Above pdf file will be translated for aspiring students in aeronautics, control engineering etc. so that in future lay people like me will be able to enjoy planetary scenes and events without worrying about failures.

The overall title is "Looking into the causes of failure and trying to find the right measures to take for the future with respect to the 18th scientific satellite (PLANET-B ) not inserted into Mars orbit as planned" and it is dated 21 May 2004.

This file is very much detailed at 1.1 megabytes and the number of pages is about 40, I think. In addition, I will be translating 3 more files after this particular file. They will be;

1. ISAS file with views and comments on the failure
2. Another ISAS file, a newsletter written out in a series of 4 individual letters.
3. JAXA file, which is a press release and it is a very concise document with just sufficient details.

Re concise link making I tried a few times, but I simply failed and all the links will be fully pasted out as required.

thanks panda, I look forward to your translations every day!
by the way, is there anybody who wants to collect them in a proper document? I would do it myself, but I'm too lazy...

Thanks, Paolo. If that somebody is watching these posts regularly you may eventually come into contact with him (or her) and in fact you may jointly pose further questions to me for action.

I might also add at this stage, that I will be wanting to explain, in the season's spirit, why I am bothered at all by this issue of 8 bits or 16 bits coding. I just hope that Admin will allow me to spend some time (space, and not a lot at all) on it as an exceptional posting. It is after all Merry Christmas, is it not? P
