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 |

Sanjay Limaye :
I walk over to the Akatsuki Project Office and am greeted by Takeshi Imamura who promptly shows me one of the two images taken yesterday. It is a UVI image and it is one of the best images of Venus I have seen. Akatsuki’s UVI is a 1024x1024 CCD, similar to MESSENGER’s Wide Angle Camera (WAC). But MESSENGER's WAC did not have a 365 nm filter. I learn that the image will be released at the Wednesday evening briefing. -------------------- Free software for planetary science (including Cassini Image Viewer).
