The Planetary Society is collecting names and messages to be placed on its Lightsail-1 spacecraft...as well as another solar sail that will be launched with Japan's Akatsuki mission to Venus next year:

The DVD was installed on IKAROS last night.

I think it says they received the DVD. The subsequent Tweet says it'll be mounted next week. At least that's what I think it means. The Google translation turns out a bit naughty.

The Babylon translation is even more horrendous.

EDIT: The DVD was attached to IKAROS on April 25 (using Velcro).
