Cosmos 1 was a project by Cosmos Studios and The Planetary Society to test a solar sail in space. As part of the project an unmanned solar sail spacecraft christened Cosmos 1 was launched into space at 15:46:09 EDT (19:46:09 UTC) on June 21 2005 from the submarine Borisoglebsk in the Barents Sea. However a rocket failure prevented the spacecraft from reaching its intended orbit.
