I'm making http://orbiterspaceport.blogspot.com/search/label/sakigakeof these probes to simulate them in Orbiter.

There isn't much reference material, specially on the propulsion systems and web searches has returned little data. I've tried GoogleTranslator and that got me to some PDFs on JAXA site but again no hard data.
To be able to do all the necessary course correction maneuvers for an accurate simulation I need info like the amount of fuel on board, engine dV, ISP, etc. Also, some schematics or high res photos would help a lot.

Does anyone has any detailed information on the probes?
