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 |

of course, there are still many points that are garbled in the machine translation, so I am very much looking forward to Pandaneko's help!

3. Outline of the failure
Akatsuki tried its orbital insertion manouvoure on 7 December by the OME retro firing (VOI-1) However, as will be stated later OME firing was stopped and only about 20% decceleration was achieved and due to that Akatsuki overshot Venus gravitatinal zone and entered solar orbit. It has been confirmed that Akatsuki is now in a solar orbit of about 200 earth days, nearest point is about 90,000,000km, and furthest point 110,000,000km from Venus. This particular orbit may allow another close contact in 6 years time. What follows is the summary of activities Around VOI-1. |
