Difference between LightSail 2 and Solar sail

LightSail 2 vs. Solar sail

LightSail 2 is a project to demonstrate controlled solar sailing using a CubeSat developed by The Planetary Society, a global non-profit organization devoted to space exploration. Solar sails (also called light sails or photon sails) are a proposed method of spacecraft propulsion using radiation pressure exerted by sunlight on large mirrors.

Similarities between LightSail 2 and Solar sail

LightSail 2 and Solar sail have 18 things in common (in Unionpedia): BoPET, Cosmos 1, CubeSail, CubeSat, Falcon 1, Falcon Heavy, IKAROS, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NanoSail-D2, NASA, Near-Earth Asteroid Scout, Photon, Radiation pressure, Solar wind, SpaceX, Sunjammer (spacecraft), The Planetary Society, Volna.

BoPET

BoPET (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, chemical and dimensional stability, transparency, reflectivity, gas and aroma barrier properties, and electrical insulation.
