I thought it was time to start a separate thread on this mission, launching soon
some good medium-resolution images of the spacecraft are available on JAXA digital archives http://jda.jaxa.jp/jda/p3_e.php?time=N&...mp;mission=4066 |

Der. I should've figured that out on my own, huh? Thanks, you guys!
Kay just looked it over, and it's as you said: Q&A with a lot of "we don't knows". Does sound like they're expecting to slowly get some data down over the LGA; the data rate must be pretty slow. She also says that they lost contact "briefly" before the orbital injection maneuver, but they expect to regain contact "tomorrow"; no time given, but I guess Emily's timeline can probably help to determine that. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
