Earth and the Sun’s gravity balance to create a place for spacecraft to orbit. L1 lies along the Earth-Sun line about 1.5 million kilometers (0.9 million miles) from Earth. Solar Cruiser will fly beyond L1 and use a solar sail to make its own artificial orbit closer to the Sun, but still on a straight line between the Sun and Earth as Earth revolves around the Sun. Only a solar sail can provide the forces necessary to maintain such an otherwise unstable orbit, since doing so requires constant fuel.
Solar Cruiser will then use its sail to slowly change the angle of its orbit. The spacecraft will also test out a number of supplemental solar sailing technologies, including lightweight solar panels built into the sail structure. The sail will also use LCD panels that can be turned on and off to change the direction of thrust gained from solar sailing.
