IKAROS sounds really cool, is there any website to find more info on it?

I've been wondering how long they'll stay near IKAROS as well. Also, do those things have some sort of attitude control? Can't figure out how they made sure that IKAROS stayed in the camera's FOV unless it was very precisely ejected.

Naw, the cameras don't have attitude control... They're gonna drift off into deep space after being released from IKAROS. Check out the Youtube link below... The DCAM floats off in a spiral fashion after it is ejected from IKAROS...which would explain why the spacecraft is off-center in the image (which I'll provide below...despite Tom helpfully providing a link to the TPS blog
 )http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_6HOqBkP2o...player_embedded
