Japan unfurls Ikaros solar sail in space

Anyone else think naming the thing <i>Ikaros</i> is tempting fate much?

Where are they sending the spacecraft? do they have any estimates on how fast it will get up to?

many more details on official blog <a href="http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2010/06/20100611_ikaros_e.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2010/06/20100611_ikaros_e.html</a>

Perhaps an odd question, but, are there any hobby astronomers here who might've managed to digiscope images of this thing?
