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 |

Good timing; she was right here! Here it is, with her disclaimer that she's not a space enthusiast so may not have the terminology down pat (any interpolation is mine, and therefore also any errors):
Akatsuki Status On 7 Dec at 1028 JST the mission team received a signal, but after analysis it was verified that the spacecraft was in safe mode. The team will determine the spacecraft's position and status as soon as possible and continue tracking. -------------------- 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.
