IKAROS sounds really cool, is there any website to find more info on it?

Mine was taken from the press kit too -- I think yours has more pixels but is just upsampled. Which is not to say that upsampling to make the image occupy more space on the screen doesn't help in interpreting the image; I just don't think it actually contains any more data.

I now realise that I made a simple mistake with my earlier translation.
Page 17 should have been page 18. And Troia group of sateroids should have been Trojan group of asteroids, I think. Anyway, page 17 should have been as follows, P Page 17: 3: Latter mission operational plan Continue with optional devices mission 1. GAP: GAP= GAmma‐ray burst Polarimeter This device comprises of a refelector at the centre, surrounded by 12 pieces of fluorescent light detector, intended to measure polarisation of Ganma ray bursts. 2. ALLADDIN= Arrayed Large‐Area Dust Detector for INterplanetary Space This device is intended to record collision occurence times, maximum signal value and signal decay so that data will contribute to spatial distribution analysis of space dusts in the region nearer to the sun than earth. 3. VLBI= Very Long Baseline Interferometry This will make use of quasors in the far distance in order to measure precise IKAROS positions using delta VLBI technique. Regular measurements will be made with future missions. Results so far of these optionnal devices: 1. GAP, ALDN, VLBI are all normal and producing data, however 2. because we concentrated our resources on system operation as the first priority we have not had enough time with these divices. So, our current intention is to use them as long as we could. P |
