Scientific paper

The SETISAIL, a light spacecraft carrying an inflatable antenna 12 to 110 meters in diameter, will increase the range of SETI up to the center of the Galaxy and beyond, although in a narrow privileged direction only. The antenna may also act as a solar sail to let the spacecraft exit the solar system at the highest possible speed (50 km/s or greater). The discussion covers the theory of the gravitational lens of the sun, spacecraft concept, international partners for the SETISAIL mission, and management and funding for the SETISAIL mission.
