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 |

If the Japanese pull this off it will be another 'snatching victory from the jaws of defeat' performance. They seem to do their best when their missions are in deep doodoo!

This morning I was surprised to find that there is to be a news coverage of Akatsuki during this evening's 7 O'clock TV news. It is only half an hour to go. This sort of coverage is very rare here. As far as I can recall about the only TV coverage for even Hayabusa was at the time of its disintegration...
So, I am intrigued. P |
