if I understand correctly today's release, IKAROS has been put into hibernation owing to the large distance from the Earth and Sun, making communication difficult and owing to the quasi-depletion of its reserves of gas for attitude control

Yes, Paolo, but not in one go、I am afraid. I will translate the whole lot in parts. First, the introduction. Updated 6 January 2012. About the result of reverse spin operation of IKAROS and transfer into heybernation mode We have been analysing the result of above reverse spin operation carried out on 18 October 2011 and we are now able to offer detailed information about this reverse spinning. Also, we are informing you that we have confirmed that IKAROS has entered into a hybernation mode, and this is judged from the operation records up until now, by 6 January 2012 (instruments shut down because of the decrease in the power generated). ◆ Result of the reverse spin operation On 18 October 2011 IKAROS sfifted into the reverse spin status without any hitches. Its data is carried on the table 1 as follows. P |
