Based on @ikaroskun's tweets I'm pretty sure this is the largest size available -- if I am translating correctly, it took days or weeks to even download thumbnail images at IKAROS' current distance from Earth.

I have always thought how lovely this child of yours is, whenever you posted something... It reminds me of my life with my own kids, who are all grown up by now. People go through life stages, I think... That apart, yes, you are right with your translation, the low bit rate transmission and all that. I will translate the report you mentioned from tommorrow on as it does not seem to contain complicated pages, unlike those of Akatsuki. Why not? I myself want to know what has happened with this thing... Pandaneko |

What is to follow from now for some time is my translation of IKAROS report.
This is a strange report, for a start, it does not have an outline page, and secondly, and here, I am simply guessing from one abbreviated character string printed at the top right corner of this report that this report was comissioned to one person at JAXA, Dr Osamu Mori, and thirdly, its refrence number is 4-2, perhaps suggesting that there are other reports that JAXA do not carry on their regulaer web pages. Anyway, the first page, page 1 goes like this. Comissioned report 4-2 Report on the termination of the regular operation of the small solar power sail engineering test spacecraft. 26 January 2011 (Wed) JAXA Dr Osamu Mori P |
