A new spaceship is tumbling through space uncontrollably as engineers on the ground work to fix an issue that caused the $20 million craft to lose control.
The agency's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3), a craft with four reflective 'sails' designed to test a new type of propulsion system, hit a snag when it unfurled the sails.
Engineers noticed a slight bend in one of the 'booms,' or structural beams, that support the sails, impacting its ability to stay on course.
