Hm. I thought DCAM1 was already jettisoned... I guess not
http://www.isas.jaxa.jp/home/IKAROS-blog/?itemid=646 Since IKAROS is spinning at only 1.1 rpm, I would assume the deployment of DCAM1 will be much more stable than that of DCAM2...and that IKAROS will be better framed (much more centered) in the DCAM1 images this time around -------------------- 2011 JPL Tweetup photos: http://www.rich-parno.com/aa_jpltweetup.html
