The table in question is a regular matrix, 3 columns and 7 rows. Members are as follows.
C1R1: Item of evaluation. C2R1: Before reverse spin operation C3R1: After reverse spin operation C1R2: Spin rates C2R2: 0.17 rpm C3R2: - 0.24 rpm C1R3: Spin rate changes C2R3: about 0.1 rpm (decreasing)/ day C3R3: about 0.1 rpm (increasing)/day C1R4: Sun angle C2R4: tendency to increase C3R4: tendency to decrease C1R5: Sun-IKAROS distance C2R5: 0.72 AU C3R5: 0.72 AU C1R6: Earth-IKAROS distance C2R6: 1.10 AU C3R6: 1.10 AU C1R7: Remainning fuel C2R7: about 2 kg or less (note: 20 kg at launch) C3R7: reverse spin used a few hundred gramms of fuel By the way, IKAROS is a kite and the kite in Chinese characters consists of a wind component and a width (or, span) component. I think it is lovely. P |
